This Model 9422 features a forged blued steel receiver and a round 20.5-inch blued steel barrel, delivering the robust, period-correct construction Winchester is known for. It is the pre-XTR standard configuration from the 1970s era, manufactured in New Haven, Connecticut.
The rifle is equipped with factory iron sights: a hooded ramp front sight and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear leaf with an elevator. Ejection is through a right-side rectangular port, and it uses a standard-size lever loop with an external hammer.
Feeding is via a full-length under-barrel tubular magazine with a removable inner tube, a knurled end plug, and a loading port near the muzzle. Capacity is 15+1 rounds of .22 LR.
Furniture includes a straight-grip, smooth walnut buttstock and a smooth walnut forearm, paired with a checkered black buttplate bearing the Winchester emblem. The length of pull is 14.0 inches, offering a traditional fit.
The barrel is rollmarked: "WINCHESTER MODEL 9422 .22 S-L-LR • MADE IN NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A. • WINCHESTER PROOF STEEL." This matches its documented New Haven origin and 1977 production.
