The scope has Winchester patent 1919 on it and I was told it was a kit when purchased to put on the gun.

Bushmaster,

Mine has a serial # and although I've never contacted Marlin to learn when it was built, it is likely only about 20 years old.
I bought it (from a pawn shop) in 1995, and it was in very good condition (still is). Couldn't find one at any of the metro Phoenix gun shops-they all had the 22 mag-so I called this large pawn shop and there it was just waiting for me.

Can Marlin tell what year they began using serial #'s?

I have a Mohawk 10C. It is actually a Remington Nylon 66 in the brown color with a 10 shot magazine or "clip" thus the 10C designation. It is the most acurate 22 LR I have ever shot. I purchased it about 35-37 years ago new from a K-Mart store. It was marked as a "Single Shot Shotgun", $29.95. I didn't tell the sales clerk any different. So, I took the "Single Shot Shotgun" home with me for less than $32 including tax. I have put a lot of round through it. Recently, the magazine with not stay engaged and falls out on its own. I am hoping to find a gunsmith who can fix it and not charge me an arm or leg to do it. Anyone know of a good gunsmith who works on these things? Remington no longer supports this gun.

The local Coonhunters here go nuts for those Remington Nylon 66's. Dont know why, But they do.

CZ 452 Lux Very simple and accurate.

All them CZ rifles are great shooters, Fella @ our club has a 452 Varmint 22 LR. He purchased a different stock for it and wins the 100yd egg shoots with it quite abit.

The good ole Ruger 10/22. Put a Butler Creek bull barrel on it last christmas.(just give your wife the right order number) Haven't had any problems with it and is very accurate!

Hey 204, is there a Gander Mountain store near you? They have gunsmiths there

Left handed CZ 452 American with a Leupold 3-9x33 EFR - shoots better than I do.

Brno model 2 for me. Earlier version of the CZ but with a steel magazine 'box' and doesn't have the hogsback stock, has a nice classic style similar to the 'american' but with a schnabel foreend. And shoots very well.

yes they can and so can you.. if it is pre 1970 model (roughly) say serial #695033 the rifle was made in 1969.. after 1970 they went to different method, of subtracting the number so after 1970 a serial #175433 would be (year 2000-17) or made in 1983

I picked up a Henry Lever a couple months ago. Pretty neat little rifle and pretty darn accurate with the open sights and has a very nice trigger pull. A whole lot of fun to shoot.-tr

I haven't a.22 but I love the Henry lever action my brother has. It holds 1moa @ 50 yds.

Is yours a Browning or chinese Norinco? I had a Norinco that was very very nice, I gave it to my Grandfather because he fell in love with it.

Crackshot,
I have a Norinco and just as you say if you keep it reeasonably clean it functions just fine. It is accurater and I replaced a part with a Brownging part and it fit right in with no problem.

My favorite .22 is my Ruger 77/22 in .22 Mag. It is very accurate and I have gotten numerous animals with it, everything from roosters to Feral Pigs and Axis Deer.
