dude, the sticker belongs under the action... what a beaut!

I know, but that's the way I got it...

So that's what they looked like originally! Almost every one I've seen has had the bluing very faded and/or worn.

I think it was 1968 when they started using serial numbers. Also, after 1961 it was the Winchester era.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I've heard different stories from different people and I wasn't sure about it. Did the all the Winchester era guns have serial numbers?

....don't mean to hijack!

Ask for another sticker and put it where ever you wish.

Beautiful. Brings back a lot of memories, got one when I was about 11.

I ordered another sticker from the CFO yesterday. The one on top of the receiver is as good as gone.

No--I had a Cooey/Winchester model 39 that I gave my brother and it had no serial number. I also have a Cooey/Winchester marked model 600 that has no serial number.

I believe the chronology is as follows: Cooey rifles were sold with Winchester markings starting in 1961. Serial numbers first appeared around 1967.

Man, does that look nice.

Very fine looking '60. I've had mine since 1986 and it was in nowhere near that shape when I bought it. Mine is also sans serial number. Not sure I would shoot such a fine specimen, but if you do you will come to admire the utter simplicity and reliability of the '60.

...I don't know if I'll ever sell it considering what these actually go for these days

Lol no kidding! I'll buy it for $150 shipped

Got the Weaver side mount with matching rings for her today. And the simplest, smallest decent 1" scope to go with them.
This rifle is turning into a fine little "sniper" on a budget...
Pictures can be seen here.
