I'm in the 41-60 age group now, but when I bought mine,I was in the 31-40 range.

45 Badger: Your rifle was made in Nov.1942.The lock bar windage knob and milled trigger guard are early features and correct for that serial number range. Enjoy your new rifle!

Yes, A Stevens model 66 tube fed bolt action .22 . My father gave it to me when I was ten .

"Oleg , you left the toilet seat up again...."

About fourteen years ago , I was living above a tavern . A guy I knew walk in and told me that he was moving out of state , and wanted to sell his rifle- a Colt AR15 for $300.00 . I said "Nah , I've got no use for it " . :eek: Yes , I'm still kicking myself .

Another vote for the BHP...for all the reasons already mentioned. I have two , a '66 T-series , and a '94 FN . These are the only two pistols that I will (probably) never part with .

I too have a J-frame with the " J " in the middle of the serial #. "97JXXX" . I was told when I bought it , almost twenty years ago , that it was made in the late sixties .
