Having never seen a Winchester in the smaller 222/223 calibers, I am wondering what is done to the rifle from the facotry?
I belive its a push feed (XTR) version, with blind/no botttom metal. Is this possible to correct to a floor plate design?
Do they come with the old style Winchester trigger?
Any known problems with this rifle?
In a word - NO...
All I've seen, save one, is the blind-mag version.. Can it be converted? Sure - just need a new stock, bottom metal and maybe magazine adjustment..
I found one about 12-13 years ago, NIB, for sale on Gunbroker.. It wasn't cheap, but I knew it would rapidly appreciate in value.. And it did..
