The Model 69’s early pre-69A configuration includes a cocks-on-closing bolt and a twist-type cocking-piece safety, delivering the handling characteristics associated with the original pattern. The detachable 5-round magazine supports a 5+1 capacity across .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle.
Sighting is set up around a receiver-mounted aperture/peep sight with a micrometer adjustment wheel and "U.S.A. PAT. PEND." marking. There is no rear sight installed on the barrel. Up front, a ramped base holds a dovetailed blade for a clean, practical sight picture.
The 25-inch steel barrel and blued steel receiver wear Winchester "WP" proofs on the barrel and receiver ring. The blued finish complements the rifle’s period-appropriate look and components.
The wood stock features a pistol-grip, straight comb, and uncheckered surfaces for a straightforward, utilitarian profile. A black checkered hard-rubber buttplate molded "WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO." completes the stock, and the length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
