Need a first aid or trauma kit? medicalgearoutfitters.com/?aff=117&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwltKxBhDMARIsAG8KnqWeDu2Ew0ee2cXsFpjl6SJm-Fl-kLnUHWlnRomWfQdAImRJYpSBNDQaAqRCEALw_wcB
My dad gave me a Winchester model 62 for my 10th birthday . I still have it. My 10th birthday was in 1959. The Winchester is a 1946 model. Yes, it was used, but my cousin bought it new, then sold it to Dad. My grandson will inherit it one day.
fastest manual action there is, faster than straight pull, faster than lever action, faster than bolt action, best system for off hand shooting with iron sights next to semi auto
I have an '06 that my grandfather used for decades as a state employed beaver trapper in Colorado. It shows that it was a working gun. I even have the leather saddle scabbard that he carried it on his horses in. For speed shooting hold the trigger back and run the pump as fast as you can. It'll fire on lockup without having to pull and release the trigger every shot.
I had a really good friend let me hold his model 1890 chambered in 22WRF. I loved shooting that rifle. After my friends death I realized it was his father’s gun, and his brother offered me the use of his range. The first time I went to his range I brought his father’s 1890 to him, he was beyond happy bc he didn’t know what ever happened to it. I loved the rifle just not the caliber so I looked for one in S-L-LR, ok $2-3K, alittle expensive to just use with the kids to plink with. I’m glad to see you agree with my decision to go with the Henry. I love the rifle, but some of the grandkids find the action a little stiff or hard to pump fast enough to eject the spent rounds. I don’t so I’m hoping it gets worn in as the years go on. Thanks for the videos.
Love .22 pump actions! A few years ago a buddy brought over an old pump .22 and told me I could have it since it didn't work and he knew I worked on old firearms. It was a Savage 1903 missing the magazine and a gummed up action. A few hours later and I had it working again and a original magazine ordered!👍
My first firearm is a 1969 Remington 572 which I still have. I was 12 when I got it for my birthday and I just hit 67 a week ago making it 55 years old. It is fun to shoot and still looks great.
Took my friends and family out for a Sunday shoot, brought out the AR”s AK”s and everything in between, but at the end of the day everyone wanted to shoot / own a 22 plinking gun.. the 22 king of the plinking world.. don’t leave home without it!! Thanks for sharing!!
my first .22 was a takedown Remington rolling block, wish I still had it! I have a 1926 Rem mod 12 pump octagon, Rem Nylon 66, Ruger 10/22, and Henry octagon.
The first .22 rifle I got was a single shot, bolt action, auto safety, that a grandfather figure gave to me. His parents bought it for him out of the Sears and Roebuck catalog for his 13th birthday. I've put more rounds in through that rifle then any other .22 I own. I don't shoot it much anymore, but it's still one of my all time favorite rifles! That thing is crazy accurate for being as old as it is and with how much abuse its taken over the years. I have never considered myself much of a precision shooter, but I surprised myself one day when I shot a 10 round group at 50 yards and all 10 were touching in about a 1" group! And that was off hand! Now I've never been able to replicate those results, but I don't blame the rifle. . . I usually can't even get those kind of results with a modern semi-auto rifle while in the prone position! Like I said, I'm not a precision shooter. I'm working on getting better, but I used to think as long as I was within a few inches of my aim point, it wouldn't really matter.
The Winchester 1890 was often chambered in .22WRF which is now obsolete, although CCI occasionally produces the .22WRF ammo. The 1890 was also used at shooting galleries at state fairs and other such events and is often referred to as a gallery gun. In those days, it was common to shoot .22 short gallery guns at the fair. Even kids could shoot them. I'm old enough that I shot them. About 15 years ago, I accumulated 6 of the 1890s and still have 5 of them. I gave one to my grandson and it is chambered in .22WRF.
Dad used to have one made in the 1920s he bought used in 1953 when he was 12 for $20. My Uncle is 89 and still owns it. I'd like to have it back someday. Wish Dad never sold it when he joined the Army in 1960. Always preferred a pump over a lever action and they both did too. Even better with the octagonal barrel.
@@JohnDoeEagle1. I enjoyed reading the account of your experience with this family heirloom (priceless by previous owners). May I ask why the octagonal barrel is a better find?
@@slackleashdogtraining3598 They are old world craftsmanship, look cool and shoot very well because they have a heavy barrel. Instead of being a modern round heavy "bull barrel" they are octagon and have flat sides. They told me stories of shooting gophers with just their heads sticking up from their 2nd story bedroom window. They also shot sparrows out of the trees and the barn cats became their best friend when they had their daily meal handed to them without any effort on their parts. Something that has carbon steel with high polished blue, real wood stock and forearm along with the octagonal barrel screams Americana all over it. Remember how 1858 Remington New Army .44 BP/.45 LC had the octagonal barrel? That's one of the most popular Civil War and Old West handguns ever made. Clint Eastwood used one in Pale Rider along with the quick change .45 LC conversion cylinders he wore on his belt.
When I was a lad I found a well used Winchester model 62 that my uncle bought in 1933 when he was 14. He said if I wanted to fix it, it was all mine. The stock was cracked and held together with tape. I put a screw in it, refinished the stock, put on a new sight, and have been shooting it for the last 45 years.
Years back (1992) a friend loaned me her model 275 and it was a sweet rifle. I got to use it a few weeks but had to return it. It was my first time shootin' rimfire magnum fodder. I dig yer swell collection of vintage pump rimfires. The old trombone guns. I have two myself. One is a 1982 Rossi 62 SA carbine (16.5" barrel), it's a beauty and just about screams nostalgia. I know Winchester didn't make barrels that short but I dig the Rossi. It shoots S, L, LR interchangeably, has no disconnector and a traditional half-cock safety to boot. Assembled length is 32". My other pump is a Taurus M72 rimfire magnum (2001) carbine (also with 16.5" barrel). Sadly it has the top mounted safety and lock system but it's a swell gun. With the TNT ammo there's a fireball out the barrel. Real badass. Thanks for posting this. You got some boss rimfires there. Spendin' the day shootin' a rimfire rifle can be an excellent mental enema.
I have a Ruger Precision 8400 bolt action. It's an AR platform 22LR. I put a big scope and bipod on it. That rifle is very accurate and much fun to shoot.
Caps Lock is a button on a computer keyboard that causes all letters of bicameral scripts to be generated in capital letters. It is a toggle key: each press reverses the previous action. Some keyboards also implement a light to give visual feedback about whether it is on or off.
Who else is surprised the Plinkster doesn’t have a million subs? I have a pump Remington that I inherited from my grandfather. I was staying the summer with him when I was 10 (1976) and remember picking the rifle up at the farm store, he mounted a scope, sighed it in, then promptly turned to the direction of his strawberry patch and dispatched 2 birds that were stealing all of them. I got to shoot it a lot that summer with my cousin. We’d take a brick of ammo and a card table and chairs out in the field and shoot ground squirrels for hours. Lots of good memories.
Winchester Model 61 is the cream of the crop of pump actions rim fires. Like it better than any other gun I've used. Just built better and with better quality than the other models. You need to get one...
I picked up a Remington 12A at a gun show for a bargain price of $100. It shoots great if it's clean! Dirty I can't hit the paper target. I believe these types of 22 rifles where described as "gallery guns" because they were the type used in shooting galleries of old with 22 shorts.
Sometime in the late 50s/early 60s, Winchester sold the the machinery used to produce the 62 to Rossi. Rossi then setup production in Brazil, using the original Winchester machinery, to produce the model Rossi 37, later renamed 62.
I have a Rossi that I bought in about the late 60s ! The reason I bought it was because the receiver was Aluminum, I had never seen one of those before!! I love that little thing!!!
A number of years ago I acquired a Winchester Model 61, stamped W.M.R.F. It is in excellent condition. I also have a Win 1906 and, a pair of 62A manufactured circa 1952. When I was actively collecting I was unable to find an 1890.
my grandfather came to anerica in 1919. He bought a Stevens model 70 visible loading carbine, from the sears catalogue for $20. I still have it and it is an accurate gun.
The first several times I went to the local amusement park, from about 1961-1965, there was a shooting gallery. Even though I was a "kid", I was just another customer. I really liked the pump "gallery guns", and later working at a small gun shop had plenty of opportunity to purchase , but didn't. Enjoy them for me!
I have a Winchester 1906 that someone left laying between the rafters of a house I bought. It is a really fun gun to shoot, but not the most accurate. I was a little surprised that you did not mention that some of the old .22 pump actions were used in carnival shooting galleries. I hope you reach 1 million subscribers soon.
When I was a kid, in the late 60's - early 70's, there were still "shooting galleries" at carnivals, boardwalks, county fairs, etc., that still used .22 rifles. Most of the rifles were semiauto's modified to fire .22 CB Long, but a couple of the older operations used slide-action rifles in .22 Short or .22 Long. I always preferred the slide-actions, and shot them far better than the semi-autos. My uncle could shoot the slide-actions almost as fast as a semi-autos.
When I was 12 my dad used to take me with him to the range. Then he brought my a bolt action mossberg 22. While in HS (1963-66) I used it to practice with CB 22 indoors. I still have one box. With a price tag of .50 cents. They still work fine.
I have an all original Winchester model 1906 slide action. My late brother in law used it as his squirrel gun growing up in Alaska in the 40's & 50's. Serial number dates to 1913. My gunsmith refurbished it and said it had little use. After he finished it, it looked great. Shot flawlessly and the sight were very accurate. If my sister's grandson takes an interest, I will pass it on to him. But I'll be keeping my brother in law's Colt 1908 25ACP Vest pocket pistol that dates to 1910. A very early one, also refurbished.
I have a Stevens Visible Loading Repeater .22 short/long pump action from 1910. It exposes the cartridge in the rear of the gun when you pump the action. When my great grandfather bought it at a haberdashery in Maryland, it was sold to him as a "Carnival Gun". It's very easy to catch the webbing of your thumb under the hammer when charging it and Oh goodness does it hurt!
Remington 1912 and Winchester model 51 is sitting beside me now ! Love the old guns that I grew up with! For .22 I prefer the pump- slide actions. Have taken many small game and varmints with them !
Bought the Henry...didn't like the buckhorn sight ..loved the two screw holes under it,, because it was 5 minutes to put the Skinner peep into them...then a Skinner fiber optic took over the front.. scary how accurate that set up made that rifle with CCI Standards..
The 1906 was the very first 22 I ever shot. It was my mother’s the second 22 I ever shot was from Sears and roebuck and it was a single shot bolt action from 1936. It belong to my father.
My first rifle was a late 1930s Noble Arms pump action prototype .22 rimfire gallery gun. My Grandfather used it as his ranch gun and I first shot it from the back of that truck in 1959 when I was six years old. He later gave it to me and I shot all the rounds through it that I could afford. I still have it, occasionally shoot it, and would never part with it.
My dad gave me his childhood model 61 when I was 10. I shot many rounds over the years. Still have it and plan to hand it down. I used to rabbit hunt with it and never shot one sitting..always on the run. I also have my grandpas model 63. I love old Winchesters..!
Making a video of every rimfire you have will be an awesome undertaking. Especially if you are determined to fire each one of them. I believe epic is what it's called. I've been watching for several years and seen bunches of guns you might have owned. Looking forward to this epic presentation. Thank you for this presentation on the slide action rimfire rifles.
Many years back, my father gave me his old rifle that he bought as a kid. It's a Winchester Model 60A target rifle. Bolt action, Peep sight and sling. Still have it in the original box, which is really falling apart and the cleaning kit that I'm pretty sure didn't come with it, witch is still in it's original cloth bag. To this day I have never shot it.
I too learned to shoot using CB "Cap" back in the late 50s Father had his ROTC Match, Winchester (mid 40s) Model 72 Target, and we'd shoot those CB Caps in the Backyard Back then, they came in a Tin, not unlike Pellets That old Model 72 can still Keyhole Shots all day long
the first gun I ever fired was at camp Rio Vista in Texas back in 1975 they were Remmington bolt guns but needless to say I was a terrible shot, but now I can hit targets at over a mile, things have changed since then!
I have an 1890, 1906, 62, 61, the rossi copy, and they are all great guns. My two most accurate is my 1890 in 22lr and the 61 that is scoped. Both are unusually accurate for a pump 22.
I have a Rossi and my extractor broke and I could not find anyone who would work on a Rossi. So I got my dad to make a replacement part and I finished fitted it by hand file myself, I haven't shot it more than 100 shots since but it still works.
I have a model 62 that my grandpa gave me. Very nice rifle and it is a very accurate rifle. I also have a Mossberg model 35ic I'm not sure how old it is. It's a fun gun to shoot fer sure.
Marlin 39a was rough straight from the factory I spent a lot of time polishing the internals and have not shot it since. One day hopefully it still functions.
I have an 1890 short only. The rifling was horrible. You couldn’t guarantee hitting a paper plate every time at 10 yards. I had liner installed and it shoots pretty well now.
Nice guns. I've only got one pump action 22 in my collection. A hammerless Noble Model 235 that my father gave me in un-working condition about 30 years ago. After replacing the internal hammer and spring, it turned out to be a nice gun for what was a budget gun in it's day. It's a lot of fun to shoot though can be a little picky about ammo. Seems a love CCI Mini Mags as I've never had those jam.
Have you ever shot a Remington 591M/592M in 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum? Not in production for a long time, but its an amazing cartridge and very accurate rifle.
Dad got me my first gun when he got back from Vietnam in 1974, a High Standard Sport King (model P0111?). I was 11. Still have it, it’s still in almost perfect shape. One thing that has always kinda impressed me about that rifle is the wood stock. It’s really quite nice for a not expensive gun. I mean, he was a CMSGT in the the Air Force, so it wasn’t like we were poor, but he was kindofa cheap skate, so I just don’t see him paying more than $50 for it back then.
I'm wondering why no Remington 22 pump rifle. My uncle had one and it was constantly borrowed by one of my cousins. He loved it. I am considering one of the Henrys.
I have a Henry pump action and it's a nice rifle but I really wish they would make a lighter version of it. You start to feel the weight of that heavy octagonal barrel after a while.
I have just about all of the Winchesters, Remington etc. But I gravitate to the obscure. How about a C.J. Hamilton model 39? I've collected rimfires for over 50 years and have only seen one other.
II got 1966 anniversary 572 fieldmaster fair condition good shooter also winchester 611956 thats a tack driver with and without scope good to fair shape and a Winchester 62a 1947 also in about same looking shape but havent fired it yet barrel looks good pray its a good shooter lol
When I started with an old Remington single shot bolt action I could but a box of 50 22 shorts for 40 cents, longs for 45 cents and 50 cents for long rifle.
I have a J. Stevens 1904, pump action! Shoots .22 and.22 long Rifle! Was my Grandfather, then my father and now mine. When my Grandfather owned it, he said it was dropped and the front sights were knocked off and someone had the sites Brazed back on.
I have a Savage 1914 that, I am told, was used mostly as gallery guns at fairs. You made mention that you have a gunsmith who rebuilt one of your slide-action rifles. Mine has a piece in it that someone has made and it is quite obvious. I have not found a local smith that can or will do this type of work. I am interested in finding someone who will do this. I am afraid to try to shoot my gun till I get this fixed.
Maybe you just don't have it on the table, but I don't see the first series 1890. I see series 2 and 3, but not the non-breakdown series 1. They were also chambered in the WRF.
Absolutely LOVED this video! My first firearm experience was when I was 4, with a Winchester model 90 Mine is a bit different from yours though, as it doesn’t have the “wings” on the bolt. My Dad told me when his Dad went to buy it, and the guy wanted $10 for it. My grandpa wouldn’t have any of that, and talked the guy down to $8. 😂 My Dad passed this .22 to me, and we still shoot it together. It is the prized rifle in my collection!
I had a .22 pump and a matching 16 ga. Browning pump actions, to young and dumb to have em and think I sold one for a tank of gas back when it was 47 cents a gallon.
You won’t believe me I’m sure but, after I graduated high school I wanted to buy a new firearm. I was working, had money, going to college and needed something for fun. I had trouble choising between two long guns. a rossi pump .22 styled aftre the Win. 62 snd a rossi double bbl, rabbit eared .410 shotgun. In '83 those matched so nicely. deep bluing and beautiful wood. i decided to get the .410. that .22 sold and ive never found one even close since. You sir have a .22 Rossi slide action like ive looked for off and on since then. i suppose theres more out there yet.
Have your gunsmith put a new barrel liner in the old 1906. I’ve done that a few times. Kids went through tons of ammo back in the old days. They didn’t have an Xbox
I have one of the Rossi's as well (my first "real" gun). The one time I needed parts for it, I just bought the Winchester parts and they worked fine. Just something to think about if you want to get the Rossi running again.
I love the 22s. Thank you very much. You and your family have a beautiful and blessed week. I sub your channel and hope you reach 1 millions subs soon.

Pump-action rifles always bring a sense of nostalgia and practicality to the table.
I'd love it if Remington made pump action rifles again

Yes it is. You can drive tacks with it because of its accuracy.
I like the old pump guns but I've always been a sucker for an old Marlin model 60.....

Pump action .22 rifles are cool. The best and most beautiful one is, without a doubt, the FN Trombone. Designed by John Browning, made in Belgium.
I have a FN Browning "trombone" , conceled hammer pump action . Great little takedown gun but the trigger is a shocker.

I have a Rossi that I bought in about the late 60s ! The reason I bought
it was because the receiver was Aluminum, I had never seen one of those before!!
I love that little thing!!!
A number of years ago I acquired a Winchester Model 61, stamped W.M.R.F. It is in excellent condition. I also have a Win 1906 and, a pair of 62A manufactured circa 1952. When I was actively collecting I was unable to find an 1890.
Gallery guns.
my grandfather came to anerica in 1919. He bought a Stevens model 70 visible loading carbine, from the sears catalogue for $20. I still have it and it is an accurate gun.
The first several times I went to the local amusement park, from about 1961-1965, there was a shooting gallery. Even though I was a "kid", I was just another customer. I really liked the pump "gallery guns", and later working at a small gun shop had plenty of opportunity to purchase , but didn't. Enjoy them for me!
You forgot your grandmas pump action and the amazing story that goes with it!
I have a Winchester 1906 that someone left laying between the rafters of a house I bought. It is a really fun gun to shoot, but not the most accurate. I was a little surprised that you did not mention that some of the old .22 pump actions were used in carnival shooting galleries. I hope you reach 1 million subscribers soon.
When I was a kid, in the late 60's - early 70's, there were still "shooting galleries" at carnivals, boardwalks, county fairs, etc., that still used .22 rifles. Most of the rifles were semiauto's modified to fire .22 CB Long, but a couple of the older operations used slide-action rifles in .22 Short or .22 Long. I always preferred the slide-actions, and shot them far better than the semi-autos. My uncle could shoot the slide-actions almost as fast as a semi-autos.
When I was 12 my dad used to take me with him to the range. Then he brought my a bolt action mossberg 22. While in HS (1963-66) I used it to practice with CB 22 indoors. I still have one box. With a price tag of .50 cents. They still work fine.
I can't believe one of the top trick shooters in the world doesn't have over 1 million subs.
I have an all original Winchester model 1906 slide action. My late brother in law used it as his squirrel gun growing up in Alaska in the 40's & 50's. Serial number dates to 1913. My gunsmith refurbished it and said it had little use. After he finished it, it looked great. Shot flawlessly and the sight were very accurate. If my sister's grandson takes an interest, I will pass it on to him. But I'll be keeping my brother in law's Colt 1908 25ACP Vest pocket pistol that dates to 1910. A very early one, also refurbished.
I have a Stevens Visible Loading Repeater .22 short/long pump action from 1910. It exposes the cartridge in the rear of the gun when you pump the action. When my great grandfather bought it at a haberdashery in Maryland, it was sold to him as a "Carnival Gun". It's very easy to catch the webbing of your thumb under the hammer when charging it and Oh goodness does it hurt!
My dad has an old pump .22 from i think around 1908ish. Im trying to remember, but im almost certain its an old Stevens visible loader
Remington 1912 and Winchester model 51 is sitting beside me now ! Love the old guns that I grew up with! For .22 I prefer the pump- slide actions. Have taken many small game and varmints with them !
Bought the Henry...didn't like the buckhorn sight ..loved the two screw holes under it,, because it was 5 minutes to put the Skinner peep into them...then a Skinner fiber optic took over the front.. scary how accurate that set up made that rifle with CCI Standards..
The 1906 was the very first 22 I ever shot. It was my mother’s the second 22 I ever shot was from Sears and roebuck and it was a single shot bolt action from 1936. It belong to my father.
My first rifle was a late 1930s Noble Arms pump action prototype .22 rimfire gallery gun. My Grandfather used it as his ranch gun and I first shot it from the back of that truck in 1959 when I was six years old. He later gave it to me and I shot all the rounds through it that I could afford. I still have it, occasionally shoot it, and would never part with it.
My dad gave me his childhood model 61 when I was 10. I shot many rounds over the years. Still have it and plan to hand it down. I used to rabbit hunt with it and never shot one sitting..always on the run. I also have my grandpas model 63. I love old Winchesters..!
Making a video of every rimfire you have will be an awesome undertaking. Especially if you are determined to fire each one of them.
I believe epic is what it's called.
I've been watching for several years and seen bunches of guns you might have owned.
Looking forward to this epic presentation.
Thank you for this presentation on the slide action rimfire rifles.
Many years back, my father gave me his old rifle that he bought as a kid. It's a Winchester Model 60A target rifle. Bolt action, Peep sight and sling. Still have it in the original box, which is really falling apart and the cleaning kit that I'm pretty sure didn't come with it, witch is still in it's original cloth bag. To this day I have never shot it.
I too learned to shoot using CB "Cap" back in the late 50s
Father had his ROTC Match, Winchester (mid 40s) Model 72 Target, and we'd shoot those CB Caps in the Backyard
Back then, they came in a Tin, not unlike Pellets
That old Model 72 can still Keyhole Shots all day long
the first gun I ever fired was at camp Rio Vista in Texas back in 1975 they were Remmington bolt guns but needless to say I was a terrible shot, but now I can hit targets at over a mile, things have changed since then!
I have an 1890, 1906, 62, 61, the rossi copy, and they are all great guns. My two most accurate is my 1890 in 22lr and the 61 that is scoped. Both are unusually accurate for a pump 22.
I have a Rossi and my extractor broke and I could not find anyone who would work on a Rossi. So I got my dad to make a replacement part and I finished fitted it by hand file myself, I haven't shot it more than 100 shots since but it still works.
My father has an old remingtton pump 22 with a scope on it, think its a model 24. Fun little gun to plink in the back yard with on special occasions.
I have a model 62 that my grandpa gave me. Very nice rifle and it is a very accurate rifle.
I also have a Mossberg model 35ic I'm not sure how old it is. It's a fun gun to shoot fer sure.
I have my dads 62a he bought in 1953 has only been fired a half a dozen times the gun is accurate and in pristine condition
I think i paid $38 at K-mart in '79 for my Marlin mod.25. It's really hard to believe how accurate it is. I love it more now than ever.
Marlin 39a was rough straight from the factory I spent a lot of time polishing the internals and have not shot it since. One day hopefully it still functions.
I have an 1890 short only. The rifling was horrible. You couldn’t guarantee hitting a paper plate every time at 10 yards. I had liner installed and it shoots pretty well now.
Nice guns. I've only got one pump action 22 in my collection. A hammerless Noble Model 235 that my father gave me in un-working condition about 30 years ago. After replacing the internal hammer and spring, it turned out to be a nice gun for what was a budget gun in it's day. It's a lot of fun to shoot though can be a little picky about ammo. Seems a love CCI Mini Mags as I've never had those jam.
It's so awesome to see this very old and beautiful Winchester rifles. I haven't known that .22 pump action rifles even exists. Thanks for showing it.
I have my grandfather’s Model 90 and father-in-law’s Model 62. I put may a round thru the 90 in my younger days.
Have you ever shot a Remington 591M/592M in 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum? Not in production for a long time, but its an amazing cartridge and very accurate rifle.
I'm surprised you aren't well over a million. Always great videos!
I like the sound of the slide action and the subsonic round. That Winchester .22 mag looks good to me.
Dad got me my first gun when he got back from Vietnam in 1974, a High Standard Sport King (model P0111?). I was 11. Still have it, it’s still in almost perfect shape. One thing that has always kinda impressed me about that rifle is the wood stock. It’s really quite nice for a not expensive gun. I mean, he was a CMSGT in the the Air Force, so it wasn’t like we were poor, but he was kindofa cheap skate, so I just don’t see him paying more than $50 for it back then.
let's get him to 1 mill - I want to see the "show" you betcha!
Liking the Midsouth Shooters Supply t-shirt. Coincidentally, I have bought quite a bit of .22lr ammo from them over the past couple of years.
I have an old octogon barrel .22 WRF with a tip sight...and take down case...
Remington 22l/LR/Short, octagon barrel, 1928 vintage. Cant remember what model. Tons of fun.
Probably a model 12. At least two others in here including me had/have one.
I've got my daddy's 62 A it shoots great.
I'm wondering why no Remington 22 pump rifle. My uncle had one and it was constantly borrowed by one of my cousins. He loved it. I am considering one of the Henrys.
I have a Henry pump action and it's a nice rifle but I really wish they would make a lighter version of it.
You start to feel the weight of that heavy octagonal barrel after a while.
My first rimfire was a model 255 Winchester in 22WMR. Loved that gun. Like you said, they bring big money now. Cant find one for less than 750.00 now.
I have just about all of the Winchesters, Remington etc.
But I gravitate to the obscure.
How about a
C.J. Hamilton model 39?
I've collected rimfires for over 50 years and have only seen one other.
II got 1966 anniversary 572 fieldmaster fair condition good shooter also winchester 611956 thats a tack driver with and without scope good to fair shape and a Winchester 62a 1947 also in about same looking shape but havent fired it yet barrel looks good pray its a good shooter lol
Looks similar to my 22 wrf take down with case....it has a Lyman sight ....pretty cool firearm
When I started with an old Remington single shot bolt action I could but a box of 50 22 shorts for 40 cents, longs for 45 cents and 50 cents for long rifle.
Bought a 1906 and 62 on a dnr auction. 1906 could use a reline. I shoot the 62 akot and love the pumps
You have to get a Mod. 61. Mine is a tack driver.
I have a J. Stevens 1904, pump action! Shoots .22 and.22 long
Rifle! Was my Grandfather, then my father and now mine.
When my Grandfather owned it, he said it was dropped and the front sights were knocked off and someone had the sites Brazed back on.
I missed the Taurus Model 62 (22LR) and the Model 72 (22 WMR)? I have a 72 with red dot and LOVE it!
I have a Savage 1914 that, I am told, was used mostly as gallery guns at fairs.
You made mention that you have a gunsmith who rebuilt one of your slide-action rifles. Mine has a piece in it that someone has made and it is quite obvious. I have not found a local smith that can or will do this type of work. I am interested in finding someone who will do this. I am afraid to try to shoot my gun till I get this fixed.
You're getting close to a million, so I'm looking forward to that video.
Wish theyd make a modern/tactical version of 22 pump action
Maybe you just don't have it on the table, but I don't see the first series 1890. I see series 2 and 3, but not the non-breakdown series 1. They were also chambered in the WRF.
Absolutely LOVED this video!
My first firearm experience was when I was 4, with a Winchester model 90
Mine is a bit different from yours though, as it doesn’t have the “wings” on the bolt.
My Dad told me when his Dad went to buy it, and the guy wanted $10 for it. My grandpa wouldn’t have any of that, and talked the guy down to $8. 😂
My Dad passed this .22 to me, and we still shoot it together.
It is the prized rifle in my collection!
Thanks for the video love the older stuff!!
I have a 1896 Colt lightning chambered in .22
I recently finished restoring my grandad's gun it's a Stevens visible loader really cool gun
Old gallery guns are fun to shoot. But, they are a bit pricey. Thanks for sharing and showing.
Winchester model 1903.. Chambered in 22Auto.
It's a great rifle my father owns. We'd love to see you do a video on it.
Nice collection. I like the pump .22s too. My favorites are the Winchester 61 and Remington 121.
I had a .22 pump and a matching 16 ga. Browning pump actions, to young and dumb to have em and think I sold one for a tank of gas back when it was 47 cents a gallon.
I have 2 win 275's my fav pump 22 is the remington 572
You won’t believe me I’m sure but, after I graduated high school I wanted to buy a new firearm. I was working, had money, going to college and needed something for fun. I had trouble choising between two long guns. a rossi pump .22 styled aftre the Win. 62 snd a rossi double bbl, rabbit eared .410 shotgun. In '83 those matched so nicely. deep bluing and beautiful wood. i decided to get the .410. that .22 sold and ive never found one even close since. You sir have a .22 Rossi slide action like ive looked for off and on since then. i suppose theres more out there yet.
Have your gunsmith put a new barrel liner in the old 1906. I’ve done that a few times. Kids went through tons of ammo back in the old days. They didn’t have an Xbox
I have one of the Rossi's as well (my first "real" gun). The one time I needed parts for it, I just bought the Winchester parts and they worked fine. Just something to think about if you want to get the Rossi running again.
I love the 22s. Thank you very much. You and your family have a beautiful and blessed week. I sub your channel and hope you reach 1 millions subs soon.
The only one I have is a Stevens Visible Loader.
