Well rumor has it that the Reising Model 60 carbine was aviable in .22 LR... However someone later on could have made "copies" using that caliber. That sounds like something I would produce if I owned a gun factory.

You guys got me digging in the safe, here is my first .22 when I was about 12. It's a New Haven (Mossberg) 250C. It is shown with a new 10 round mag, I still have the original 7 round mag somewhere. I had a Weaver 6X rimfire scope on it but it got broken when I let my nephew use it. I remember getting off the school bus, grabbing this gun and heading back to the woods behind our house whenever it was time to hunt or just plink.

Another great thread here...... Got a couple favorite handguns that see lots of 22 long rifle rounds every summer. A S&W 2206 TGT would be the preferred semi auto pistol......
.. And a Ruger Single Six Convertible for both 22 lr & 22 Mag. for twice the revolver fun.

I've never seen one, either..... Didn't even know they made southpaw models. They are world renowned for accuracy. I'd love to have one; even if the bolt handle was on the "wrong side", LOL.

Just to show you I'm not prejudiced against you right handers, I have a Anschutz in right hand too,

I'll have to go with my Remington 541S, the first really nice gun I bought after college. Have owned it for about 40 years and killed 100s of squirrels with it. My big brother has one that he has had for about 50 years and his kills number in the 1,000s. But my sentimental favorite is a Winchester 67. Bought it in a pawn shop for $10 around 1967 when I started college and was the only rifle I had all the time I was in school. It accounted for lots of squirrels and rabbits. I still get it out once in awhile to plink a few cans and it's still very accurate.

I'd also have to name the Winchester Model 67 as my sentimental favorite .22, as mine's been in the family since my dad got it in the latter part of the 1930's. Provided my grandmother with a lot of rabbit meat that was substituted for beef in her stew recipe, as beef was still pretty expensive and we weren't completely out of the Great Depression yet. It's taken everything from squirrels to woodchucks, by both my dad and I and it still amazes me with its accuracy using the original iron sights. I own a bunch of .22's but this was my first and when I'm done with it, my son's gonna get it... Here's a couple pix of it...
.. and a digital photo of an old snapshot back when I was helping my buddy cull woodchucks in his meadow.....

Nice 67 there with a great family history. Mine is just a late acquisition with no story, but is a fine little rifle.
Here is one of my favorite pairs - inherited the 9422 from my Dad.

had a chance to buy a new, old stock...time and money did not coincide. Probably the single best for an Appleseed...
I know it is a tube magazine. How do you load the tube?

Cap end of the tube swivels to open a slot to load the cartridges.

A tube magazine has an internal hollow rod with a spring and follower. You twist the rod a quarter turn and pull it out until the loading slot is exposed then drop the cartridges in through the slot. You push the rod back in and twist it to lock again in the slot and the spring applies pressure to feed the column of cartridges into the feed mechanism.
