My Mother's .22 was a Winchester Model 67 with the finger grooves like that. My first .22 was a later one with the fuller forearm. My Great Uncle who was a gunsmith in Seattle fitted a grip cap, an ebony forearm tip, checkered it to match a Model 70 Super-Grade, gave it a oil finish and fitted it with a Mossberg scope. I was pretty proud of it!! Unfortunately they were both stolen out of my Father's house in 1978 along with his AE-Grade 16-gauge Remington Hammerless Double serial number P136036.
