How far back do you want to go? Attached File Attached File Attached File Hopkins & Allen Junior Repeating Rifle. 16 shot tube-fed take-down bolt gun. Started production in 1907, and apparently only made them for about two years. Was gifted to me by a good friend, had been in his family for four generations, but neither him or his kids are interested in firearms. Having some problems getting it to feed correctly, but otherwise a neat rifle to shoot. |

Attached File Matlin Model 60, ‘89 vintage, last of the 22” barrel/ 18 round tube. The scope is a vintage 2x Bushnell Banner. Swiped it for $100 at an estate sale because it needed a new recoil spring. Those that have broken down a 60 will know why. |

Anyone got a Walther model 1? I've only ever seen one of them, sadly if was an illegal SBS. Some guy walked into a pawn shop while I was there and wanted them to put it back together. He called it a Nazi hideout gun and said his dad broughg it back from the war. Whether that was true or not, it was very nicely shortened to handgun length, recrowned and a smaller buttplate fitted to the shortened stock. It was similar to a Beretta Olympia. Spring loaded bolt action. Leave the handle up and it's a semiauto. Flup it down and it's a standard turnbolt. |

I passed on what I think was a BSA Martini conversion about 25 years ago. Heavy barrel. It was nicely balanced for how heavy it was. The barrel seemed like it was 3 inches thick! I think it was about 350 bucks. I passed and am sad about it. I have never seen one since. |

BL-22 Like it way better than my 39A and I converted it into a break down. https://i.imgur.com/oJxzHG5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ZhwtzBZ.jpg I’m interested in learning more about the takedown BL22. Who did the work? Looks like a well thought out design. |

I need to find a blank Mark III extractor and make a proper, new extractor for it. As it is, the one I have works well enough for now. ...and it shoots like this, so I really do want to get it to 100 percent:  That is 15 rounds at 25 yards with no glasses. ( I need glasses...but can't find a good scrip for shooting ) |

Cool! Ironic thread for me, as I just today rediscovered a couple that i inherited from my beloved Great Uncle. One is a .22 Henry lever action, and the other is a Remington model 41 Targetmaster. I don't ever shoot .22LR, so I was just pondering how I can either sell em on consignment or just sell em outright to an LGS. The Targetmaster seems to be ancient, and from what they say on the interwebz a single shot.

They are super interesting actually. They have tubular magazines, but it is in the buttstock. You load through a little port. The rifle came in 22LR (way more common) and then the rarer 22S variant that mine is. Capacity of the magazine is 10 22LR or 15 22S. All of them are bottom eject, and all are take down as well. They also made a slightly larger version, called the 241, and Browning still makes a slightly larger yet version called the SA-22. All same action, just furniture was pared down a bunch on the Model 24. This is not mine, but mine is indistinguishable from this here. Mine also has the very rare and sought after shell deflector, which prevents those spent cases from going down your shirt sleeve.

My Mossberg 46 M-B not the original, it got stolen but it's the same model rifle my dad had when he first taught me to shoot. Took me years to find one in decent shape. Paid a premium for it & I rescued it from CA before they banned, confiscated and crushed it. Attached File |
How come every time there is a shooting, they want to take away the guns from the people who didn't do it?

I read this thread a day or two ago and it manifested a Remington 341 circa 1936 and a savage 20g pump model 67f both in great shape for free. a friends mother in law is moving to a independent living place and they were moving the small stuff over to the new place and the rifles were unwanted by my friend who isn’t anti gun but doesn’t give a rat ass about them, his son ( who I consider a nephew ) doesn’t care about them either so I got them. shame really the 22 was probably purchased by friends son great grandfather around the time of his grandfathers birth and they don’t care the first thing about it |
