I hope to put up pics, eventually. :wink:

Anyways...i got REALLY lucky...picked up serial 290-37xxx @ local Gander last year for...get this...$240.00, minus tax. LOVE it! And people sure seem impressed with my "deal" (that know of such things), lol...wasnt a deal; i got LUCKY...they didnt know what they had, and i did...I didnt even quibble on the price, :D ...

This last winter, stripped the stock, as it was a lil beat up, and the project sat since (yup, i know it may reduce collector value some, but I've NO plans of selling, I like refinishing stocks, and since the rest is and will stay original, this will make it "mine", lol). I'm just refinishing the stock with much hand labor n multiple coats of Tru-Oil; maybe will post some pics of that down the line...waaay down the line, as I hope to do this one "right"!

Now getting back to it, my interest caught, been tryin to dig up info. I dunno bout the specific problems, but i know this model had some, right? Also, the extractor...anyone got a pic of a 1 or 2 extractor model, so i might be able to see what i have? Are there things I need to replace or watch for? I shot it quite a bit untill i took the stock off last year with no issues, and its a keeper, so dont want to damage it...

Now...anyone got some factory rings that'll fit to mount a scope, n maybe a correct manual and/or box for sale? :lol:

Those are getting tougher to come by and not getting any cheaper. Nice grab!

Came across the same thing at Cabelas’s last winter. While looking at used rifles, spotted 3 older used 10/22’s, all priced at $239…and one was a .22M. I wasn’t really in the market for the mag version, so I wondered around the store awhile thinking about it.

Twenty minutes later I go back to purchase and wouldn’t you know, another guy snags it right in front of me.

She's a keeper, too! Got an "SR" marked black "cobra" Sling and a Nikon Buckmaster 3x9x40 (that'll change) settin' on top...with this settup, and runnin' 30 grain Hornady VMax bullets, at 75yrds, all nine shots can cover the span of a quarter, dead center.

As a side note, I'd like to thank those in the classified section of the forum who offered to help with factory rings; especially member retired2006...they work well, considering the groups gotten!
