Ya I didn't think of the fact that the Dlask receiver would have the rail up higher than the factory 10/22 rail. Oh well I'll see how it feels and if I want to go shorter I'll get some new ones.

FEBIGER ARMS CO. MODEL #2, pump only, .22rf, manufactured at New Orleans, LA in 1910.
Other than the serial number stamped on inside of right side receiver wall, the only other stamping is the caliber on top of the barrel. Note the huge vintage buckhorn rear sight.
Beautifully grained walnut stock with very nice diamond checkering at wrist. It's historically believed the few such "dolled-up" rifles were intended for "special customers." No definition what made those folks "special."
VERY UNUSUAL HISTORY ON THESE SCARCE, 100-YEAR-OLD RIFLES.
Febiger Arms Co. of New Orleans, LA offered THREE distinctly different models: Model #1 was a unique select-action which converted from pump to semi-auto with the push of a button on the forearm to disconnect the pump, and the push of a button on the right side of the receiver to move an internal lug so the action became semi-auto; Model #2 which was pump-action only; and Model #3 which was semi-auto only.
Baker Guns and Forging Co. of Batavia, NY financially backed entrepreneur John Febiger, formerly of Philadelphia, to build these rifles in New Orleans, LA. Very soon sales lagged and with failure of repayment Baker reclaimed all Febiger tools, jigs, dies, machinery and remaining rifles and parts inventory. Their bookkeeping records noted in 1910 they had on hand $82,000 of Febiger goodies.
Baker decided to assemble some rifles and try to get some return on their investment. In their No.4 1911 catalog they offered THE ONLY RIFLE ever listed in their line of fine scatterguns: THE BATAVIA AUTOMATIC RIFLE. (Check current gun guides for the Baker listings.)
Also in 1911, The Savage Arms Co. issued a written notice to the gun world at large that the two rifles infringed on patents of their Model 1903 and 1909 pumps. The warned that if anyone sold either, Savage would immediately institute a patent infringement lawsuit. Thus ended this truly oddball enterprise. (Think what it would have meant to our Allied troops of WW I to have had a big-bore semi-auto rifle to work with instead of the old bolt-actions!)
Specimens of the Febiger guns can be found both with or without the company name. Mine is WITHOUT. So far, ALL Bakers found are stamped with full company name and address.
Mine's serial number is just under 7000 so, there's still a bunch of them out there you should keep your eyes open for.

Here are my rimfires, The 2 newest additions are the Nylon 66 and the Nylon 10C. I also have a S&W 422 pistol and Winchester 74 rifle on the way. The Ruger is still the most accurate but I havn't tried the Nylons's and the Squibman 20A yet. I really like the leaver tho!

Here's my Dlask setup. Dar receiver, dlask 16.5" fluted barrel, levang compensator, VQ trigger group, VQ bolt, Hogue stock. Sorry for the poor pics.
Lol
I'll play... here is a Remington model 512 I rescued from basket case status. Shortened barrel and magazine tube, refinished wood added white spacer to butt plate and re-blued.
Then I have my left hand Savage Mark II GL I rescued form being lame.
Changed from this
to this
Barrel shortened, target crown, bolt handle straightened, Drilled and tapped for weaver bases, fluted comb on stock, refinished wood (tung oil), trigger job (turned out incredible... 2 lbs!!)

Here are two I got last week, nothing special... but both are A LOT of fun! 
Mossberg
Ruger
I put a Burris FF2 3x9 on the 10/22 until I get a camo scope and rings. I only wish the Mossberg had 25 round mags as the ones I bought for the Ruger are working/running great!
