glad to hear you still have it. I like these guns also. they remind me a lot of the marlin 39's
Mossberg Palomino, my first firearm to own. Still have it too.
I will play-Winchester model 74 in .22 short. It is a 1938 production with a 1200 series serial number.
It is my kids and every other kids #1 fun gun at the range.
I have a Gewehrfabrik Danzig Model 2 single shot, manufactured in 1919.
It is serial number 1.
Its an early Winchester 67 (1934-35) with a 6-21 scope mounted. It sold for $ 5.50 new; my Dad bought it at an auction for $ 7.50 in the late 1950's. On one very good day, it shot 5/8 inch for 5 shots at 100 yards.
Winchester made the barrel an action out of one piece of steel in these old single shot rifles. I think that contributes to their accuracy. Extraction can be erratic because of the design, but its worth the hassle. Any missed shots are the shooter or the wind. It really likes CCI standard velocity.
thanks for sharing that is defently one that falls into the catagoryI have a Gewehrfabrik Danzig Model 2 single shot, manufactured in 1919.
