Ruger Mannlicher! That's an oddity that will probably be one of the few collectible 10/22's some day. I've always loved lever actions if for no other reason, my favorite Westerns and no little more than that. I believe it's a Marlin because of the side ejection. Did others make side eject too?
Could'a, would'a, should'a.. I understand they will chew up and spit out anything you put in them. I went the more expensive and arguably less reliable EPC route. Realizing now that I could have bought a hi point compact, duty, and carbine for the same price. There's something super sexy about ugly that Hi Point has mastered. But I have an SKS to fill that niche.
It's not like they need the business. I'm still waiting on a refund from them on a return they received 2 weeks ago, no response from customer service. They filled a lot of orders in a short amount of time and no doubt need a breather.
I had two of them, one the plain wood like in the photo, and one a laminated stock. IIRC the early ones were called the International. I sold the plain wood stock (kept the action/barrel) and installed a Hogue rubber stock. I kept the laminated stock as I much prefer the appearance.
I'm thinking about selling it. 400$ a price that gun would sell at?
Depends on the buyer. Some people like them. $400 is not unreasonable if it is in nice shape - I suppose. I don't recall what I paid for mine. You can always lower the price if it doesn't sell.
Oh that won't be a problem; a lot of guns (and gun parts) come out of their plastic wrapper looking like that. A few minutes with a rage evening it out and absorbing some of the oil and it will look fine. I would rather have that than rust.
Suh-WEET!!!
That was an expensive delivery!
Report back please, purchased one last month, supplied mags are junk. I love the firearm though.
