Opinion on 52D on Gunbroker-response quick

[OneFunGuy]

Hi,
I have a wonderful Winchester 52C.
I have always wanted a 52D and 52E.

This one is stripped and a little beat up but I can fix her up as I go along.
Give me your thoughts.
I just wrote the seller, to ask muzzle diameter,
but no reply yet. I really want only the fat barrels, otherwise
not really worth the investment ... as I see it anyway.

Can't tell from the pictures, but it is definitely either the standard target barrel or the bull/heavy target barrel<g>. Here are the various barrel options that were available:

Standard Target: 28", 1" at the receiver tapering to .75"
Heavy Target (optional 1927-1961): 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.
Model D Heavy Target (optional from 1961): 28", 1.0625" at the receiver tapering to .875"

If you are interested in a 52D CMP gun with bull barrel that is local to Norcal send me a PM.
