Our Assessment: Dating from the 1950s, this rifle has sling swivels mounted on the left side of the stock, giving it a vaguely modern military appearance. The fold down fore end is some what reminiscent of the Thompson stick magazine, and no doubt imaginations wandered freely when young boys shoot this semi auto. Return to the days when your entire arsenal consisted of a similar .22 rifle.
