my new US marked 22cal

Probably the most popular caliber firearm in most of the world. Many of us have more than one. They also are very collectible and still cheap to shoot.

Very nice indeed, its been on my wants list for years.

You can't help but love falling blocks.

Saw and shot one many many years ago, it was as nice as yours. The owner treasured it and rightly so.

Travelled a few hundered miles three or four years ago on the whisper of on for sale, when I got there it wouldn't have made a poker, not restorable safely.
