My 2018 Christmas Present To Myself

Post by Pete44ru »

.

I stopped by a local funshop today, that I haven't visited in a little over a year, to wish the owner (I've known him for a long time) a Merry Christmas.

Since there were no customers in the store, we sat & chatted for awhile, before he mentioned that he had found his late Son's rifle, and wanted to sell it & give the money to the Grand Daughter.

So, cutting to the chase, I bought it.

It's a pristine (no rust nor stock cracks/gouges, 98% bluing) Remington Model 121-A made in 1937 (4-digit SN) .22 Short/Long/Long Rifle pump.

I'm planning on trotting it over to my gun club's range soon.

Nice rifle.
And a marked similarity to my Winchester M61.

The COOLEST thing for both buyer and seller, is that it went to someone who will TRULY APPRECIATE it... :D

What a great little rifle.
I stopped by the toy shop today and walked out with a P-14.
British and then issued in Dutch East Indies.
Have been looking for one for a while.
Don’t believe in Christmas, but it was a nice present none the less.

When it comes to firearms collections and 22 rimfires I figure they are like Irish families …… always room for one more.

That's a beaut!

Remington .22 pumps are some of the finest little rifles ever built! I started out collecting various Model 12 versions, and the 121. They are extremely well built guns. That's a beauty!
