Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. https://i.imgur.com/Iftaa3Yh.jpg I also love 1915 Model Stevens Favorite rifles with full octagonal barrel. I also own a model 50E. Same as yours but came with a rear peep sight. Don't go looking for any extra magazines . You'll have a heart attack at the price.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @sparky4 Was your Dad's name Steve? If so, I'm the guy who sold it back to her. She said you loved that Norinco. I'm sorry to hear of her passing. Yes sir!!! Thank you for giving her the opportunity to give it to me. It made both of us happy. Did a little work to it. One of the extractor legs was broke off. The retaining pin for the extractor was stuck horrible. I used my dads old drill press to drill it out. Replaced the extractor and the retaining pin. Runs perfect and is very accurate. Not sure if I broke the extractor or my brother in law did before she was able to bring it to me. I also remembered not to wear long sleeve shirts when shooting it due to it being bottom eject. I take it to the desert often. Thanks again for the opportunity to own a gun gun from my childhood. @dwa |

Shit, I'm getting old. Probably could consider my first rifle from the 90's as vintage now, a Marlin 2000 for smallbore competition, got it when I was 13.
It's back in its original configuration with irons currently.

Quoted: 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. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/316849/20240329_190948_jpg-3242002.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/316849/20240329_191016_jpg-3242003.JPG Very nice. I grew up shooting a Winchester 47, and my best friend had a 510. Both a great little guns. My Dad was a Winchester guy, his family was a Remington family. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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? Auto, Winchester 63 Pump, Winchester 61 Bolt, Winchester 52 (or a 69 since the 52's are $$$), or a 72A if you prefer a tube fed to a magazine fed. Lever, Marlin 39A |
