Pump .22's Are Still Going Strong

[MiCo]

Mine is a Winchester model 90. I bought it for $100 a few years ago. Why so cheap? It was rusted so bad it wouldn't function at all. Wouldn't pump, hammer and trigger were locked up, etc.

I soaked it in EvapoRust and cleaned it off and on for 2 days and eventually got this.

Looks pretty decent and shoots 22 Short, Long, Long Rifle without a hitch. I like it more than my 10/22.

Can't believe pump .22's aren't available new anymore from what I can see.

Taurus was making one. Not sure they still are though.

I do have a Primier .22 pump octagon barrel.

I love any 22! I recommend to anyone just getting the firearms bug to get at least one. It wont always be so scarce and they are so much fun and effective for small game!

Here is my Model 12-A handed down to me at 18 by my grandfather from my great grandfather who passed when I was 6.

I would love to restore the wood, but am afraid it would take away from its value.
