I wish I could post pics of my dad's 2 old .22s I have. One is a Winchester Model 60 23" (1930-1933?) that he inlaid with pieces of cow horn. The other is a Remington Model 34 (1932-1935) with most of the hand-checkering worn off of the non-finger-grooved stock. The safety/cocking piece, whatever is supposed to be on the rear of the bolt is broken of. I made a pin to hold the rest of the bolt together but I don't think it shoots. I think the Model 60 still shoots but I'm not brave enough to try it. I remember my dad talking about the bore of one of these old .22s being so fouled that instead of bullets shooting out, it had lead wire squirting out.
