The Winchester Model 52 was a bolt-action .22-caliber target rifle introduced by the Winchester Repeating Arms

Company in 1920. For many years it was the premier smallbore match rifle in the United States, if not the world.

Known as the "King of the .22's," the Model 52 has been called by Winchester historian Herbert Houze "perfection

in design." However, by the 1970s the World War I-era design was showing its age and had given way in top-level

competition to newer match rifles from Walther and Anschtz; the costly-to-produce Model 52, which had long been

a loss leader prestige product by that time, was finally discontinued when US Repeating Arms took over the

manufacture of Winchester rifles from Olin Corporation in 1980.

Origins

During World War I Winchester's management determined that production of the Model 1885 Single Shot would not

be resumed in centerfire chamberings after the war, nor in .22 rimfire (the "Winder musket") after existing Army

training rifle contracts were fulfilled or cancelled. A new .22 would therefore be needed for the then very popular

sport of target shooting; Winchester reasoned that returning soldiers would be drawn to the bolt action design with

which they had become familiar. The rifle to be desugnated the Model 52 was designed from the ground up as an

"accuracy rifle" the world's first production .22 to be so conceived. It was initially hoped that the Army could be

persuaded to buy a bolt-action smallbore training rifle in addition to-or in place of-its existing contracts for Model

1885's. Yet despite the outward appearance of its early versions, the Model 52 was never a military rifle, as the Army

did not buy any[1]

.

Development

1920 Model 52

In February 1918 the company assigned designers Thomas Crosley

Johnson and Frank Burton to begin work on the new match rifle.

Johnson had more experience with bolt actions than most at

Winchester (which was then primarily a maker of lever- and

pump-action firearms), having superintended production of the

P-14/M1917 Enfield, as well as having designed a series of prototype military rifles known as Models A through

D.[2]

Johnson quickly obtained approval for a receiver based closely on that of the Model D, together with a barrel

adapted from the .22 target version of the Model 1885. The stock from the receiver back was modeled on that of the

Model D, which in turn had been derived from the Model 1895 Winchester-Lee; but incorporated a forearm based on

a custom Single Shot target stock designed in 1908 by Winchester's house marksman, Capt. Albert F. Laudensack.[3]

Patent drawing of Johnson and Burton's revised

magazine-fed action

With the externals settled, Johnson and Burton turned to

developing the action for what was now "Experimental Design No.

111." Each built a prototype of his own design in Winchester's

Model Shop, both at this stage still single-shot. In the fall of 1918

the project's requirements were changed to include a detachable

5-round box magazine: neither Johnson's nor Burton's original

bolts would work with a magazine feed, but a combination

incorporating elements of both proved highly satisfactory. A

finalized repeater prototype was made in April 1919 and taken to

Washington where it was evaluated by Lt. Col. Townsend Whelenof the General Staff, Director of Civilian Marksmanship Maj.

Richard LaGarde, and Gen. Fred Phillips of the National Rifle

Association, who were enthusiastic- although guarded about

the prospects of a Government contract.

Whelen further recommended that pre-production samples be rushed out in time for the National Matches [4] at

Caldwell, New Jersey that August. Six "G22R" prototypes were readied, and equipped five individual event winners

and the victorious U.S. Dewar Cup team: the new Winchester was the talk of the tournament. Accordingly, full

production as Model 52[5]

was authorized on 11 September 1919 and commenced in April 1920 (using the lines and

machinery originally installed to produce the P-14/M1917 Enfield).[6]

Design

The Model 52 action, bolt open

The Model 52 was a non-rotating, rear-locked, cock-on-closing

bolt-action design. The Model D-derived receiver was cylindrical,

bored and machined from a forged billet, and of substantial thickness.

The bolt's dual locking lugs were part of the rotating bolt-handle collar,

which provided a camming action to seal the breech on closing and

extract the spent case on opening. The bolt itself was undercut for the

forward third of its length and rode on polished flats; a projecting lug

at the front edge caught the top cartridge in the magazine. The bolt face

was rebated so as to surround the case rim, and was chamfered to fit

the recessed receiver ring. Dual-opposed sprung claw extractors were

inlet into the sides of the bolt, providing controlled cartridge feed. A

fixed blade-type ejector was located at the rear of the loading platform.

The original Johnson trigger mechanism, a two-stage or compound-motion military type derived, again, from his

Model D, made use of a horizontal sear pivoted from the front; the trigger fit vertically through a pinned mortise in

the sear and was shaped at the top so as to cam against the underside of the bolt and depress the assembly, releasing

the firing pin. The one-piece striker terminated in a Springfield-like knurled cocking-piece. The wing safety was

mounted on the left side of the receiver; when engaged it physically blocked the cocking-piece and cammed it

slightly rearward, disengaging the trigger linkage.

Production history

The Model 52 went through many alterations over its sixty years. These changes were not systematic: improvements

to the action, stock and so on were made on an ad hoc basis, and it is clearer to treat these alterations so separated

rather than as "models."

Note on serial numbers and sub-model or "Style" letter designators: It was Winchester's practice to

stamp each receiver with its serial number after milling and preliminary polishing, often weeks or

months before the rifle was actually assembled. Accordingly, the alphabetic SN suffixes A, B, C, D and

(prefixed) E were applied specifically to changes to the receiver forging itself, originally as an aid to

factory workers: not to new designs of stock, furniture or even trigger mechanism if no change to the

receiver was required. Other design changes might coincide in time with a receiver 'submodel,' or first

appear in the same catalog: many commentators have been confused by this, talking about such things

as the "Model 52B stock" which, strictly speaking, did not exist. Winchester catalogs and advertising

literature did not mention letter designators until the 1950's.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Model 52D represented a comprehensive upgrade of the entire rifle.

Action

Speed Lock (1930): Frank Burton replaced Johnson's military-style compound-motion trigger, hung from the

sear, with a new trigger with a low pivot and rear sear notch, reducing trigger travel by 75% and providing for

set-screw pull-weight adjustment. In addition, Burton redesigned the firing pin so as to reduce its travel from

approximately .5" (12mm) to .125" (3mm): all of which resulted in a much faster lock time and greater accuracy.

At this time the original model's knurled cocking-piece disappeared, replaced by a short trapezoidal boss. Burton

carefully designed the Speed Lock to fit the existing receiver and bolt body without modification.

Model 52A (1935, not so marked until 1936): It had been observed that the safety pivot stem was prone to

bending, and so it was shortened by .08 inches. This very minor change to the safety necessitated a slight

alteration to the left rear receiver wall, and in order to address the confusion which resulted on the assembly line
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AWinchester_52_action.jpg

these receivers were stamped with xxxxxA serial numbers beginning in June 1936 . There was otherwise no

difference from the "pre-A" Speed Locks.

Single-shot Adapter (1935): Not a design change so much as an accessory, the Adapter was effectively a dummy

magazine with a shaped top, to facilitate manual loading.

Model 52B, "Improved" Speed Lock (1937): Laudensack replaced the original left-mounted wing safety with a

more convenient sliding-plate safety on the right side of the receiver. The 52B design also raised the left receiverwall abreast the magazine higher than the right, whereas on earlier versions both sides were flush with the loading

platform. Laudensack also modified the Speed Lock mechanism, including the addition of an adjustable

trigger-return spring and a sprung sear-disengagement plunger. Unfortunately this revised Speed Lock proved

immediately unpopular, most shooters considering it to have excessive vibration and creep compared to the

original-- as well as to the "Miracle Trigger" of the new Remington 37, the 52's first serious American

competitor.

"Round-top" receiver (1937): The original Model 52 had a flat milled in the top of the receiver bridge with a

dovetail machined into it for sight mounting. The 1934 Sporting Model had the receiver left round; in 1937 this

became an option on target models as well. The "flat-top" was discontinued in 1946 (none had actually been made

since 1941) and all postwar 52's had the round-top form.

Model 52C (1951): During the wartime hiatus the Post-War Production Recommendation Committee proposed

that when Model 52 manufacture resumed, the poorly-received Style B trigger should be replaced with a

completely new design. In the event, Winchester returned to the 52B when the war ended, but in the meantime an

extensive (and time-consuming) scientific study of lock mechanisms was undertaken. The result was Harry

Sefried's two-lever Micro-Motion trigger, introduced in 1951. Adjustable for pull-weight between 2.5 and 6 lbs,

and travel between .030 and an almost imperceptible .003 inches, the Micro-Motion was an instant success, and

considered the new state of the art in match rifle trigger locks.

Model 52D (1961): In 1956 the US Olympic rifle team commissioned ten custom Model 52C's for the upcoming

Melbourne Games. These became the prototypes for the Style D when Winchester elected to redesign the entirerifle literally lock, stock, and barrel. The 52D action differed from its predecessors in being a single-shot:

eliminating the magazine aperture in the receiver base rendered the entire assembly stiffer and (theoretically)

more accurate. There was also a new Micro-Motion trigger lock based on the Style C but with different geometry,

and adjustable to as little as one pound. On the International Match version (1969), a trigger assembly by master

gunsmith Karl Kenyon or an ISU set-trigger were offered as alternatives to the Winchester trigger.

Model 52E (1975): The Model 52E was a D-model with the receiver milled to accept an aluminum bedding

block/recoil lug (not always installed). Shortly afterwards the loading geometry was slightly tweaked.

Stock

Laudensack modification (1924

30): Pull lengthened by .5" and the comb raised so as to reduce drop by the

same amount, with a thumb-flute (later omitted); the semi-pistol grip was thickened at the wrist and given a fuller

profile, deeper curve and square end. The butt pitch was changed from perpendicular to the comb to perpendicular

to the barrel axis.

"Semi-beavertail" stock (193048): Forearm widened to a flat-bottomed, trapezoidal profile; finger grooves

omitted; drop reduced again. Oil finish replaced varnish. With slight modifications was renamed the Standard

Target Stock in 1934.

Special Target Stock (Optional 1934-36): Similar to Standard Target Stock, but with a taller, wider buttstock.

Sporting Model (193453) See below.

Adjustable front sling swivel (1935), which necessitated lengthening the forearm by 1.25".

5/8


Marksman Stock (Optional from 1936, standard 1948-61): This heavy Laudensack-designed match stock with

high comb and full beavertail forearm outsold the Standard Target Stock, which it eventually replaced. Instead of

the standard stock's external barrel band, the Marksman used a light band fixed inside the squared-off fore-end;

this would be replaced by a pillar mount after the war (Marksman 1A). There were two slightly different versions:

the Marksman 1 for telescopic or high scope-level sights, and the Marksman 2 (1938) for standard-height sights.

Soft-bedded by 1948. Discontinued 1961.

Monte Carlo stock (195359) : A modified stock for the Sporting Model with revised buttstock and greatly

enlarged, rollover cheekpiece.

Model D Marksman stock (196180): This very heavy stock with full pistol grip, large zero-drop buttstock, and

the forearm flare extended back to the bolt handle introduced the free-floating barrel to the Model 52 line; it also

featured a rail under the forearm for mounting offhand grips and other accessories. (This stock owed little to the

1956 Olympic rifles, which had custom Dick Morgan freestyle stocks).

International Match stock (optional from 1969): An Al Freeland freestyle thumbhole stock with adjustable

Schtzen buttplate; fewer than 750 made. Renamed International 3-Position in 1975.

International Prone stock (optional from 1975): A variant of the International Match intended for prone

shooting.

Barrel

Standard Target: 28", 1" at the receiver tapering to .75"

Heavy Target (optional from 1927): 28", 1" at the receiver tapering to .875"

Bull Barrel (optional 1939-1960): 28", 1.125" at the receiver tapering to .875". Model 52 Bull-guns came

exclusively with the Marksman stock.

Sporting (19341959): 24", .830" at the receiver tapering to .555"

International Match (from 1969, with International Match stock): Heavy Target pattern, precision-rifled and

lead-lapped, with a rebated muzzle (omitted in late examples). The chamber was hand-cut to such tolerances that

a cartridge could not be fully seated by finger pressure.

Stainless steel and nickel steel barrels were offered briefly in 1930-31

Sights

Iron

All Model 52's with iron sights were equipped with receiver-mounted aperture sights, never barrel mounts or open

sights.

Because at the time the Model 52 was developed many Army- andNational Rifle Association-sponsored matches were restricted to

"military-style" sights, and because Winchester had hopes of selling the

52 to the War Department as a marksmanship training rifle, Burton and

Laudensack designed a folding-leaf ladder sight for the new target rifle.

Designated 82A, it bore some resemblance to the sight on the M1903

Springfield, especially in its pivoting-base windage adjustment (albeit

controlled by dual-opposed thumbscrews rather than the Springfield

rack-and-worm). However, elevation adjustment was governed by a

micrometer click-wheel for precision, not free-sliding like genuine

military sights. The Burton-Laudensack helped Model 52 shooters sweep matches and set records throughout the

1920s, but more precise aftermarket sights took over the field and the increasingly obsolescent 82A was not offered

after World War II.

Winchester catalogs from the beginning listed 52's with sights by other

makers; indeed, the buyer could specify any compatible peep on a

special-order basis. The most common of these was the Lyman 48series: the 48-J and -JH for flat-top dovetail-mount receivers, and the

48-F and -FH for round-top side-mount rifles (standard on the 52

Sporting Model). Other popular sights were the Wittek-Vaver 35 Mielt,

the Marble Goss 52, and the Redfield 90 and 100. Late 52's frequently

were fitted with Redfield "Olympic" or "International" match sights.

The stock Winchester front sight was an undercut post type;

aftermarket rear sights were typically paired with a compatible globe sight such as the Lyman 17A (except for the

Sporter, on which a hooded Lyman or Redfield Gold Bead front sight was standard).

Telescopic

Barrel-mounted scope blocks were optional on early-production 52's; they were made standard in 1924. These blocks

were mounted 6.2" apart, giving 1.2" per minute-of-angle graduation at 100 yards. Originally the Winchester A3 and

A5 as well as Lyman scopes were offered. In 1933 new bases with Fecker notches were introduced, using standard

7.2" (1"/MOA) spacing; these were compatible with any normal telescopic sight. Long-barrel Fecker, Unertl and

Lyman Targetspot were popular telescopes for prewar Model 52 target rifles, with Redfield and Bausch & Lomb

becoming ascendant in the 1950s. The late-70's 52E had additional mounting holes drilled in the forward receiver

ring.

Sporting Models were not factory fitted for telescopic sights (except by special order) until 1953, when 52C Sporter

receivers (not barrels) were provided with tapped and plugged screw holes. However, many earlier examples were so

equipped by private gunsmiths: nearly all the popular hunting scopes have been mounted at one time or another. A

period-correct scope is not considered by collectors to detract significantly from the 'originality' of a vintage Sporter.

The Sporting Model

Around 1931 Major John W. Hessian, a friend of new Winchester president John M. Olin,[7]

had a private gunsmith

remount his Model 52 in a custom lightweight "sporting" stock. Olin was so impressed that he ordered the

development of a 52 Sporter as a production model, which made its debut in 1934.

The Sporting Model had a lightweight 24-inch barrel and an elegant gloss-finished stock of figured walnut with a

slender, tapering capped forearm, pronounced pistol grip, high comb and cheekpiece, and fancy checkering. The

action was identical with contemporary[8] target models, except that the receiver top was left round rather than milled

flat. Weighing only 7-1/4 pounds, it came with Lyman 48-F aperture sights standard, and retailed for the substantial

sum of $88.50 (the equivalent of nearly $1400 in 2008).

The Sporter was in all respects a deluxe rifle. While Winchester already had a reputation as the Cadillac of American

arms manufacturers, the 52 Sporter was produced with a degree of fit and finish appropriate to a custom gunsmith's

shop. Esquire magazine called it "the piece de resistance of all sporting rifles. It's a diamond in a field of chipped

glass-- the rifle for the connoisseur."[9]

Field & Stream named the 52 Sporter one of the "50 Best Guns Ever Made,"

calling it "unrivalled in beauty and accuracy."[10]

Understandably the Sporter represented only a small percentage of Model 52's produced between 1934 and its

discontinuation in 1959: it is today the most collectible of all 52 variants and a good Sporter will generally bringdouble or more the price of a comparable Target. (This market reality has unfortunately attracted forgers, and fake
