Anyone out there have one of these?
I can honestly say it is my most accurate .22lr, I can ping off pinecones
with it at 100yds with confidence.
It has a two stage trigger that breaks at 2lbs, and has what I would say is a medium -heavy barrel, no sights.
The stock is deffinately not the original, its made of beechwood and has an overweight forend with a shorter than average but-stock ( all one piece).
I will post pics tomorrow.

If it looks like Stainless, its not.
When i bought the gun at the last Marrysville B.C. gunshow, it was in very rough shape. The stock had a nasty brown and gray faded and rubbed paint job, and the barrel looked like it had been wrapped with a wet blanket and then put away somewhere damp. There were actual spiral wrap markings! So, I scrubbed it all down, stripped the stock and that's when I found out that was beechwood. Didn't like it so I sprayed it with Dura-Kote bedliner and let it dry and then took a piece of old used 120 grit sandpaper and scuffed it down.
I then bought a bunch of grits of metal sandpaper and got to work sanding all the rust, gunge and old chitty bluing off. I think I ended up at 1000 grit at the end. Since the gun had only the reciever rail that you can only use tip off rings on, I had the local gunsmith drill and tap it for Weaver bases.
At some point in the guns' previous life, somebody drilled and tapped 2 holes on the left side of the reciever for some weird side mount.
