Show off your "old school " .22s.

I'll have to throw up some pics of my Rem 513S....

[Vin63]

Sentimental favorite rifle in my collection. This Remington 511 Scoremaster (~1948) was handed down to me in 1973 by my uncle, who bought it new. I killed more soup and soda cans with this rifle...best memories I have from when I was a kid.

Not sure where "old School leaves off and Vintage begins but this is what I have:

Sentinal



H&R Sportsman (still NIB)



S&W M 651 22mag/22lr



Nylon 66



Nylon 66 Clone



20 yo Ruger 10/22 (unfiired in 19 years)



Stevens



Mossberg M44 from CMP Mossberg rear sight



Mossberg M44 from CMP Lyman rear sight



The Mossbergs were the best $75 (ea) purchase I ever made from CMP, bought 5 sold 3 shoulda bought more!

Would love to get a Stevens Crackshot.

I agree,CMP sent me a literally brand new M44 with the mossy sights,and another LNIB with the lyman sights.As well as a nib M12...still have the m44 w/mossy sights(like them better) and the M12...the ly sight was sold to my longtime shooting buddy for what I paid for it....payback for the $800 preban
M1A he sold me. You have some nice 22s there my man.

Thanks beerman,, this is one of the best threads we've had on the Forum. I think ALL of the photos show some REALLY REALLY very nice firearms! I kept these two M44's so I'd have a "sample" of the 2 different sights, never have shot the Lyman sights only the Mossy one.

Now lets describe some unusual or unique features of some of these? (I'm sure there are many so let's hear your opinions!)

The Stevens 87, because it is tube fed and both single shot and semiauto?

Push the bolt handle in and you have to hand cycle it, pull it out and it is semiauto. I've never seen another with this capability, and why did they develope it that way I wonder?

Still can't get over all the great photos and stories members have posted, thanks to ALL for sharing. Hoping for more to showup!

I forgot to give you kudos for the Nylon 66s too...your apache black is the gun I learned to shoot with,back in 1963..Yes I still have it too. Awesome that you have 2 of the 3 colors.

Nice. Those Belgian rifles were so popular they were copied as were the Remington Nylon 66's.

Nice thread, glad I'm not the only one who appreciates these "Classic" rimfires.
Couple more here -

Marlin 39A Golden


Browning AS-22 take-down


S&W Model 17-4


S&W Model 63

I'd like to find a Remington Nylon 66 in the same condition as my Browning and the seller didn't think he had the only one ever made I'd buy it, I really like those.

NICE group! Especially like the M63. I bought my M651 back in the 1980's when I had a 01 FFL, had a M 650 to go with it, dummy me I sold the M 650 to a customer and didn't restock!

[Milsurp Collector]

Just got this at a pawn shop yesterday ($320 + $10 for the instant background check). Probably from the 1960s. Manurhin made PP and PPK pistols in France under license from Walther while West Germany was barred from arms production. Manurhin also supplied parts for Walther to finish, assemble, and proof fire as Walther PP and PPK pistols until the 1980s.

[aghauler]

Nice pistol! Nice to have instant backround checks also!

Is that mag grip extention a factory item or was it a home made improvement to the short grip?

Congrats on the new score!

Thanks. That's the Extension Magazine version that is factory original.



There is a large post sticking from the bottom of the magazine well that goes into a socket in the rear of the magazine. You can see the socket in this magazine for sale on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-WAL...item3f25cb90c1

Here's a similar Manurhin PP in .32 ACP http://www.gunauction.com/buy/119257...ox-mag.c-and-r
