First off, sorry for no pics. My old digital camera ****** me off way more than it should have. I had to put it down before I threw it or shot it! If necessary, I'll try again after I regain my composure and possible after a drink or two.
Anyways, you guy's never cease to amaze me so here goes.
It is a .22 semi-auto with a tube mag.
On top of the receiver: Ranger 101.16
Left side of barrel :.22 short long or long rifle
long rifle only as automatic
Right side of barrel atent 2094577
Patent 2223093
That's all I can find!
It can be shot as a bolt action by pushing in the round cocking lever/knob. The bolt can be held open by pushing in the same cocking lever/knob. A google search brings up references to Savage, Stevens, and Springfield possibly made for Sears. Guess it's made by someone whose name starts with an "S"! Somewhere I saw that the 101 might be a vendor code for Sears. I'm guessing the 16 is in reference to the capacity of the mag in .22lr as, you guessed it, that's what it holds. From the front of the receiver to the front of the barrel is 23 inches. The rear sight is adjustable for elevation only much like your average pellet gun.
This thing has been in my family much longer than I have and I'm 37. No one seemed to know anything about it or really even where it came from! All I know is that it is incredibly accurate, reliable, and simple.
I have no desire whatsoever to sell it or even what it's worth. I'm really just curious as to what the heck it is just in case I need a part or something. I found another in a pawn shop today and if it was in better shape I'd have two of em right now. The thing was so caked in grease I half expected to find a grease zerk on it! Other than that one I've never seen one like it. I'm thinking Sears had something to do with it but I'd really like to know who actually made it. If you can find me an exploded view of it you'd be my hero for a couple of days!
Thanks and take care
