North America Arms Co. Model 15 "Northmarksman" .22 Rifle Info (Updateics Included)

Anyone with any info on these. I was able to get a nice one at auction that is in almost new condition. But can't find any info online about this model or the Company that made it. Supposed to be made in Canada in possibly Toronto, but not sure when they were made, how many or what all the model designations there are. I can only find a couple references to the Grizzly Models 10 and 20 but can't find anything on the Model 15 "Northmarksman". Mine has a serial number ----9###. The serial has the dashes then four numbers mine being in the early to mid 9000's. It is a magazine fed bolt action. Any info on this model would be appreciated.

Nothing?... Crickets....

I could post some pictures, just haven't had the chance to take any yet. Someone from back in the day out there must know something about these...

Never heard of a model 15. Had a 10(shot great).On my model 10 the bolt handle fell off on a hard extraction and had remounted by smith.Other than that it was a great little gun. I Ended up making it into a starter rifle for my daughter. CCI Blazers shot really well out of it. The model 20 is 22lr with mag and I do believe there is a model 30 in 22 mag. Yes they were made in Toronto Canada. Not a lot of info on them. It would be nice to see a picture of yours....

She looks to be in almost new condition. Looks the same as a model 10 but with a magazine.

Yes just a couple slight safe kisses. Looks like it was used very little.

Looks like it uses the same mags as the Lakefield/Savage.

I have seen a few NAACO, but n'er a 15... What a clean example from a company that's been closed for decades!

They look similar from a distance, but put side by side there are differences in shape and how they are retained in the rifle.

Just picked up a second magazine for my NAACO model 40 22 magnum, sadly no 22 LR mags to be had.

Very cool. I have never seen either the 15 or 30 in pictures or in person.

Here’s some details on the NAACO 22 models. Very similar barrels thru the options, but various differences to make them distinct. I’m not sure if Northmatch and Northmarksman were specific to particular retailers, as they didn’t seem to very from the more common Grizzly models

The catalog I have lists this as the 15. It has the 22's as Model 10, 20, 30, 40 and shotguns as 5, 15, 25, 35.

My friend picked up one of these a little while back, nicely put together rifle, but a really creepy, rough, heavy trigger. How do you find yours trigger?
