I've got an older Ranger 101.11(Basically a Stevens 87a, or Savage Model 6). I bought it on a whim as this was my favorite gun to shoot as a kid. I was thinking I would get the barrel threaded and suppress it as this has a unique ability to lock the bolt closed making it a "bolt action" single shot, or it can run semi-auto. I still think it would be an awesome suppressor platform but 22lr is hard enough to find and I am moving on to other projects. Would make a great plinker for someone though. More pics available upon request. Transfer will be done in Beaverton/Hillsboro. $150 + the BGC/ transfer fee.

Could be interested in trades, but cash is preferred.

Nice gun! I have a Savage A6. Not sure of your particular model but mine is marked for .22 long, .22 short, and .22lr. They sure don't make them like that anymore.....as a side note, I've heard that these have a tendency to go full auto after some wear. Haven't experienced it myself though....GLWS!

This one is only marked for 22lr but I've fired shorts out of it. As for the "malfunctions", I haven't experienced it with this one but the jc higgins model I shot in my younger days would do it every once in awhile when it got dirty. Sage rats beware

Any particular trade interest?

Very cool! How do you lock the bolt?

Very cool! How do you lock the bolt?

The bolt knob has two positions. In it's outer position it functions like any other semi-auto. When in battery you can push the knob in and it locks into this hole that I have circled here.

Any particular trade interest?

A 22mag lever gun is at the top of my list right now, but it's a really long list so feel free to shoot me an offer. I can always add cash on top if needed.

Have you disassembled the action?

Have you disassembled the action?

Only as far as needed to clean it.

I had one of these rifles years ago. The barrel stated that you should only shoot "Greased" ammo and that was something I had never heard about.
I did some research and someone explained that greased ammo means that the lead bullet was the diameter of the inside of the shell casing and a thick waxy lube coats the bullet, unlike the newer .22lr ammo in which the lead bullet is as wide as the shell casing diameter and the lube is thinner.
I always wondered if that was true, since I've never run across a box of vintage ammo to check it out.

As with all 22lr guns I had to do a bit of experimenting to find one it liked. Might just be that it is decades old but the vintage 22lr I had didn't cycle well. Works great with the 36gr rounds I've tried though.

Long drive from Chemult, I'm afraid. Too bad I was just in the area last week.

Haha. Definitely quite the drive.

 

[Member 66129]

I was just going through my truck and found a bluing kit I bought for this and some leftover 22lr rounds. I'll throw that in as well. FWIW, I just went out and bought another gun earlier this evening. BGC is sitting at around 2 weeks....
