Another fantastic purchase!

[@crankygunreviews]

I think so too!

[@mikenadler7118]

I have one of these. I received it in 1959. The stock was cracked just behind the hand grip which I repaired. I recently found a new, unfinished, stock for it for about $40. It has never mis-fired and always been accurate. Mine has the original peep rear sight and multiple flip up front sights. I'll wait to see your finished (refinished) project.

@@mikenadler7118 cool that you got yours so long ago! They’re remarkably simple and well built

My uncle had one of these when I was younger, it was a decent rifle. Cool find , excited to see your finished project. Sucks how KZbin is nowadays

[@crankygunreviews]

@@JG-xt9io well, I could try to see what I can get away with, but I have a lot of content I don’t want to lose. Been posting all my stuff on Rumble too, but only last 140 videos or so.

Big knob for a 22

[@crankygunreviews]

@@BuckeyeBallistics well, it was a training rifle for the US military so I’m not sure what it was patterned after, but supposed to feel like a bigger caliber

A good rifle but I could just never get past the cheap looking/feeling plastic finger groove trigger guard.

[@crankygunreviews]

I actually like them. Pretty cool having moulded plastic In the 1940’s

@@crankygunreviews If you like it that’s all that matters.

[@crankygunreviews]

True

[@cfranklin7450]

Do you know how to take the bolts apart? Mine is fithly, but I dont see how it comes apart.

[@crankygunreviews]

@@cfranklin7450 the end screws off- where the firing pin comes through

[@cfranklin7450]
