About 8 years ago one of my close friend's father was having a Yard sale. He had a old rifle that he did not want to sale to just any one. I offer him $5. He took it.
I knew nothing about the rifle and the time except it had a lot of rust on the barrel and it was a 22.
When I got the rifle some bugs had take up the barrels as a home after cleaning it out I took it out to the ranch. I was able to hit a finch at 50 yards every time. After about 20 rounds we called it a day and came home. It has sat in my safe for the last 8 years.
I was thinking about refinishing it and turning into a nice little training gun. I know I could get something else but I like the way this gun feels.
I was wondering when it was made. I have looked the rifle over and for the life of me I can't find a seiral number on it. I have a feeling I am just missing it but I can't fine one. Does it have one? Is there any historic value. I don't think so and it is pretty ugly. Any info you could provide would be great.
