New firearms volume 1 of many..

Looks like a standard Nylon 66 in Mohawk brown. Pretty common configuration. Fun shooters too.

So the last of my FN Browning's. Both are SA 22 take down rifles. They are both grades ahead of what I posted in the summer. **** near immaculate. Other than the recoil spring, they are easy to field strip and clean.

The higher grade appears to be a 1962. The other I cannot tell as the serial number does not jive with whats posted on the Browning website. Its post 1956 as thats apparently when they began serial numbers.

I bought a nylon 77 around 1968 when they first came out. The stock “clip” held five. I bought a 10 shot clip for it, but the rifle jammed with any more than eight in it.

@userfriendly this Nylon 66 has a tube mag up the butt.

Growing up i had never seen a tube mag that was not mounted under the barrel. Then I get this lot of firearms and see just how many actually were.

In hindsight I should have bought the nylon 66. The sport store lent me a slightly used one while my 77 was on order. Both were $69.95.

Made some time this evening to play with some of the collection.

Up first is a Deutsche Werkes Model 1. Its in great shape but at one point had a minor crack in the butt stock repaired and the medallion painted. Its pai ted but its there. One of the weirdest actions I've seen to date. Its bizarre but I can't wait to shoot it.

Then up is a 1963 proof Walther KKJ target. It has Anschutz diopter sights, adjustable trigger position and weight. There is some sort of brass Parker Hale brass storage system mounted under the pistol grip. Appears to house various front sights.

As shown in another thread, Winchester Model 99 thumb trigger. It was having hard elections with both short and longs, so that something I need to figure out. Neat rifle design for sure!

Then up is a Ross straight pull single shot shorter. Always intrigued by the Ross, both centerfire and rimfire. I still have to dig into some reading about this rifle and its history.
