It fires fron an open bolt, you don't have to re-cock it, just reload it. The idea never realy took hold.[:0]

About 2 1/2 hours left, last time I looked it was at $145.00, anything less that $275-$300 is a great buy.

The Model 55# and the Model 59# were both used twice. The Winchester 59 could be their fiberglass barreled shotgun or a single shot bolt action .22 made in 1930 only.

I received a Model 55 as my first firearm (first gun was a Daisy Model 75) on my 13th birthday in 1961. At that time the price was between $15&$20. I shot it for years in Western Oregon/Washington with the only disagreeable feature being if held at the balance point and fired, the bottom ejection put a hold case and powder in your hand. Some years later I was in some cold (10 degree) weather and it had misfires due to thickened oil. Since that time there have been advances in lubrication/rust protection so that cold is no longer an issue. For what it is, it's a very reliable rifle.
