Allow me to sing the praises of the Romanian M69 training rifle. They look like a standard Mauser K98 that was put in the dryer and shrunk. They are ugly and the stocks look like they were made from matchwood. They are also surprisingly accurate and very quiet with subsonic ammo. Purchased two for $100 at a gun show ages ago more as a curiosity and now they are my go-to rifles for dealing with things like squirrels and other pests here on the farm. I have older Weaver steel-tube K4 scopes on both.

Used to see these sold from the packing crates at all the local shows but haven't seen one in ages.

My kid really wants an old 22 a friend of mine let him shoot.

It was a Stevens 1915 Boys Rifle or something like that, pretty cool.

The victors had issue with high velocity rounds and an area on the frame above the magazine where it would crack. Something to check on when buying used.

Small detractor and maybe to the brand but both good.

A lot of high standard's rimfire pistols had problems with frames cracking, unfortunately. My college's pistol range has several boxes full of cracked frame High Standards that had only ever seen standard velocity ammo but were used a rental guns for students to use (so high round count). The cracked frame guns were stripped for parts to keep the other guns running, when I left there was only one functional high standard left that was no longer rented out and kept as part of the range history. There were 20 something cracked frame guns stripped bare that were going to eventually be demilled. The pistol rental fleet was replaced with Ruger MKII and III pistols that didn't have frame cracking issues (had to keep firing pins and extractors on hand though, as those broke plenty).

The same range also had S&W 41s that were used for the competitive team, and they didn't have any issues at all though they didn't have nearly the same round count so not a particularly fair comparison. The 41s were rarely used, as most of the competitive team used Hammerlis and Walther GSPs.

I had to look this up and it seems dumb as hell. No vectoring bolt, so just a bulk of plastic for a typical straight blowback.

Yep not a very practical gun. But it’s a head turner at the range

Couple more.

American 180 by EL Mfg. and an AutoOrdnance Thompson 22



Colt Diamondbacks in the three barrel lengths. The 2” is seldom seen.



Trio of Walthers, P38, PP, PPK

While I’m on a roll, some old Remington Nylon .22’s.



A couple of older and somewhat unusual Smith & Wessons.

A .22 nickel Escort, as I bought it with old ammo, box, etc. the revolver is a Model 45 Smith .22, sometimes called the “post office” model. Basically a model 10 in .22.

Love that Green K-Mart Nylon.  These were around about the same time as Walmart's green laminate and stainless 10/22s.  That was the dead end of Nylon 66 production.  I would love to have a tube fed one but I don't know if they made the green ones in tube fed.

Never seen a green tube fed version.

The 1915 was the last Stevens favorite model.

I still want a Springfield 1922 or a Winchester winder musket but doubt I buy one.

Random examples online.

I picked up this old Winchester 02 today.  My grandfather taught my sister and I, and probably our cousins, how to shoot with a gun just like this.  It wasn’t in his collection when he passed, and none of the rest of the family knows where it went, so I assume he sold it off many years ago.  I’ve been looking for one ever since. This is the only other one I’ve seen in the wild, so I couldn’t bring myself to leave it sitting on the gun store shelf. Brings back some great memories.

My first 22 rifle was a Winchester 190. My parents bought me for Christmas back in the 70s.Wish I knew how many rounds I fired through that rifle!

It's so worn out you can hold the receiver and move the barrel back and forth. I have no idea how to fix it. I've put off throwing it in the trash because of all the fond memories of using it.

Don't tell anyone but killed my first deer with that rifle

This video should help you get that 190 operational again!  Loose barrel nut is a fairly common problem.

Those model 45’s are pretty rare. Wish I could find one ( prices are very high ) never seen one in person, only on auction sites.

This followed me home from the Tulsa Gun Show.  Hopkins and Allen 722.  They were produced from 1903 to 1915.
