Win. 69A owner's manual - The Firearms Forum

kmw67 · 12-14-2011, 12:42 PM

A friend gave me a completely disassembled 69A - he found it in a barn rusting away. He thought he would clean it up, but he never got to it & passed it to me. I now have it cleaned up, but have no idea what goes where. I am sure I could figure it out, but it would ease my mind if I had a manual to follow, just to be sure. I checked Winchesters website, but since being bought out, it doesn't offer a lot as far as older items go. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would be happy with a scanned copy in .pdf format, if anyone wants to take the time. Just the diagram would be great! Thanks to any and all who respond.

Welcome kmw 67! I dont mean to hijack your thread but seein as your question has been addressed I just want to ask a question. Anyone know the difference between the Mod.69a and the Mod. 69?

69A bolt cocks on opening, 69 cocks on closing.
69A has a sliding safety
69A does not have the big honking cocking knob
69A does not have a tapered barrel.
69A has a slightly adjustable trigger.

The 69A also has an 'A.'

Thanks Stone. I have the Mod 69 and was wondering the differences. BTW, No ser#s so do you know approx. how old this thing is?

According to my Gun Trader's Guide, the model 69 was made from 1935-1937, the 69A was made from 1937-1963.

My dad and I were just looking at this info the other day. He has a 69A that belonged to my grandfather, and it will be handed down to my son, as soon as he can actuate the safety.

Jim Wood's book on assembly/disassimbly of rimfires covers this. It is one of the Gun Digest guides.
