Just the one, a little Browning take down






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

my older son want to have a STG 44 so after mayn years I have now a 22 in the house agian. must say this are very clever guys who made this the market for such a .22 semi auto was more than ripe. it looks and feels like a real one and is anything you wish for the money today. wonder how many they have sold of this rifle till now but thinking it goes like hot cakes.
my son carry a heckler&koch g 36 at work and was instantly familar with the Sturmgewehr 44 design.







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.
