Step 1: Determine the Model of firearm
There are essentially seven models of the Winchester 54, with 10 caliber and two style variations within those models. One type of Model 54 has a 20" barrel with a checkered pistol-grip stock, metal buttplate, with a checkered forearm, and solid frame. A second type has a 24" barrel with a checkered pistol-grip stock, metal buttplate, with a checkered forearm, and solid frame. Both Models were made specifically to shoot one of 10 types of ammunition. A third type has a 26" barrel with a plain pistol-grip stock, metal buttplate, with a smooth forearm, and solid frame. All Model 54 rifles have a non-detachable box magazine.
