Very nice. You have a good start on an attractive assortment of Winchester 22’s.

 

Do you have a theme or a plan for adding to those?   

No Sir, no particular theme or plan.  I’ve been picking up what catches my eye and at first I wasn’t really interested in the .22’s then I got some interest after reading posts on this forum.  Thanks for your comment.

Sparky,

Actually I’ve been pretty pleased with that auction house near you.  I do stay away from the guns in 2nd group as they are markedly less condition than the 1st/main group.  Regarding the Lancaster auction house, is that the one with the ice cream shop close by?  If so I’ve had recent good experience there but it’s a longer drive for me.

Here is a pic of my Winchester .22 lineup:  Model 61 .22 Win Mag RF, Model 61 .22 S, L or LR, Model 62A (pre-war), and Model 63.  I’d like to add a Model 1890 .22 WRF.

LOL. Interesting to see how all our various interests started and progressed.

Mac says he only became interested in 22 late in the game. 

I actually found myself with a couple of decent 52’s before I was a ‘collector’. I realized those gave me a leg up on covering the bolt 22’s. Got those pretty much covered and figured I’d go for the pumps.  Then came the semi autos and eventually got around to the 9422’s.

Only then did I become interested in lever guns. And everyone on this forum knows where that interest leads!

That’s as good as any. But could be a pretty high bar.

In the end, I was not able to attend this auction, so I do not how much these guns eventually sold for.
