Old 10/22?

[Cessnapilot89]

Where is the best place to find and old 10/22, 1980s or older? just looking for one to go with my 1977 Ruger 44 Carbine and and 1978 Mini 14.

If I were looking I would check the Calguns marketplace, Gunbroker and Rimfirecentral.com. Consider placing WTB ads on Calguns and Rimfirecentral. I also read posts about pawnshops being good sources of vintage rifles.

I've got one from '68 but it's not for sale, and if it was, it would be very expensive. I found mine in a pawn shop in a little town in Alabama. I don't think they knew what they had. It was $125 out the door, and only had a few light dents on the stock. 50 year old gun that looked like it had been in a closet most of its life.

I have one from 1983 that was never fired and i am kind of hanging on to it. The owner even had the banana clip with it that was still in the package. Bought a luger style Ruger pistol from the same person who never fired it. Just bought them and left them in the closet.

Sounds like the way my 44 mag carbine was. Thing is clean and fun to shoot! Just picked up a super clean Mini 14 to go with it, and after Ruger has treated me fairly well, I want to add another ruger to the collection.

Pawn shops.

The more remote location the better.

I found my '74 vintage at the Ventura gun show for $110. All metal and walnut, pre warning. Surprised a collector didn't recognize it, it sat on the table till almost closing time.

I just picked up a 1972 Ruger 10/22 rifle. The rifle has many cosmetic issues and the barrel has a crack. However the action and bolt are very solid and function. I plan on customizing this to make it a precision shooter.
Being that it is a 1972 rifle, will the more modern kidd barrels, kidd trigger and new stock still marry up to the receiver?

I picked one up for $125 at a pawn shop in Riverside. It had a ATI Dragonov stock on it but so what. The date code is 6/70.

Basically, look everywhere.
