A Winchester 9422 with a weird finish for 275$ . . . Yay or Nay?

[gralewaj]

I'd buy it.

Is the finish actual metal plating or spray paint? Looks like paint to me. Take it apart and see what you have!

 

[Spats McGee]

For $275, I say grab it. I don't even own a lever gun, but I could enjoy one in .22.

Don't waste time on going to the local palm/card reader just buy it and play lottery/local casino as fast you can.
Lastly, change your THR's name for lucky or something.

would have already been home if I saw it for that price!

If I saw a 9422 for $275 my OP would be “Look what I got for $275!”

 

[Dr T]

I would likely pick it up, cycle the action once or twice, try the trigger, and keep it in my hand while getting out the drivers license for the 4473.

But I suspect that this conversation is already moot.

 

[Corpral_Agarn]

You had me at Winchester 9422

 

[DesertFox]

Hard buy.

 

[Hokkmike]

Yep - go for it!

 

[BreechFace]

Where is it? I'll go and inspect it for you.

I was not the first to contact him. It was sold around the time I saw the ad

But my Henry arrived today so it should be in my hands by the end of the week

 

[berettaprofessor]

I think I would dislocate my shoulder in my hurry to get my billfold out of my pocket

This^^ OP missed his chance!

Was it really $275?

 

[Atavar]

We haven’t seen pictures of it at home. Lol

 

[PistoleroWadcutterGANG]

BUY IT. Heck the parts anyone will bring 3x if not more than that in two - four years.

 

[P5 Guy]

No I'll add lever rifles just don't interest me.

 

[Buckeye63]

Buy it fast …

 

[Pat Riot]

People are so excited for the OP to buy it they haven’t read the whole thread to know it’s already gone…

Win some, lose some…But Hey, you have a silver lining.

Yep, and the other guy has a silver gun.

What I like about one local gunshop was when my son was in the market for a .30-30 336 Marlin but wanted to try the used gun on the rack before buying it, the dealer closed up shop, we drove to the club range and test fired it. Function and accuracy proved good.

OP's gun:

The grey finish (ceracote?) would not be a deal breaker if I were buying a gun for use.
Function and accuracy would be the deal maker/breaker if I were in the market for a .22 lever action.

But I got my lever-action bases covered. I already have a .22 Marlin 39A Mountie, .30-30 Marlin 336W, .38spl/.357mag Rossi 92, and .177 Daisy Red Ryder (for which I bought an eyepatch).

 

[Space Ghost]

No... Run away.
Could you get me the address for that shop?
