Something about them.
I really like the mid 1930's to late 1940's Remingtons. Have a nice tube fed Nov 1934 Model 34 and added this one. May 1946 510 Targetmaster recently from a local Cabelas. Single shot, great patina and stock, not refinished - shoots great! Share what old school ones you like.  Attached File Attached File |

I think that's what the Greenfield Rifle Club had for the kids (raises hand) to shoot while learning 4-position gallery. The Swiss Rifle Club had better stuff, but beggars can't be choosers. Accurate enough to clean prone, sitting, sometimes kneeling, and not totally embarrass myself offhand. I don't think it was Win 52s, though I vaguely remember some of the adults with one. The older gentleman who took us, had some 70s Anschutz. Definitely a lot of higher shelves in the toy store... |

I have one of these, a Remington Model 37. Mine was made in 1937, the first year of production.
I have the factory sights, as shown below, but also have a 10X Lyman SuperTargetSpot for it. It is a real rifle, all-machined, blued steel and walnut. There's no sheet metal or plastic. It might be my favorite rifle.   (Please pardon my using a modern bipod.) |

sorry about the potato pic. It had a dirty lens. Here's my Savage/Stevens 84C that was originally my pops gun he got when he was 12. I use it to pop squirrels that like to steal chicken food. It shoots .22 short, long or long rifle. I use .22 shorts from about 50 yards.
If anyone knows where to get a period correct scope and rings let me know.

Remington 514 with a steamed and refinished stock, new buttplate, and cleaned up light surface rust. Bore is great.

A 513T is what I cut my .22 teeth on. It was Dad's gun, not sure where it came from. Guessing he bought it in California during his Navy days in the 50's.
I was into my teens before I figured out not all .22's weighed 8+ pounds. |

I probably have one of the rarest 22LR semis that were made before the 60s. Maybe rarest to be made by a major company to date in the US. I also have 2 of them. They are oddly very different from one another.
Marlin Model 50. Marlin's only open bolt. From my reading there were only 5000 made between 1931 and 1934. Apparently they were $14.31 in 1932. They have no extractor on the bolt, one of mine has some sort of extractor/ejector to get brass out of the chamber of necessary and the other does not. Magazines are crazy rare. The magazine catches on my 2 are also different from each other. Unfortunately I do not have original mags. They are really cool little rifles. I'd like to know how many still exist. I had to modify a receiver plug on one of them and replace the spring because it was crushing springs. Thankfully Savage still uses a spring that works.  I also love 1915 Model Stevens Favorite rifles with full octagonal barrel. |

A vintage .22 has been on my "want" list for a while now, but I'm not exactly sure what I should be searching for.
I think I'd like a working man's .22, but something nice. Like a guy that grew up poor, that's been working hard his whole life and finally has a little change in his pocket. He goes out and buys a "nice" .22. Not the nicest rifle money can buy, but something quality that he'll pass down to his kids. What would that rifle have been, say before 1950? |

Now all I’ve got left are one early serialized 510 and a 512. Gave the rest always to kids in the family. Got a bunch of Winchester 67’s that I pieced together from parts bought on eBay. I have a Remington 41 that is a tack driver. A couple Remington 12’s, a 33 and a 34. An early Mossberg 22 single shot. A whole bunch of Stevens 53’s, 82’s, 83’s. A bunch of Savage 23A and AA’s. A couple Winchester 1890’s, one in 22 short and one in 22 long. Some early Marlin 60’s. A bunch of pre warning Ruger 10/22’s. Crazy, but I just like boys rifles from the past, 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s. Kinda neat to go walk in the woods carrying something my grandfather had as a kid. |

Heavy barrel and stock. Never looked up to see when it was made. Maybe I will see if that info in in the Blue Books. I had what's got to be one of the last Unertl target scopes made and put it on there. Its 20X, but its not like there was a lot of choice when I came across it at a gun show back in the mid 1990s |

You should start a thread when you get it finished and show us how it turns out. I know a lot of the manlicher models and probably some of the ones like yours were lend/lease guns we sent to the Brits as training rifles. I had a 151k that was made to mimic the M1 carbine, my son has it now. All those old Mossberg.22's were tack drivers. Mossberg made a lot of variations of .22 rifles back then. |

Honestly and not to be too biased but one of the Mossbergs like me and the other fellow posted. They made tons of em for civs and for training rifles for us and the allies and they were really pretty good quality and great accuracy for war time non combat rifles. Tons of variants from the late 30's to nearly early 60's. |

How about a Marlin "Tom Mix" Special?
Marlin "Tom Mix Special" Model 100 S - bolt action .22 – Named after the famous “cowboy” in the 30s. “ In 1937, the Marlin 100-S Tom Mix Special rifle was offered with “special target sights” and a sling for $5.95.”   Then a Remington Model 12 CS pump action. Octagon barrel chambered in .22.Remington Special. Quite a bit hotter than .22lr.    |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's pretty rad, it isn't a repeater is it? Single shot. The magazine is empty; it serves as a brass catcher. The empty shells fall down into it. Once you’re done you just dump it out. They can be made into repeaters by using a Hiscock-Parker magazine, but they’re rare, expensive, and finicky. |
