One of my gunshow buddies likes me and thinks I need to buy every gun he sells out of his private collection. He has good stuff and if I don't jump at the first price he keeps dropping $ until I have no choice.
He forced a nice shooter grade BL22 on me a couple shows ago for $320. I already had a couple.
I got on a bar22 kick a few years ago and bought 3 of them, a straight stock semi auto, a pistol grip s-auto and a .22 pump. Browning advertised them as "man sized .22s". Only on the market for a few years in late 70/80s and all Miroku made.
