Quoted: Full auto 10/22. never shot one, but shooting a full auto m16 with a 22 upper is hands down my favorite FA adventure. You could literally write your name. Lots of reloads but damn it's fun. View Quote @steviesterno16, you should have hit me up while you were still in Coppell, we could have taken my Norrell 10/22 out to the range... (or my M16/RDIAS with KPF upper or LM7 belt-fed upper... or my MP5 with S&H .22lr rimfire conversion... or my 1928 TSMG with rimfire conversion... or my Vector Uzi with rimfire conversion... I cannot recall whether I still have a conversion for my M11/9 or HK53 any longer... you get the point!) |

I have a few of my .22lr rimfire 'grail guns':
"U.S. Property"-marked military trainers, such as the Remington 513T Matchmaster and my two Harrington & Richardson (H&R) MC-58 Model 65 Modified (USMC .22lr trainer for Reising, with fire controls and safety similar to M1 Garand) |

The one that got away, my grandfather's old Marlin Model 39D with the Weaver K4 mounted on it.
The runner up is the Savage MKII FV I should've bought in 2005. I picked up a Marlin 980V instead, but I've always felt an odd twinge of regret that I never picked up the Savage. |

Winchester 9422 in .22LR with a straight grip checkered walnut stock. I see them locally in .22WMR occasionally, but the .22LR seems to be a unicorn. May have to go the Gunbroker route, but prices on them are getting up there.

My 1965 Marlin 39 Mountie is/was my grail gun.
I got it a couple years ago for $500 and I probably wouldn't take $5,000 for it |

A LH CZ 452 in 22lr. I missed the boat on buying these new by about 6 months and it looks like the ones that pop up for sale on GB are to rich for my blood. I have a .17HMr version to get me by but really want the 22.

Quoted: Does the American 180, .22 LR Sub Machine Gun count? View Quote Old post I know, but having had an American 180, it was nowhere near as much fun as one might think. An open bolt gun, using rimmed cartridges, running at what, 1200 RPM? The issue was reliability (don't think I ever got it thru a full 177 round drum w/o having to clear stopages), and the fact that the ejection is straight down and the gun had the propensity to fire OOB from time to time--the brass shards and gas would head down towards your left forearm if you didn't remember to keep your elbow extended. A cool idea, and when it ran, it was an amazing bullet hose. Mine had black plastics, unlike the one shown a few posts back. I'd much rather have a .22 upper on an M16 lower. |

East German full auto .22 AK trainer, next would be one of the polish mosin .22 trainers I missed years ago.

My grail 22lr doesnt exist
Specs: Lever action, like 1892 Side loading gate Polished high luster bluing No dogshit trash aluminum anywhere in it. Steel and wood only Threaded muzzle I’d literally pay $1500-2k for this, and no one has ever made one. I just want a quality lever 22lr that wont wear out ever, and be passed down thru 2-3more generations. Why is quality so damn hard to get with 22lr. |

Quoted: Mine is not a rifle, but a pistol.... As a kid I drooled over a Ruger Mark I pistol - knew my mama would not let me have it at the time. I scratched the itch with a Ruger Mark II Stainless bull barrel. I still want one the standard barrel model - guess I should pick up a Standard barrel in a Mark II - that way all my mags and the loader would cross over. For a rifle - prob one of the Remington 500 series bolt actions like the 512. Thank you for the thread there OP Red View Quote Me too. Off to research Mark 1 prices. |

Quoted: Not sure I've ever seen a side loading gate .22; wouldn't that potentially deform the projectile and/or risk detonating the priming compound? Otherwise it just sounds like a Marlin 39 with a threaded barrel and maybe a quality refinish. View Quote Marlin 1891. Yes, it was bad on bullets. |

Quoted: Marlin 1891. Yes, it was bad on bullets. View Quote Weird to think that in 130 years, we cant possibly figure out how to not deform heeled bullets in a side loading gate. Its not a terribly difficult idea. Light gate tension, light spring tension, minimal lateral loading, and receiver thinning in that area. Or we’re just retarded as fuck and engineers cant possibly solve this problem. We can put a remote control robot on a distant planet, but we cant figure out how to prevent bullets from deforming. |

American 180 would be my only one, if I could only have one....

High Standard made some nice semi auto rifles in the 1950s, accurate and IIRC would cycle on shorts, longs and long rifles.
Most of them sold by Sears as J. C. Higgins, like this retractable sling model 30. |

Quoted: Personally I think you would be better off with a standard 452 american and having it cut down/threaded. I never liked the factory version because they need a thread adapter and have a mismatched finish between the receiver and barrel. Either that or just get a 457. That is on my list. My ideal being a 39D So this doesn't really fit in with the other rifles listed but my dream 22 rifle is a 10/22 with an integrally suppressed barrel. No, you're not likely going to find one sitting in a rack somewhere and no, its not as high end or rare or accurate as some other options but I've still wanted one for a long time now. Well a couple of months ago I found a really nice deal on a Gemtech Mist so my dream will finally become a reality! Unfortunately it will still be several months before it gets out of jail. Now if I could just find a deal on a Norrell full auto trigger! View Quote They all didn’t. I have two threaded 16” CZ452 Americans. The CZ452 2E ZKM’s have a blued receiver and barrel.

Unsure what the stock number was on that one since I bought it used, with rings and 12 - 10rnd mags for $250 about 6 years ago from the owner of a shop in AZ that got robbed. He was selling personal firearms to fund inventory and keep the business going. Stole that one. |

For me a Remington 40x, or a newer version the voodoo v22. Probably won't drop the coin on the voodoo but bergara makes a close copy now as well.
I don't hunt and really would like one as a training rifle for my other r700s |

I own a LOT of .22LR plinkers but someday I want to acquire a big and heavy “chunk gun” for benchrest shooting and set it up so I can put rounds of Eley Match repeatably through the same hole at 25 yards. During that 10 minutes between shots, while I let that barrel cool, I’ll sit back with my cronies and make observations about all those young fellers “wasting” ammunition with mag dumps and not able to keep it in the black

Looks like the one you posted has nicer then average wood too but my point remains as that is not the norm, most of them have the mismatched finish. No, not a big deal for a lot of people but It's something that would bother an OCD person like me. |
