My first impression is “some new hire messed up a batch of barrels” but then I recall ...
I have a real fondness for old Winchester gallery guns. You know, pump action .22 short rifles for plinking at the fair or in the back yard. Twenty two short, that’s some obsolete stuff, boys.
I remember being a kid (50+ years ago), my dad using .22 rat shot to take out gophers in the back yard... rifled Winchester pump gun. They had smooth bores back then, I hear.
For a collector, it’s a curiosity.
I’m not a collector, but if I was- I would rather have a little single shot... rolling or falling block .22. ... such simple things but worth many a tree rat or bunny.
I guess this thing is for people that collect Henry rifles.
If I needed to shoot some gophers at 25 feet, I’d use my air gun. If I didn’t have to worry about discharging a firearm inside city limits, I’d use those tiny Aquila CB caps.
Fortunately, I have a dog who destroys the back yard far more efficiently than rodents.
