I also have a 9422 Legacy, that pays homage to the Model 64, although it's still a carbine pattern and doesn't have a half magazine.

It's the only Model 9422 that I like with a scope on it.

I have been checking those out. I may need to have one if those!

You said "the only .22 magnum lever gun made at the time." What about the Marlin 1894M? BTW I have a 9422 from 1973 and a Marlin 1894M.

From the start, the action was designed to work with the .22 Winchester Magnum rimfire cartridge, and it was easy to scale it down slightly to work with the .22 long rifle round as well. It was the only lever-action .22 available that could accommodate the magnum round.

Great article!

There was a lever action 22 magnum that had been around since 1959 and it was the Marlin 57M. It was discontinued 2-3 years before the 9422 made its appearance.
