My Grandpas .22

My Grandfathers Father purchased this little single shot .22 from the Eaton’s catalog when he was just 11 years old and he passed it down to me. It’s all I have to remember him.

[@garysorrells8133]

Those little rifles put an untold number of meals on the table over the last 100+ years.

[@Handyman-fw8ul]

bet that felt great, holding a piece of ur family's history, much love man.

[@spiersonfire5070]

Every time I see it I am flooded with good memories 😊

[@drsnooker1776]

Lovely little rifle, great seeing quality guns enjoyed by multiple generations.

[@thehunter3386]

Have my Dads…purchased late ‘30s early ‘40s. A picture of me at age 4, holding it…it was longer than I was tall! Lots of fond memories with that gun!

My grandpa has a similar single shot .22 and he wants me to have all his firearms when I’m old enough to own them, or when he isn’t able to anymore. Pretty sick stuff.

[@randomposts5642]

I have an old Remington single shot .22 that my dad got when he was 18, in 1943! It’s before serial numbers, but there are code letters stamped on the barrel that tell the year it was made.

[@jamieciotti5783]

Cool treasure. Thanks for sharing good memories.

[@marcavery4665]

My father has one like that. He's going to be 100 this year. He has had it since he was a pre-teen. Yours looks identical but has a store branding, his is a Springfield. A lovely little gun, keep it and cherish it.

[@toastedfish996]

My grandfather passed away and left me his old bolt action .22, it is a 22-67 from 1938.

[@kevincampbell3943]

I have my fathers 22.Looks to be the same as yours.He raised a calf and bought the rifle for 7.00 and gave the rest of the money to his mother.

[@robertwhitaker3858]

Most of my firearms I inherited from dead relatives. I think I may have bought 3, my first was a single shot .410 2 3/4” that literally has no marking one four digit number stamped in the forearm stock. Bought it when I was 12 at the local Western Auto store, walked out with ammunition as well. Because a firearm is just a expensive club without ammunition. Before the whole change of arms agreement paper work was instituted into law. We shot .22 ‘s on my junior high shooting team, and there were no school shooting. In high school every pickup in the parking lot had an easy rider rifle rack in the back window. With a shot gun or a deer rifle in it. And there were no school shootings. Hell we used to leave the front door unlocked. I wonder what this country will look like in the next 10 years.

[@Sigfofosauer]

There is something special about those old single shot .22's. In the early and mid 20th century here in my country, they used .22 lr to hunt deer and wild hogs to bring meat on the table. My first .22 lr rifle was a single shot bolt action. Good old nostalgic memories. Thanks for sharing.

[@spiersonfire5070]

Which country do you live in? You must’ve been a good shot to get a dear with a .22!

[@rambler2885]

I was wondering what county also just got a break open single .22-.410 for my daughter

[@Sigfofosauer]

@@rambler2885 @SPIERS ONFIRE. Costa Rica. A well placed .22 can be lethal. That humble little round shouldn't be underestimated. Of course, I'm talking about shorter distances. Less than 180 yards or so. That's a great gift for her. I hope she enjoys it for years to come. Blessings!

[@moorefacts6605]

My pop was given a Winchester 22 like this one in the 1930s. He spent a lot of time foraging around in the hills near Avenal, ca. In 1943 at the age of 18 he enlisted in the Army and after assignment to the 86th Inf. Div. took advanced basic training at Ft. Benning, Ga. He was awarded the Expert Infantry Badge. Subsequently he became a 1st Army Scout during his deployment in Germany and led his Division in combat in that capacity. My daughter who enjoys shooting now has the rifle.

[@182511419139208]

Grandpa's. 22 is always the best .22

[@dougbuck4043]

My dad had a similar firearm however, it came from Sears. I learned to shoot with it. One off my sons has it now. All the best.

[@shineystill191]

I have two of those. One someone modified and one in ok shape. Its nice to shoot. I hope one day I can pass it down another generation.

[@ianatkins1213]

Great memory. In Australia I started with a locally made (as far as I know, no firearms are manufactured here now), secondhand, single shot Lithgow .22.

[@coleparker]

My late Uncle had a Winchester .22 he was 8 or 10 years in the 1930s. It was passed down to my year younger brother who is 69 years. My brother takes it out and runs some rounds through it. He says it is still as accurate as all get out. It is a great heirloom.

[@xarmanis]

so beautyful and well crafted these rare old items are

[@WhattAreYouSaying]

Nice old 22.👍Take care of that one. I had one that was very similar, mine was a Husqvarna made in the 1920's or 30's. My father gave it to me when I was 7 years old. At that age I was trusted to be left alone with guns. It was a different time. A short time later I shot my first bird, a crow. Great memories.

[@quibus4375]

My own grandfather had the same rifle, fun little gun for sure!

[@tomsherwood4650]

I got a little German single shot from ca. 1920 that functions similar. The bore is very rough. Used to be you could get a rimfire bore relined but it seems that shops don't seem to want to do it anymore, or they want alot more than the little rifles are worth. Too bad.

[@winstonchurchill6506]

I have one similar to yours but it's a Springfield Stevens Model 52A or 53A. It can use .22LR, .22L or even .22 Short. Still yours is in nicer condition than mine and will make a worthy heirloom for your grandkids. ^_^

[@garrettelliott2565]

Regardless of what tyrannical law is put in place never give up your firearms. Especially family heirlooms like this treasure!

[@vermilion1484]

I totally agree, and always remember that the first thing dictators do when they come to power is to take away the guns from the people Which is ironic, cuz the same people who live bitching about police brutality and fascism are the sames who tell u that only the police and the army should have guns...

[@mariocestra1156]

As an Australian who needs a licence for an air rifle, I agree. Fuck the govt for taking our guns.

[@clintonlamar1503]

I have an old cooey .22 LR. I couldn't find a scope mount. Very different in style. I then found a video that said it was either built but Winchester or Remington. Been so long I don't remember. But sure enough, looked it up, found parts and still use it for squirrels and gophers.

[@rileyhinkle6169]

Yup you can tell by the bolt and the action that it’s clearly a cooey

My dad bought me a Ranger (Cooey type) single shot .22 when I was 12 years old. That was over sixty years ago. I still have the firearm and it's it great shape. I still enjoy firing it at the outdoor range near my southwestern Ontario town.

[@outinthesticks1035]

It would have been made by cooey , a friend had one that was identical to my cooeys . Would have been one of a large order from a retailer who wanted their own name , but cannot tell you who that was . I would be sure the one in the vid is a cooey , but never seen one with that particular stock

[@justacentrist4147]

​@out in the sticks the Ranger name was another brand made for eatons. The eatonia the rifle in the vid is a cooey ace ( produced from 1929-1934). Cooeys branded with Sure Shot were made for Sears, canada. There were also others but i cant remember them off the top of my head

[@firstnamelastname-qg3jt]

That’s a cool little rifle you have there

[@justacentrist4147]

That right there is a canadian cooey ACE (the ace model was produced from 1929-1934). Cooey re-branded the ace as the eatonia for eatons as well as other models under different names for eatons,they re-branded their guns for other companies as well. cooey started the production of rifles in 1919

[@DWeezy62]

I have an old Stevens / Springfield model 15 single-shot .22 rifle made in the 1930s. I also have a Marlin model 101 microgroove single-shot .22 rifle. Both of them are very accurate fine shooting rifles. I couldn't begin to tell you how many squirrels I have taken with these two firearms. Those old single-shots were built to last.

Hello just a centrist. Thanks for the information. I never knew that Ranger was associated with Eatons. I do remember going, as a child, to Eatons in downtown Toronto at Christmas. To get to Toy Town, you passed Sporting Goods. There were (literally) barrels of surplus Enfield .303 rifles. Price? $15. Now, at Landsborough Auctions, they're going for over $500, with some over $1,000. I used to fire Enfields when I was in Army Cadets at Riverdale Collegiate in Toronto. We'd fire trainers (.22) at the indoor range. In spring, we'd go to the outdoor military range at Winona, near St. Catherines and fire "the real deal." .303. It was the one time I had the opportunity to fire a Bren. Beautiful firearm. Great memories.
