This past Saturday morning I decided to do a quick walk through at the local gun show. I was there mainly to witness the mania going on with price gouging involving "assault rifles" and high cap mags. What a zoo......... Anyway, I saw an elderly gentleman sitting alone with a few rifles he was selling. He had an old Marlin and a couple of Auto 5 Brownings. Also laying there was the prettiest looking Winchester 9422 I have seen in a long time. I asked him about this rifle and he said he bought it in 1981 and was the last firearm he purchased. I asked why he was selling his guns and he informed me he had no children or other persons to pass them on to and that he was "tired" and had lost interest, needing the money more than the guns. I made a deal with him on the Winchester. He told me he shot it for function ad took it out once more to plink with a friend. Other than that it lived in a safe. It truly does have the prettiest butt stock I have seen on one of these little Winchesters..... :D The pictures don't do it justice........

Wow, that's a nice find and I agree, the stock has some great grain to it!
Congrats!

Good luck finding ammo though...
 
Nice find there. Rare to see one with that quality of wood. My favorite .22 leveraction. I have one in .22 magnum that is real handy.
 
Dave, that is nice!

I just wish my "older" eyes could still shoot those iron sights on the top-ejectors. Or, do like Wyandott Jim and put the tang sight on them.

If we weren't a continent apart I'd challenge you to a friendly shoot against my "new" Marlin Mountie!

I like the Mountie and the Winchester, but so far the lever 22 I shoot best is the Browning BL22. Like you, it is getting hard to see the itty bitty sights on these rifles. :(

Wow what a beautiful stick of wood, nothing like some nice grain on an a nice gun. That would be considered custom today. It's a shame all the guns now look like they were all cut from the same bland piece of wood.
