Salvo I really like that trapper that thing is sweet. How does it shoot? I was looking at a 9422m at Scheel's and they were asking $525.00, but they ended up selling it. It dated 1984.
I got it at Jack Smith Gun Sales in Des Moines.
I told the dealer "your a little under priced aren't you", and he said "you can give me more if you want". This was the day before I decided to buy it (I know it was stupid). He says "he can't sell these older guns because all people want are black "tactical" guns that you can hang 10 gadgets on, and hold at least three hundred rounds and fire as fast has you can pull the trigger". That's good for me because I like the ones he can't sell and I figured if they are going to give em away I might as well take em.
Also though alot of people around here don't know what some of the older guns are.
I took it out today and man that thing can shoot. I was shooting at a pile of horse poop at 100 yards and I was knocking the s*^t right out of it. lol I'll have to see what it can do on paper when I get a good day for it. Oh, I was also shooting at 50 yards and it was doing great.
The 30-30 really gave me the lever bug.
He also had two "turn of the century rifles" for sale one Winchester and one Marlin, I can't remember what they were chambered in but he said the barrels were burnt out on them. The Winchester was $1200.00 and the marlin was somewhere around $700.00. Both had been refinished.
the 9422 does have alittle bit of rust on the reciever, and some of the rust almost looks like its under the bluing (if thats possible). What can I do about that? I think its rust anyways.
KRS, I couldn't agree with you more
Thanks, Clint
