My father had an earlier model. All f us kids were taught to shoot with it. He used it the last time we went hunting. Complained he needed glasses and still head shot a rabbit at 70 long paces when all he could see were the ears.

Unfortunately the mongrel prime minister john scumbag howard made them illegal.

I have the .22 in wanted when I was a lad. A cockie we knew had a Brno and to me it was the sweetest rifle in the world.
12 years ago I. Came across a Brno TRG in wonderful condition and I swapped a Winchester 92 in 32.20 for it. I was stoked by that deal.
I use it on the block to cull rabbits, foxes and white cockatoos and one day I am going to back the bloody feral cat that is hanging around the area.



I do have to get a better scope for it one day! A 2-7x32 rim fire scope is what I have in mind.



Not about a .22 but I have just heaved a Lister like that into the skip for the scrap man to take. Dad was going to do it up but that never happened and now we cannot find all the bits and after his passing we are having to clear out junk ready to move.

Here is my Brno Model No2:-







I also had the meopta 3 x scope for it:-



Not sure if I still have that scope of not now need to check.

And now a BSA No2A:-











The two holes are for a BSA bridge fitting aperture sight that was an optional extra. BSA also made a folding version of this for cyclists.


With BSA No8 Aperture rear sight.

I am resurrecting this old post with aim to present my .22 rimfire rifles, from top to below:

• Anschutz Model 1386 single-shot, manufactured and purchased in 1971, now mounted with a Nickel 1-4x rifle scope; my first good quality rifle when I was a teenager.
• MAS 45 ‘closed season’ or ‘schönzeit’ rifle mounted with a Zeiss Diatal 4x32 on detachable scope mounts; this rifle was presented to me in 1993. I was never able to assess when it was manufactured as the Manufacture d’Armes de Saint Etienne’s (MAS) archives are not available; I assume that production occurred sometime between 1947 (all parts stamped MAS, no reference to Mauser) and the late 50’s or early 60’s when production stopped.
• Brno Model 1, manufactured in 1952, a later acquisition mounted with a Zeiss Diatal 4x32; no visible ‘tgf’ marking.





I use these rifles extensively for shooting training and pest control, mainly magpies and some crows in my area, as there are not much feral cats left roaming around!

Anschutz Model 1386







MAS 45












Brno Model 1

Not taking away from anyone else's .22, but Lancaster's .22
STG 44 22 RF remains the most unusual and IMO desirable. Simply for the fun factor.

Yes- they certainly are. I recently picked up an Anchutz M64 or M65 I think it is. Nice rifle, good figure of fairly straight black lines.
As well, in the Spring, I purchased a Model 811 BRNO Semi-auto made in 62. It's in REALLY nice shape. Paid an arm and leg for it, $450.00 but feel it's a great deal.

the french walnut used for the mas is spectacular
most times rimfire rifles get only inexpensive beech to hold the price down and very few get walnut but this one have first class wood.

Lancaster, yes indeed, nice piece of timber unusual on .22 as you mentioned it.

Daryl, thank you for sharing your own rifles; Brno and Anschütz are names often quoted in this post! Your Cooey M60 is a niece piece of Canadian rifle making history; its nice to still own one's dad rifle.

Louis, I definitely like the MAS 22 a lot, very nice looking and nice timber. If you get a chance can you post some mot=re photos of that rifle alone.

Matt.

I also have another very early walnut stocked m60 Cooey which belongs to a now deceased friend's estate. This rifle and John's m34 Ithaca 12bore pump gun were to go to his son.

I holding them until the lad cleans up his act and with his mother's blessing. The boy doesn't have the requisite license anyway and it's highly unlikely he ever will. Drugs seem much more important to him at this time.
Due to his "record", his P.A.L.(gun license) will not likely ever happen.

The unusual stuff and guns our members own.

I hope to be able to share with NE members one of our members guns, a new modern replica STG 44 in 8x33 mm Kurz. Semi-auto only. But what a great toy to play with.

Hopefully will get some images and also permission to share them. On a different "non .22 RF" topic thread.

One of the good threads on the forums. Every big bore hunter needs a .22 camp meat rifle. For fun, plinking and small game for the cookmpot.

Thought I had posted my 22RF rig previously but seems I didn't.

A nice Gevarm E1 semi-auto carbine takedown. Fires from an open breech and not difficult to make fully auto, hence were banned in Canada and a few other countries.
Has a spring guide inside the action which can be changed around to opposite ends of the breech block spring in less than a minute for high velocity or subsonic ammo making operation with any subsonic ammo 100% reliable.
No firing pin or extractor, just a ridge across the face of the breech block giving two points of contact to the cartridge rim ensuring very positive ignition, misfires are unknown. Left hand lip of the magazine acts as an ejector as the fired case is blown out of the chamber.

That might be the same brand the father of a High School friend had. A German brand. He was German, served on the Russian Front during WW2.

His semi auto was a 22 RF when using sub sonics wouldn't blow back the bolt enough to lock it in place. But did extract and eject the used case. The bolt would move forward, load the next cartridge from the magazine, fire it and so on. Till the whole magazine was fired.

He used to shoot feral pigs with it.

By the time I met him, he was anti hunting.

John Howard stole it off him and probably crushed it.

The Gevarm is French made by Gevelot. If using RF shorts or low energy subsonics that do not recoil the breech block back far enough to be caught and held by the interceptor sear they will cycle fully auto. A mag full of shorts is virtually just one bang and the mag is empty.

This is my nicest bolt action .22.
These are internet pictures of rifles I have currently.

I have a couple others, Ruger m10-22 and my Dad's 1940's, M60 Cooey.

This particular 1710 Anschutz is listed on gun broker at $2,670.00. Mine is identical, except for a scope.

This is an internet picture of my nicest SA .22, a BRNO m581 made in 1960. Mine has a darker stock and thus, nicer looking(of course). I see this one I pictured is listed at $1,800.00.

A grade 9 classmate of mine back in high school named Warren, had a Gevarm .22 S/A. At that time, I had a Ruger 10/22. Had lots of fun with those for a few years, then we both bought CF rifles, his, a Savage M340 in .225 Winchester and me a Remington 660 in 6.5 RemMag. We both started reloading then - guess it was 1967 or so.

The top rifle is a Winchester Model 490 in 22 LR (little brother to my Winchester Model 100 in 308 Win).
The bottom is a Geco Karabiner Model 1925 in 6mm Flobert which is a 22 extra short or a 22LR wannabe.

The Winchester is a recent purchase and I have shot only targets. The Geco has been used quit a bit.

I don't know if they are still around but Rubi (made in some South American country, can't recall where) used to make a copy of one of the Gevarm versions that was also fired from an open breech and could be converted to full auto easily, apparently, so I'm told.

The Rubi Extra 22RF rifles were made in Argentina and were a poor copy of the Gevarm. They often failed to eject the empty cases leading to regular jams.

Voere made a semi auto 22RF, Model 0014, that fired from an open bolt too but didn't seem very common or may have been banned in some countries like the Gevarm was.
