Need help iding this .22

[Striker]

I have my flunky Dosing looking into it but he's working tonite and will most likely fall asleep..
Actually I thought it was an interesting little rifle and thought I'd post some pics.
It has Bullseye stamped on the barrel and in a stamp on the stock.

You have to #### the hammer and then pull back on the little post on the right. This uncovers the chamber. The extractor is the part below the chamber. We think it is suppose to move back when you pull back on the post but it doesn't.

The round disc that covers the chamber has a fixed firing pin in it which you can see in this picture.

It has 2 small brass squares on both sides of the butt. If there was something written on them it's long gone.

This is stamped on the bottom of the barrel.

It looks like there is a cleaning rod or something similar missing. There are two screw holes in the barrel that look like they held on a loop or band and the front stock is bored out to accept a tube or rod.

Here is the stamp on the butt.

There is also a rectangle shaped plaque pinned to the bottom of the butt. Again, nothing is written or stamped on it or it's long gone.

I handled one of those a few years ago and almost bought one...dam if I can't remember the name right now!

Might be a...
Belgian Flobert hinged breech action gallery rifle, or some type of browning.

bayard

That looks like a Bayard or Pieper from the 1910-1930 era. I have had a few similar styles, just gave away a bunch of parts for a similar style Pieper-Bayard. Neat little boys gun, great for a wall hanger, I wouldn't recommend shooting it as most of the ones I've seen spit crap back out at you due to action "slop". Rimfire Central may be better for an actual model number. I bought several of them between 25-50 bucks each - I don't think there is much collector value to them.

The extractor IS as far back as that sort gets. It was opened either by a spring (possibly) or by a hook on the underside of the breech block (likely, the breech block is the part with the disc and post).

There were an awful lot of rolling block type boys rifles made, and an awful lot more made in Belgium.

Stevens made a bunch that used a system like this, as did Remington (dig around online for images of the Remington Model 6).

This one is neither, but the principle is the same.

I would recommend a good scrubbing out, and an inspection by someone able to determine the condition of the chamber and bore, before shooting it. Even if it looks really good, I would be a little (a lot, actually) leery of loading it up with modern High Velocity 22 ammo. Longs or shorts would be more along the pressures these were meant to handle.

The Belgians made a lot of quality firearms, but a lot of the ones that made it to our shores were not them. They built low end stuff to meet a price point, and a lot of that came over.

Thanks for the input guys.
I don't own it. The owner wanted us to refinish it for him. We told him he might want to do some research into it because if it is rare, etc refinishing it will lessen the value of it.
From what you guys have posted..he might be better off to give it a good scrubbing with 000 steel wool and oil and hang it on a wall.

darocott said it best, hie yourself over to rimfirecentral.com and ask there. Use the Other Brands Rimfire forum. Someone, somewhere, will know what it is.
