My first rifle, and still have, and I mean MY first rifle was a 34. I pulled it out of a garbage trailer with no stock, in '65 at the wise old age of 5. Needless to say it was in the garbage for a reason. However, 40 years later, having it lay around collecting dust, I managed to turn into an almost factory looking, reliable, and accurate. Love my 34!
I can't express how much I love this channel. The firearms are interesting and the way you present them is very relatable.
After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel ruclips.net/user/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!
my old marlin m60 15+1 [sic] i had dialed at 75 yards and would shoot spent .22 cartridges, i had a tasco 3-9x32mm
My grandfather bought me the Winchester model 55 new in 1958. It was advertised as the automatic single shot. I still have it today and have tried to buy every one I found for over 60 years. They are so rare I only have 4 in my collection. I cannot fathom the number of jackrabbits I have taken with that original gun and it still works perfectly.
There was a clone of it made in Argentina made by the defunct factory MAHELY,it certainly must be very scarce as I only saw one 60 years ago for sale in a toys shop....!!!!!!!!that were the times...
My first 22 was a Remington 34, and I still have it in my collection. I've fired thousands of shorts, longs, and long rifle rounds through it; sometimes mixing different sizes in the magazine. Never had a hiccup chambering a round. Accuracy was and is outstanding even with the open sights.
At age 13, my first rifle was also a Remington model 34. It was unbelievably accurate, an absolutely perfect rabbit gun. Had it for about five years...at age 65, it’s the only rifle I wish I could get back.
I think the AFT tried to ban them for the open bolts, by claiming that open bolts are too easy to convert to naughty guns, that while not illegal can only be purchased with a special federal license and tax.
I have a 341 which replaced the 34.
My first 22 was the model 34. Still in the family and always a joy to shoot and carry in the woods. Another excellent video.
Once again you have shown me firearms that I never knew existed. Thank you for taking the time to make these wonderful and informative videos.
God bless you my friend.
Wow....love that Remington . Out of my six 22 rifles the Winchester 62A is my favorite. Love your videos sir. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us👍
I inherited a model 34 from my father. He purchased it in Australia in 1936. By the time I got it the loading mechanisim was so worn out that you had to really snap the action back and forward to get it to eject and load the next round. That aside the thing was still remarkably accurate. I hate to think how many thousands of rounds that had been throught it.
My first rifle was a Remington model 34. I still have it thirty years later and it is still my go to farm gun. It’s stunningly accurate and reliable. They don’t make actions like that anymore.
I own 2 Model 34's one was my great grandfathers and the other my step-dads. I have shot many many rounds through them with great accuracy and no jams. Great Rifles!
I have a near perfect condition Model 55. It was a Christmas gift when I was about 14 years old. While I no longer have the original box I remember a sticker on it with the price of $20.45. It is very accurate, never misfired. While I have considerably more firearms today this one will always be one of my favorites.
I saw one of these recently at Cabellas. I remember the magazine ad's when it came out. My brother purchased a Winchester model 77 .22 semi-automatic.
Ahh the model 34, my favorite 22. As you show, the feeding is just amazing and satisfying. It has the same satisfaction as a control feed model 70. Never ever a jam for me, shorts, bulk, match, doesn't matter.
If you are really lucky you can find the Rem 34 that was the NRA special. Amazing wood and a Lyman peep sight. I bought mine in a pawn shop and it is amazing.
I know the Model 55 was a commercial flop but it’s such an unusual mechanism I’ve been looking for one for years. I was unaware of it until an article Gun Digest (I think) about 20 years ago. It’s a beautiful illustration of the diversity of thought in the firearm industry during the 20th Century. How anyone thought that a single-shot, rimfire, SMG was a good idea, I have no idea.
Thanks for another wonderful video!
Hey! That is great! I have never seen a Winchester Model 55. I love it. Another Winchester I can hunt for.
Thank you.
I agree, while the medium and larger bores (rifles and handguns) may seem sexier there is something magical about .22 rim fire that keeps me returning to them. I was able to recently purchase a Remington Model 34 in their NRA Target configuration and stumbled across your video while post purchase researching for more information. I have not yet received this rifle as it is making it’s way from the East Coast to Texas. Your brief review hit on the unique features that attracted me to this rifle and it was comforting to hear you praise this firearm. I’m really looking forward to some range practice and then helping some friends cull their rabbit & squirrel herds on their country property.
I’m proud to be one of your patreons as I learn so much, but more importantly am exposed to so much from your videos. At 70 I am not one of your young viewers, but even we old folk can enjoy a good education. 😀
Take care and be safe.
That bolt action .22 Remington is amazing absolute perfection in its feeding mechanism i want one they dont build 22s like that anymore thats for sure awesome rifle.
Great show 👍👍👍 I own a model 55 that my dad bought for me in 1959 at my age of 12. My gun is in excellent condition.It only has had around 500 rounds fired.I will give to my grandson in the near future. U are an expert and i enjoy the way U teach.
This is so strange. I was just thinking of these 2 open bolt 22s the day before you posted this. I've fired the Winchester 55 but had only seen ads for the Gevarm.
My dad bought me a model 55 in 1960 for my 13th birthday.I still own it and my grandson will soon be shooting it. My model 55 looks like it about 2 years old. I am a fan of single shot breach action like the Henry 223 caliber.Great show very educational.👍👍👍
Thank you for showing us those rifles. I was not aware of that model 55 and that Remington 34 is very interesting.
.22s are just plain fun.
And legal just about anywhere
.22s can also be scary depending on what they are being fired from. the American 180 for instance.
Did any American single shot .22 manufacturers produce a rifle that could compete with a WALTHER KK500 or ANSCHUTZ 1918 54.30 ?
I enjoyed this video, the Remington 34 is also one of my favorites. I have a 341-P that uses the same design. I will be on the lookout for a Winchester 55 after seeing this, that is a cool action. Hard one to search for with all the lever actions that will come up.
I am one of those who own a Win. Model 55 SEMI AUTO SINGLE SHOT as a teenager. It did have an advantage to bolt action single shot rifles. I later upgraded to a Marlin semi auto. Thanks for the video.
That Winchester 55 brought back a memory of going through my grandpas safe. I seen the bottom eject and I was very interested but he told me you probably wouldn’t like that rifle, it’s only a single shot, and like you I was very puzzled as to why they would design it in such a way. I love those weird 1 off .22s. Just recently resurrected a Savage 187a which is a member of the click-clack rifle family. These .22s are so addicting.
Wow !! That model 34 is really beyond it's time! That cradled feed ramp would have been amazing on so many 22 rifles. Thanks for sharing
Hi Jason - I still can't believe how excellent it is - and you're right - so early. Maybe someone can make these again.
Well I think a few of us have heard about the Rem Model 34 LOL It was my 92 yoa father's first rifle and as a kid I got a lot of use out of it also. The action is as smooth as silk and it's darn accurate. Fun video.
My grandfather gave this rifle to my dad when he was a young boy...he passed it down to me and is the most accurate stock rifle I've ever had the pleasure of firing. . .still to this day!
The 22 cal Rifle is actually me favorite. I enjoy shooting at 50' and 50 yds. I favor the older Winchester 22's. Loving that Rem 34, had no idea that style of feed was even made. Thanks....
Nice video.... I like the way u explain things in details.... for temporary marking or highlighting you can use chalk instead of lipstick or other things!!!
Marlin .22 specially the earlier glenfield models also have a ctrg guide as to smoothly feed short long and long rifle.... which I have not seen in any other 22s
In these COVID-19 times I've started collecting single shot .22 rifles like this WINCHESTER 55
Remington model 34 is a great gun! Made 1932-1935. We have Marlin's, glenfields Henry's, jc Higgins which I think is a Mossberg. All newer than the Remington, for accuracy, certainty of flawless, jam-free feed the Remington 34 beats them all!
After watching this video, I found my lil model 34 I've had for years. Never shot it nor paid attention to it until watching this great video!
ALSO.....Tnx for informing me of a model Whinchester 55...Never seen or heard of it before. Tnx to you, I went shopping and found one! What a lil thrill to shoot! Cool lil rifle!
i learned to shoot on the rem mod34 and still have it. was my dads. perfection in bolt action 22 rifle.
Bravo. Very nice rifles and a great little video. I have a pair of very similar Remingtons both model 341 with the same feed mechanism and I love them.
I enjoy your Videos...they are 2nd to none..I enjoy 22 rim fire rifles and small bore centerfire....Thank you for displaying your collections..
I've only been a subscriber for a few days. Absolutely fantastic channel. Love the 22 videos. My interest in old 22s was sparked by an impulse purchase of a Cooey 60 a few years ago. Obviously incredibly common in Canada, but relatively unknown and unappreciated here in Australia. Plenty of old "worthless" 22s are being crushed here because nobody wants them. It breaks my heart.
Mike, thanks for sharing another great video with your many fans. I’m luckily not going to lose any of my rifles because of the Canadian Order In Council. I wasn’t aware that Canada was run by a DICTATOR! I’m very grateful that I didn’t buy the Mini-14, I REALLY wanted to BUT never did. So, I’m enjoying the Tikka .223 I’ve got in a Boyd’s "At One" stock to accommodate my T-Rex like length of pull, (or lack there of!). Beautiful rifles!
My go to channel when I want the very best content. Your spot on about the love of .22's . Whats not to love about them !
Thanks for another great video.!!!
Thanks for being here and your kind words
Glad to hear your reply. Have a great day.
Thanks for sharing your really unique.22’s
I have a Remington 66 nylon 22 rifle that my first wife got me for Christmas in 1966. It has never missed fired or anything, A great little rifle and it also shoots shorts and long riffle 22 shells also very accurate. Thanks and stay safe. Semper Fi.
The nylon 66 22 L holds 19 22 shells with our a magazine.
I have the same Remington bolt action 22. I've had it for around 40 years, rarely shot, but when it was been used it was perfect, accurate & smooth.cool to see someone else has the same gun,they are very rare.
Hi Keith - that is a scarce rifle! You're one of few that owns one - I'm glad you do. Best to you.
I bought one a couple years ago, I love it but wasn't aware that it was rare
The Remington 621P Sportmaster had the same feeding system. Had one years ago that I inherited from my Grandfather.
I enjoyed your video very much. I grew up in the country near a river and I don't think a day went by that I was not out there plinking with my .22.. Your video brought back some good memories!
Thank you C-miller - memories come to me so often when I handle one of the guns I've owned for a long time. And good ones. Glad you like the videos. All the best to you.
Nice rifles, good review!
Great video - thank you!
Same here, Gary. I acquired my Model 34 from my grandfather. Never had a jam, or even a misfire. It’s still very accurate with the original iron sights.
Hello from South Africa I really enjoyed your different 22's👍👏I went once to buy a shotgun from a older gentleman but it was a single shot & very heavy so I was not very interested in it... Then he said he had a few other things to show me he brought out a Winchester model 63 semi-auto that was just beautiful and I very casually asked so what do you want for that he said R400 well I could not get the money out my wallet quick enough🤣🤣😂😂also he threw in a whole big box of all different ammo... I think you need to do a shot of your best semi-auto 22's I know ALOT of people would watch that thx for great info and great ideas and advice😊😁😁😁
2 years ago I bought a Remington 34 at an auction for $50 and in mint condition. Beautiful gun and as stated beautiful action.
Remarkable buy! A fellow collector paid $400. for a similar condition 34.
Winchester model 55 ,how interesting ,thanks again for sharing ,love all 22s ,respect from NZ
Hello Andrew - so unique and yet the board still approved going into production - thanks for the note. All the best to you in the great NZ!
One of my favourite channels! Always very interesting content. Thank you sir
ANOTHER Model 34! I got one I inherited that was purchased new in 1934. It's been my go-to rabbit/squirrel .22 forever. That little critter just shoots so nice. Shoots nicer than my CZ.
VERY NICE AND INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION THREE RIFLES I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE . NOW I HAVE STARTED A NEW QUEST FOR A NEW COLLECTION . THANK YOU VERY MUCH .
Just picked up a Model 34 today at a garage sale....Excited!! Produced from 1932-35, 160,000 made. I own the model 55 also.
Very nice assortment of .22's. I like odd and rare guns like these!
Everyone should have a good .22lr.
My Dixie Wrecked or...FIVE! 🤷🏻♂️
@@frufru0071 Or more!
Agreed, but I hold that you can't have too many 22 firearms!
My Dixie Wrecked I HAVE A MINT COLT WOODSMAN SPORT 22 WOODSMAN!
@@williamkeith8944 yes you can. It becomes a problem keeping up with them . This from an ex armorer.
2 or 3 hundred are a real pain to keep up with.
Thanks for your cool video!
I learned the basics of shooting on a pump-action air-rifle, and transitioned to a Model 34 when I was about 6 years old. It belonged to my Grandpa, and he would kneel next to me and hand me a single cartridge at a time, while I learned basic marksmanship. My mother learned to shoot with the same rifle, as did my siblings, and THEIR kids. I don't know if ever having a problem. . . a perfect kid's rifle!
Welcome back stranger , sweet little Winchester M55 👍
I have several .22 in my collection. My favorite is my childhood Mossberg & sons 151 mb and my pair of colt frontier scouts.
I have a model 340K Mossberg I bought in 1964. One of my favorites
I have a super accurate Mossberg 42m-c awesome training rifle with new shooters
Sadly I let a Mossberg and sons 151 get away in a trade, wish I'd kept it. I got it as an incomplete parts gun. Bought the parts it needed and made it complete, Still miss that for plinking and what ever I aimed at it but!
Yep I found a Mossburg 151mb replacing the front sight because of broken spring at a local auction. Feels like a real rifle.
Just want to let you know I do have a Remington model 34 it's in really good shape. I always love my 22s. It's great though that you have this channel and it's great for all the information that you present thank you
Very hard to find and one of the most interesting to see working - I'm glad you own one! Thanks for the supportive words. Take care and good luck!
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns I got one model 12a, two 33's, one 34, one 341-p (updated 34), one 511, one PRISTINE! 512 from 1946, one 514, one that has yet to arrive that is either a 513 or a 521 but was cheap due to a likely replaced barrel marking the listing as a 510, and a CBC 122 (Brazilian 511 that takes standard 511 mags).
And if need of good mags for 511's, check out csspecs they still make 10-15-20 round mags. perfect if you can get a deal on a magless 511, 513, or 521.
Vintage Remingtons are my passion 🙂
I like the open bolt mag feed one. That's neat. Open bolt is o.k. here in the states. you can own them. You just can not make a new one past 1986. The single shot auto was common here until they got collectable the you stopped seeing them. Great showing as always.
I miss My Winchester .22 pump that could fire any .22 bullet around ... great video and some damn fine rifles.
You could get a Remington Speedmaster model 572 if you want a pump that fires all .22 (except magnum) or the Speedmaster 552 if you want a semi that also will fire any combination of standard 22 ammo.
Hazcat 👍
My brother passed away about 4 years ago & left me a Winchester model 74. Now that is an interesting 22.rifle. I gave it to my son.
Yahoo! Another great video. Notice all toe coincidental similarities the Winchester M50 has with the M77, I own 3. From the typical stock shape and the beautiful barrel contour to the shape of the trigger, I bet they would interchange. Sights are typical of the mark. I bet the locktime is nothing to write home about. Again thanks for a fine video.
Very nice rifles, thank you for showing! Subbed and best regards from Sweden.
Thank you SuperLaplander! All the best to you in Sweden!
My dad and I have about a dozen 22s, Savage, Stevens, Marlin, Remington, Winchester, Mossberg and Sears. Semi and bolt action and even a pump action. But they're all tube fed. Things are fun and beats spending a lot of $ on ammo
I bought a Winchester model 55 single shot rifle in 1960 for 20 bucks new at the local gun shop. It was my first gun at 14 years old and my parents stipulated that I had to pay for it myself. I must have fired thousands of rounds through that rifle without a hitch and it was so accurate, I could throw bottles in a moving creek and pick them off easily. Finally, after years of use by myself and then my younger brother, the loading shute popped up and wouldn't stay down. I simply used Welds paste out of the tube and rebuilt the lip on the shute and it has worked perfectly for the last 50 years. I still own the rifle and at 76 with no heirs I will probably sell it. Greatest gift for a kid in the world and the memories are priceless. What a gun, wow.
Great post! Thanks for sharing. If the Shute breaks down when you're out shooting in 10 or 20 years maybe consider a new one. All the best.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing your profound knowledge!
Thank you Les. All the best to you.
When I was about 16 years old I was given a 22 model 34 Remington. I am now 76, and after countless guns, the old 34 is still the most accurate 22 I have ever owned. It is not for sale.
Every day i learn something new is a good day. Thank you sir!
Same here - and I learn something new every day : ) God Bless
Very interesting. Learn something new everyday.
I have a large collection of .22s, particularly European and Australian ones, plus things like the Winchester "Thumb Trigger" and Belgian "Self-unloader" single shots similar to the rifle you showed. I also own some Gevarms plus an Australian copy called an Angasomatic made in Angaston, South Australia. I would like to mention regarding open bolt guns, to regularly clean them, as on a couple of occasions after a day's shooting, a round of .22 has not fully seated in the chamber and I have had out-of- battery detonations, which could have been disastrous for my eyes had I not been wearing shooting glasses! Just letting you know, from experience !!
there was a clone made in Argentina by the now defuct Mahely,wonder why they made a copy of the strange Winchester 55.only saw a specimen back in 1959 and was for sale in a toy shop.... never saw a specimen again...maybe you can find a specimen who made it to your country.
Best wishes
So interesting! I appreciate you bringing those to our attention.
There's nothing quite like a .22 rifle....
Thanks Big Al!
AWESOME ! I for one Love .22lr :-)
I like .22's. I just picked up a Marlin 50, actually marked Ranger 34 for Sears, that fires from an open bolt. I've been looking for a Gevarm but like you say they, like all open bolt .22's, are hard to find.
The Model 55 is a great conversation piece. My cousin has one, and showed it to me back in the 80s. We were talking guns at a July bbq at his place, and I was telling him about my 22, and he says, I bet I have a rifle you never saw before. It's a Winchester, and it is a semi-automatic single single shot. I said I never heard of such. He took me in the house, and showed it to me, and showed me how it worked. I never forgot that rifle, and 20 years later, I accidentally ran up on one for sale, and brought it home. So now we both have one.
Great story and great buy Slick! So few knew about this rifle - based on video comments; they are a charm! Glad you bought one - they are so scarce.
My Winchester 72 a is silky smooth gotta love the old stuff no cnc or computer control keep the videos coming
I'm fortunate to have a Winchester 1890 in .22 WRF: was my grandfather/father/me hand down; now claimed by a granddaughter! Still shoots very accurately; I was savy enough to stock up on WRF some time ago when Winchester had a special run of same.
John in Maryland
Hi John - Nice rifle and I also bought some - but far to little - 2 boxes 😂
My local cabelas usually has 22wrf and one other local shop, I stocked up when I got my first 1890
My first rifle was a single shot Remington Model 33, and I've always wanted a 34 as a companion for it! They're very hard to find.
I know where a 34 is but the man would probly not part with it
My first gun was a Remington Model 33 single shot bolt action. It's just as accurate as it was when I inherited it in 1965, when I was 15 years old, It's too bad Remington closed their doors for good in Illion, NY just recently.
Very interesting video. Thanks and all the best from Sweden.
Bravo Sweden!
I have a severe 22 rimfire addiction! I love them all.😂
Not a true gun nut unless you have a safe full of 22lrs
I have to e a 22lr huntmaster. That is rare it is a 1935 model. And it is a demonstrator no serial number
Great video. What do you think about the Remington Speed master? I have a 1971 model with the 22” barrel. It cycles in semi auto every thing. Even CCI quiets.
I've got a 34P I've had since I was 8 years old. Best 22 ever.
Those are very interesting rifles I didn't know existed. Thanks for letting us take a look.
Thanks for being here
Very cool thank you
Great video, there's a lot of neat looking old twent-twos out there to be found.
great work
I was searching for an old Remington tube fed .22 as my Dad taught me to shoot with one. Recently attended a gun show looking for a similar Remington and came across a Model 34. Not the same gun I learned on but the $100.00 price tag couldn't be passed up! Took it home and I then learned of the unique "cartridge elevator" system. The rifle is in near perfect condition. Glad I happened upon it!
That's a home run! Bravo! Good shooting from USOG!
The first .22 I ever purchased was a Mossberg bolt action. Superbly accurate. Unfortunately it was stolen along with a Ithaca saddle gun. I had them stored at my father's house when I was serving in Korea, by druggie step brother.
my 1st 22 as a kid was an Ithaca lever action single shot L & LR rounds great shooting little gun, I'm 70 now and still have it.
I have my father's .22 that he bought used in 1951. It's a Husqvarna bolt action with a tube magazine. My favorite is my Ruger 10/22. I also have a Bronco that I bought used about 30 years ago. The Bronco is a cast open frame over/under, top barrel is .22lr, bottom barrel is 410 shotgun.
I think the remington 34 had a version called the "nra target" with a peep sight mounted all the way to the back of the reciever. I could see this as a great gun for bullseye competition or teaching shooters marksmenship back in the day, accepting 3 types of .22
😀😮😊👍🏼 22’s Are One Of Life’s Great Fun Gun’s Love Them All USOG
I have a model 34 (DOB 09/1934) which I purchased last year and recently shot it for the first time. It functioned perfectly and I agree it’s an accurate rifle which I plan to keep.
I have a model 55 that I got from my grandfather. He got it in the mid-1950s as a replacement for a stolen air rifle. He used it to shoot turtles, frogs and squirrels. I haven't shot it in years but love the memories.
Good memories - how easy it is to get away from the times that sometimes mean the most to us IMHO ...but one can always return.
Love them .22's
Model 55 had one, my first rifle passed down from my Dad. Semi automatic single shot firing from an open bolt.
