This is the only ammunition available that fits my grandfather's Winchester Model 1903 carbine. I had not been able to shoot the 1903 for more than 25 years because ammunition simply didn't exist. Not only does this allow me to shoot my rifle and remember being with my grandfather, it's also extremely accurate. Even with open sights and my aging eyes, it shoots much better than a couple of other .22 rifles I have. I wish the price could be a bit lower but, when there is no other source -- anywhere -- I' just happy to get it.

These things are sweet. They feed and shoot just like a 22 should. Last batch I purchased was great for squirrel and rabbit season and put the meat on the table as well as any 22/LR could do. Had to get more for next years hunts.

I had inherited my grandfather's Winchester Model 1903, but I had no ammunition for it so I couldn't shoot it. When Lucky Gunner had some, I grabbed a few boxes just to see if the rifle still shoots.
It does. And the special .22WAR from Lucky Gunner was far more accurate than whatever .22LR I fired through a Taurus Model 63 for comparison. My only complaint is the price, but with prices climbing on even .22LR maybe it's just that I'm old enough to rememebr when shooting a twenty-two was affordable.

please send e-mails to the people who produce these bullets and let them know how great it is that they are helping bring together multiple generations of family members (3rd generation with our gun). without their product, the old gun wouldn't be fired. shooting that old and fantastic gun is great. I hope they continue to keep making these bullets. thanks again

I was surfing Your Site and stumbled across this listing. I could not believe what I saw, I've had a 1903 for 25 years. I've been hoarding the last Two Boxes of original Ammo, affraid to use it up. Thanks to You My Kids can enjoy this wonderful Rifle as if it were a modern .22. Like the saying "They dont make em like that anymore" (2) Boxes of Ammo functioned as expected cycling with no issues, thanks for reminding Me I need to purchase more.

I love to collect the old rifles and find it a challenge to hunt down the old ammo to make them bark again. I've only been able to find one box of this stuff until now. My old 1903 sends these babies down range with the accuracy that Winchester intended them to have. And at the price you charged, i was able to get enough to go hunting with it, as well as target shooting. Thanks for great service on an outstanding product. I'll be back for more.

I found my Winchester in an old closet in a house I was tearing down. When I looked at the serial nos. it 03, 04, etc; I thought it was a new model automatic rifle that I was not familiar with. When I tried to put a 22 long in the chamber it would not eject. I took it to a gun smith to see if the eject mechanism was wore out. That is when he told me I had a 1903 Winchester Auto and it took a special shell and he didn't think they made them any more. I got on the internet and found two sites that sold rounds that I needed. The first one was priced higher than Lucky Gunnery. By ordering from Lucky Gunnery I save enough to Pay shipping and handling. Lucky Gunnery shipped quickly and delivered a quality product. Thanks Lucky Gunnery. Will recommend you any time.

I inherited this rifle from my Grand Mother - I am 70. She owned it as a teenager and it was handed over to my Mother who passed it on to me. Actually I bought it from my younger brother because he couldn't find any ammo for it and I wanted it as an heirloom. The rifle is in great shape with most of its bluing in very good condition and the wood stock as well. I have shot about 20 of these rounds and they work great great and, just like said in another comment, this rifle is very accurate with the ghost ring back sight. At 50 yards the front site covers the target and I get a close group just ot the right of the bulls eye. I have 2 fairly new .22s and this old Winchester is more accurate and, for some reason, it is more quiet. Very happy!

Burns clean, cycles perfect, very accurate. The 03 Winchester is a tack driver and Aguila ammo only helps. A rep from Aguila told me they are still producing this ammo with no immediate plans to stop, so please keep buying it and encouraging Aguila to continue manufacturing an excellent round for one of the best rimfire firearms ever made. Send them emails.

Thank you for this ammo. I gave it to my Dad on his 80th birthday, allowing him to once again shoot his 1st rifle, the Model 1903 Winchester Auto. He never thought he would get to shoot it again. We shot a box full and performace was excellent. Delivery was as promised. It was expensive, but the look on Dads face was priceless. Thanks.

Q: Will 22 Winchester Automatic - 45 gr LRN - Aguila - 50 Rounds - (Model 1903 Rifle Only!) work in a Remington pump requiring .22 WRF such as CCI .22WRF (Remington Special)?
Thanks
Posted On: 8/29/14
By: Robert
A: Hello Robert,
These .22 Winchester Automatic rounds will only chamber in a rifle chambered in .22 Winchester Auto. If your rifle is chambered in .22 WRF, you will need .22 WRF rounds for it.
Q: Does a 1903 Winchester automatic 22 shoot wsm ammunition
Posted On: 8/11/14
By: Gina
A: Hello Gina,
The Winchester Model 1903 will only chamber and fire the .22 Win Auto round. You cannot fire any other caliber ammo in that gun. The 45gr. LRN rounds by Aguila in .22 Win Auto are excellent rounds for that gun.
Q: I have a 1890 winchester pump .22 the barrel shows .22 WRF .45gr bullet only. Will they work in my rifle?
Thanks Dennis
Posted On: 2/2/14
By: Dennis
A: Hello Dennis,
Unfortunately, the .22 Win Auto rounds can only be fired in a Winchester 1903 rifle and not your 1890 Winchester pump. You would need .22 WRF ammo for your rifle.
