A couple of others that I pulled out with the Carbines.  A project for me when I get the time.  Think I may have posted this before.  Sorry if I did.

The first .22 rifles I learned to shoot with, were '03 training rifles (My dad had two) made for .22 long or long rifle, I forget which.  The magazine loaded from under the stock. They were pretty ungainly for a little kid, but I made them do.

Shortly thereafter, he bought a used 1942 Packard Clipper car, and found underneath the back seat, a Winchester model 74 in .22 short, that immediately became my rifle.  I have since passed it to my son, who has passed it to his daughter.  So this rifle has been in our family for many decades.
