GOOD LUCK TO AL
WINCHESTER MODEL 43 .218 BEE BOLT-ACTION RIFLE — CIRCA 1951 — SERIAL #37323A — DETACHABLE MAGAZINE
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The Winchester Model 43 was introduced in 1949 as a lightweight centerfire sporting and varmint rifle and was produced in relatively limited numbers. Approximately 62,600 Model 43 rifles were manufactured across all chamberings. Collector survey data indicates roughly 45% of surviving surveyed examples are chambered in .218 Bee, suggesting approximately 28,000 rifles may have originally been produced in this chambering. Serial #37323A is consistent with approximately 1951 production. The combination of the classic Winchester bolt-action design, scarce .218 Bee chambering and limited overall production makes the Model 43 increasingly desirable to Winchester collectors.

All purchases of firearms and ammunition require a valid Firearms Possession & Acquisition License (PAL). Shipments of non-restricted firearms are authorized only after the item is paid in full, PAL is verified, shipping charges are paid in full, and a reference number is given from the CFO.
It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to know if they have the correct level of PAL holder for their intended purchase. We will not issue refunds and/or do exchanges for errors if the bidder/purchaser fails to provide proper documentation for their purchase and/or fails to purchase an item they cannot legally own.
Bidders will require a valid PAL for all purchases of non-restricted, restricted, prohibited category firearms and ammunition and reloading components.
PAL info we need: full correct name as shown on your PAL, PAL number, date of birth, and the email address associated with your RCMP portal login, and the mailing address that is associated with your PAL.
Failure to provide valid PAL can result in the item being sold at the next available opportunity, and applicable commission and administrative fees will be applied to your credit card. This can also mean: if you’re unable to submit your documentation to us within the specified timeline, your order may be delayed its processing and shipment, you may be charged storage fees and administrative fees, and/or your item may be resold at the next opportunity, and you will be charged applicable commission fees.
PAL REFERENCE NUMBER REQUEST AND PROCESS
When buying a firearm or ammo we’ll need to obtain a reference number from the RCMP to validate your license before we ship it to you or start the transfer. This reference number is valid for 90 days from the date it is initiated and is solely for the seller (Gunsmith Canada) and the buyer (you).
To obtain a PAL reference number request, you must provide us with the following information: Full correct name as shown on your PAL, PAL number, date of birth, and the email address associated with your RCMP portal login, and the mailing address that is associated with your PAL.
It is mandatory that the bidder’s shipping address for all firearms and ammunition purchases corresponds to the bidder's address on file with the CFO, and this address should also match the one used during registration for this auction.
Firearms and ammunition cannot be shipped together. In such cases if firearms and ammunition are won/purchased by the same bidder/purchaser, the bidder/purchaser will be required to pay shipping for each separate package.
Shipment of restricted and prohibited firearms is only authorized once the transfer has been approved. Firearms transfer will start when the firearm is paid for in full (not including shipping).
If you’re buying ammo, make sure there is a UPS or Purolator depot near/in your community. UPS and Purolator have multiple restricted zones across Canada that include many rural areas. Check with your local area before you bid or contact us for assistance at gunsmithcanada@gmail.com in determining if we can ship to your postal code BEFORE the auction begins. We will not refund and/or exchange your purchase if the item was undeliverable to your address due to your postal code being in a restricted zone. In such cases, your credit card will also be charged for the applicable return delivery, handling, and administrative fees.
