New to me Winchester Lever action model 150

[radmacks]

Just got a new to me Winchester model 150 in the mail today. Have not yet been to the range yet.

Info is scarce so I'll post what I know so far;

Only made from 1967-73 discontinued due to the popularity of the 9422.

Later models had plastic sites, mine have metal.

Still trying to date it if anyone has any tips or links.

I have found a takedown manual for it so far.

Any tips tricks or comments post em up.

Enough chatter on to the pics & video

Nice rifle how much did you get it for? Can it shoot shorts?

Had one here that was finicky.
Took her apart and cleaned all the history owtta her and
she werked like she was suppose to.
They never took awf like the 94-22, but not a bad little unit.
Probably 30 % the funds to purchase too.

Have had one for over 40 years. My first 22, and thousands of rounds down the tube. Mine will shoot shorts, but likes LR. Keep it clean and you will have no problems. Parts are available from the US still. That gun looks in good shape and you paid a fair price. Go shoot and enjoy it!

Winchester used essentially the same receiver, with minor modifications, for the semi, the pump and the lever. I believe the Models were 150, 250, 190, 270 and 290.
When they work, they work well. Parts can be tough to find.

Nice score! Is there another one available?

Had one for a while found it to small for me and did not hold enough ammo for me. Glad you are happy with your purchase

I just found one of these little beauty's where do you guys think I should look for a barrel band and sight riser for changing elevation ?

 

[radmacks]

Not sure. I haven't had to do anything to mine except shoot and enjoy it

I took it on a trade and it was claimed it didn't work so I got a smoking deal on it. I took it apart and inspected all the parts they all looked fine figured I'd clean it later. Long story short I decided to try it first after I put it back together because of the logistics of being in a suitable place to try before I got home. Anyways it seems to work great. I still have to clean it up but I think it's a keeper I like vintage stuff especially firearms. I was lacking a lever 22 and wanted a 9422 for some time but this seems to be a fun little gun without the worry of devaluing or scraping up a nice 9422.
