tuesday, what model and whats it worth question? 22lr

[Island rules]

dont know much about this one, came through a trade and is missing its magazine. seems like a youth size semi auto is about as much as i can tell about it.

edit on closer inspection it might b a tube fed bottom ejected magazine. not 100 percent on that though and not going to try to fire it till i know more about it.

second edit looks like 139867 is the model number stamped on the bottom of the barrel but my google fu skills are not bringing anything up

SA22’s are very dangerous. You should send it to me for proper disposal.

lol that tells me i probably scored pretty good on this.
realistically i spent 50 Canadian pesos on this and was wondering if i should keep it. it feels pretty good in the hand.

Hell of a deal for 50 loonies.
New they are over 600.
Hard to say on that an old Belgian made one. Definitely more desirable than the Japanese made ones.

They have a pretty good following, you'll have to post up how it shoots.

Other than the copious amounts of liquor that is, seemingly, being offered as part of the kitchen table condiment ensemble I got nothing...

(board is kinda slow lately, apologies)

Late to the party but a Belgium Browning 22 is my favorite squirrel gun, made by the master himself

Nice score!

From my 2013 Gun Values book
"Grade 1, NIB:$850 EXC:$700 VG$600 GOOD$500 FAIR$400 POOR$350"

Everything's appreciated some since then, but that's a starting idea

So, just to offer more information and possible "issues" with this gun, if you can use the serial number to get DOM on the gun, that will tell you if you are within the salt wood year range. Generally its going to be 1966 to 1971-72.

If it does actually have salt wood, it will be much less in value. The pictures dont immediately scream saltwood , but id have to give it a closer inspection. if you want to pull one of the butt plate screws, if its real rusty, thats a tell tale sign.

regardless, its worth more than $50.

If if was made from 67 to 69 there is a 90% chance is it salt wood. You can check with silver nitrate solution. If salt is present it will turn purple or you could just remove the butt plate and lick the stock.
