Thread: Anyone have an old Model 69 Win .22LR repeater?

I'm half way through making a repl't stock for the non-std stock on a Model 69. It's apparently ~ 1910 vintage and is owned by my older gunsmith clubmate, a former Ballinger Belt winner. He was given it by his father and it has shot --thousands-- of rabbits. It has a cute little aperture rear sight which will explain why it was so deadly. The current stock he made as a 15yr old and besides being somewhat "functional", it's now split through the action area. He wants to give it to his grandson and has asked me to make a stock. That's all in hand but the rifle is missing the original mag release which is very unusual design, ie some sort of plunger that's located on the side of the stock.

I know this is Lotto odds but trying to locate one to copy the release design. Even a photo would be helpful.

cheers guys.
