I had two of these .22 semi autos but I also have two sons. So both sons got one and dad had none. Well until today anyway. Found one for pretty cheap in a pawn shop. Looked a little rough but even I was surprised when I took it apart.
This thing must have been working for awhile but it was the dirtiest gun I've ever purchased. Cleaned up fine after an hours effort, hope to get it to the range now to see if it actually works. (-:}
Hope it works after all the cleaning. I really like the 552's, not as "cool" as a 10-22, not as accurate as some, not as cheap either but still a lot of fun to shoot. I did see a much nicer one but it was way too expensive for a plinker.
Now the three of us can have some informal matches on equal footing..
