I used to buy shotguns and rifles and reloading supplies from a gun dealer in Springdale Ar named Jack and Francis Bryd and I was down there onced and he was explaining how the 9422 was going to bring Winchester back to the top and I had never seen one but I got one about 1973 and he was right on the money about it. It was about 1972 when he was telling the customer. They are both gone now but they were old school dealers. Jeff
