This is my first firearm. I was the fourth brother to use it in competition and it's been in the family since the 40's. I just found out from my belated research it is from 1937. (sorry about the bulldogge he's always trying to get into any shot!)

OK, here are my .22's: First, this is my Remington Model 24, .22 Short, given to me by my grandfather when I was about 10 years old. It was my first 'real' gun, and the one I learned to shoot with. 15 rounds in the magazine and 1 in the chamber: Load it on Sunday, and shoot all week! ;D S/N 35248, Production Code WU (August 1927) This is my Winchester Model 75 Target, complete with Winchester No.99A Front and No.84A Extension Rear sights. Accurate doesn't even come close to describing it. S/N 13181, 1939 Jim

This one is rough on the outside but to me has alot of charm yet. The Father in law just gave it to me, been in his family in Nova Scotia for a long time, likely his Dad's gun. Post 1920 Stevens 26 Crackshot, 22 Long Rifle. And finally I got a couple pics of great uncle Reuben's 22's he passed on to me. Steven's Favorite, model of 1894 now: And back in the mid 20's with Reuben: Next up is the Remington 12C that Reuben bought from Martin Arneson in 1928. Even found the note in Martin's diary when he sold it for $12. Now: And in the 1928 just after Reuben got his homestead at age 17. Hard to tell but it is on the saddle.

On the subject of 22's, found a Flobert rifle in super good shape looks Belgian to me and the owner said it was imported to England and marked for that. I was impressed with the workmanship similiar detailing to a pre war commercial mauser rifle but it didn't occur to me to buy it at $350.00. Then my wife and I ended up out gunshopping today and she saw it and loved it but failed to tell me until we left that she wanted it. I am probably gonna get it for her on monday but does anyone know anything about them. From what I have heard they shoot something like a BB cap .22 shell so if I get it I want to try it out a little before hanging it on the wall which is where my wife wants it. God forbid that I don't get her a cool old rifle even if the price is steep as geez I have overpaid a time or two when I wanted something bad enough.

The above photos are of the Flobert I was posting about just prior to the first pic. My wife went ahead and bought it just because she wanted it and who am I to argue with that philosophy as it has worked many times for me without regret. It is a cool old rifle with very nice workmanship and reminds me of a nice commercial prewar Mauser with similiar styling. It is built heavy and I would just about bet it would handle LR ammunition but I may just try it with some BBcap ammo and retire it to the wall who knows, as it is hers to decide about.
