painted black , OD and dark earth onto the stock.. then spread a few handfulls of grass over it.. sprayed with tan .. and there is the end product, very easy to do.. looks great..

im going to do something similar with my M14.. but thinking black and dark grey as the undercoat with OD over the top

OK, here's my 2 cents worth. I have a Remington Targetmaster in .22mag. The thing is, this model was never made by Remington in that calibre, which means someone did a wonderful gunsmithing job on this old girl. They added rosewood grip & nose caps with spacers, and it's a lovely old single shot. With the right ammo, it will shoot nice 100m groups. The other old girl is a Winchester Mod.39, also in lovely shape with no rust or pitting. I've yet to get this out to the range for a tune up, but that'll happen this spring.

Meriden Fire Arms Co. Military Model CADET

Got word yesterday I have won this VERY SCARCE little .22rf musket made only between 1915 and 1917. (Photo taken once in hand and BEFORE restoration work.)

Sears Roebuck company became embroiled in a hassle with Winchester and the various trade organizations of the time over buying rifles and offering them at discount prices. By 1904 Winchester refused to sell Sears their rifles.

Typically, Sears started their own rifle manufacturing. They bought the old Malleable Iron Co. factory in Meriden, CT and opened for business in January of 1905 as Meriden Fire Arms Co.. They continued there until selling out to Rosenwald and Loeb in 1916, who moved their new operation to Center Street where they continued until 1918.

In the early teens of 1900 military-style light rifles for boys had become all the rage. Sears wanted to offer such a rifle to their customers and to compete with Remington's No.4-S, etc.. Winchester made a couple of similar prototypes and abandoned their attempt at that market. Thus the SEARS CADET was born.

Below is an ad from the Sears 1915 catalog offering the CADET at $4.25. By 1916 the price rose to $4.45, and in 1917 the final price was $5.25. A leather sling was included in the price.

The only info I have on this interesting little musket comes from Jim Perkins' 1976 book, American Boys' Rifles 1890-1945. If any readers have additional documented info on these rifles I would greatly appreciate learning about it.

Wow that is one sweet .22. A 16" marlin takedown may be the coolest gun I've seen in a long time. You should shoot that thing, I bet it still retains most of it's value in terms of sheer desirability.

I use it as a trainer for my M4, its set up similar,but it is a lot cheaper to shoot! 3x9 illuminated scope for long shots, laser built in on the scope for fun, red/green holo site co witnessing iron sites, the dot floats above the front site.

I am an accessory junkie...........

I knew you would like it, you have great taste as well! Thinking of the $ i save shooting rimfire instead of .223 all the time.
