    I got one for Christmas in 1991, I was very excited about it! Shot it a lot and I still have it! It has the slightly short magazine tube (15 rounds?) instead of the full length 18 round.

    I have a theory about stuff that ends up being collectible. If someone doesn't throw away 98 percent of stuff over the years, the other 2 percent will never be valuable.

    Second that - cheap break open shotgun plus an epoxied in liner, modify/build up the extractor. Easiest way to go I think!

    22 R2, Lovell - old brass - can it be saved?

    I've got a bunch of formed brass for my grandfather's 22 R2 Hiwall. Some is loaded, and it is very old - I don't think he continued reloading after dabbling with it in the 1950's. A lot of the loaded...
