Made in 1975, this pre-XTR Model 9422 is configured as a standard carbine with a round 20.5 inch blued barrel and a carbine barrel band. The barrel carries the "Winchester Proof Steel" legend and the rifle was produced at Winchester’s New Haven facility.
Feeding is via an under-barrel tubular magazine with a removable inner tube that loads from the muzzle end. Capacity varies by cartridge length, with approximately 15+1 in .22 LR. Ejection is to the right side.
Sights are classic and practical: a hooded ramp front sight paired with an elevation-adjustable semi-buckhorn rear leaf. The action is lever-operated with an exposed hammer, and the rifle wears a blued steel receiver for a consistent finish profile.
The stock is walnut with a straight grip and smooth, uncheckered surfaces. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches, providing a comfortable, traditional fit on this full-size rimfire lever gun.
