I still have the box/papers.), and a 39a born in the same month/year as me, May '59, in near new condition found on Gunbroker. Nothing made today can compare to the quality of these two.
The 9422 is such a ridiculously nice gun it totally ruined me for every other lever action .22.

I *really* wish winchester would tinker with the design a bit and chamber it in 9mm, which would make for one absurdly popular little plinker...
