Seems the rimfire bug is pretty common around here. No known cure but the palliative care plan includes cruising shows and gun shops so it's not at all unpleasant.

Nice display!

Thanks!  With the Kroil and copper wool, the only challenge I have is knowing exactly when to stop…..
  

Yeah, looks stopped at the right place to me! Maybe the ones you left need a second look! 😉
  

I’m actually going back to the store tomorrow.  I ordered an ammo cabinet, and I need to pick it up.  I’ll take another look, but since I caught the rim fire bug 6 or 7 years ago, I’ve really tried to focus on “high condition” examples of each.  Here’s a few more from my collection….

Very nice, and it is a 2nd Variation!! 
Per the PR records, it was manufactured 2/29/1904.

Leap year baby!

So it’s actually only 30 year's old.  Must be why it has so much condition.
