- Winchester Model 9422M .22 WMR lever-action rifle
The barrel rollmark reads: "WINCHESTER MODEL 9422M .22 WIN MAGNUM • MADE IN NEW HAVEN, CONN., U.S.A. • WINCHESTER PROOF STEEL." This confirms New Haven manufacture and the use of Winchester Proof Steel, aligning with the model’s well-regarded .22 Magnum chambering.
Feeding is via an under-barrel tubular magazine with a removable inner tube and knurled plug, providing 11+1 capacity in .22 WMR. Dual barrel/magazine bands secure the assembly for a classic, robust rimfire lever-action profile.
The rifle is outfitted with traditional iron sights: a hooded ramp front and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear. The length of pull measures 13.5 inches, and the blued steel receiver and barrel pair with a straight-grip hardwood stock and forend featuring factory checkering. A hard rubber buttplate with the Winchester logo completes the stock setup.
As is factory practice on this model, the serial number is duplicated on both receiver halves. This example reflects its United States production with materials and markings consistent with 1990-era New Haven manufacture.
