What's everyone's rarest old 22 rifle?

[Skullglide]

Winchester 60A and Mossberg 144LSB with a similar vintage weaver fixed power scope.

Mid 60's Marlin 57M in 22 mag. It's a great rifle.

I have my Grandpa's 57M. Killed 11 groundhogs one summer day when I was 16 with it. As well as my first squirrel.

Not old or rare, but I still have the Marlin 15y I got for Christmas when I was 6 years old, 35 years ago. It was also my son's and eventually my daughter's first gun.

Not rare, but I have my Dad's Winchester Model 190. I don't know when he got it, or anything else, but I have it, and it is tons of fun to shoot.

Stevens Marksman, 22 single shot. Passed it on to my Son a few years ago.

An old (100+) and somewhat pitted Remington rolling block. I think it shall remain unfired by moi.

I have a Remington 550-1.

I have a Gewehrfabrik Danzig Model 2 single shot, manufactured in 1919.

It is serial number 1.

What does it say in the stock, on that 1st photo??

The stock is stamped "Germany" in the same German Gothic font as the "Gewehrfabrik Danzig" stamping on the receiver.

You handled this little rifle when you and Ironhead visited a few years ago.

Excuse me for not remembering every detail, It was like being invited into the Warehouse at the end of Indiana Jones and then being asked what was the marked on the bottom of the 5,431st box on the east end of the building...

Is yours marked Mod 2 with the crest on the top...????

Have you shot it??? What did you use 22 LR or CB???

 

[Winamac]

I have two that are rare. First, Marlin 39M Octagon, only made 1200 of them and only in 1973. Second is a 1951 Marlin 39A "peanut" rifle, only made with brass "peanut" insert for HALF of 1951 due to brass needed for Korean War effort.

Yes, I shot it just a few times, usually with Flobert caps. Even though it is marked ".22Lg", a .33 long -not L.R.- will rupture the case.

And yes, the crest is the same as your photo.

Did you ever shoot it much? I was wondering how it shot?

If you ever get the whim to take a look at that brass plate underneath your rifle, I have always wanted to see what one of those looked liked
