10/22 International value

[Fire_Moose]

My boss wants to unload a few firearms and his ruger "mannlicher" caught my eye.

It's a stainless barrel with a cheapy scope. Serial puts it around '04/'05.

Looks clean from the pic but I have not seen it in person yet. He paid $280 in 2011 and certainly wants his money back, I offered $275.

Anyone know much about these?

Stock material matters. Some were green laminated, std brown wood, and I think there are others out there.

The green laminated ones run a bit more.

I would think you're fine if you get it for $300 or less. Check gunbroker also though, I haven't been tracking them for years.

Fire Moose;

If the gun is in very good to excellent condition, I wouldn't be afraid of going to $350.00. If it's a whim buy, then $300.00 is better of course. But they are a bit unusual and, given that you find the ammo it likes, can be nicely accurate.

Thanks!

Mine is the blued walnut (at least I think walnut) version and I paid 325 at a LGS two years ago. I absolutely love the ergos and the looks of the gun.

Id lay that against what you can buy them for new, with a lifetime warranty, from any davidsons dealer currently.

They are currently available. My $0.02

That's a beauty for sure! Like you I think the full Mannlicher style stock is awesome looking and would love to have one to go with my '78 vintage 10/22.

There is a current production Talo with a manlicher stock, A local gun store has one in stock for $599. they have had it for a year. A good price would be $350 or so.

The stock was actually bought with a gun in 2014 but I switched it over to my gun from the early 2000s that still has the all metal trigger guard and mag release and put a hogue stock on the new one for the girlfriend to shoot. I absolutely love shooting this gun. And with the long stock I can get a straight arm grip.

A friend of mine ran up on a good price on these rifles (SS Internationals) about 15-20 years ago, some guy he knew that had a pawn shop got some for $150 each or thereabouts, I bought two of them. I shoot one and kept the other one unfired in the box for years, my youngest daughter finally claimed it. I've generally had bad luck with 10/22's over the years but the one I kept is a keeper, it's very accurate and the wood is attractive, if plain. When I first got it I wasn't crazy about the Mannlicher style stock but it grows on you, they look strange without it to me now.

 

[Fire_Moose]

I do like those Talo stocks with the cheek self and basketweave engraving.

But I wanna help him out. I'll see if I can get him to throw in a 25 rnd mag and/or rifle sock.

Above are two very poor pictures of the 10-22 International I recently purchased from Bud's Guns for $297.00 otd. Note it has Tech 100 sights, and a leather sling and the stock is complete walnut. (the picture doesn't do the rifle justice as far as the stock goes.) The after market sights and the sling, were added on after purchase of the rifle, as it made a complete difference in the accuracy of the rifle.

I believe the $300.00 price should be very acceptable for a stock International, further note I also put a new 2.5# trigger assembly on mine, which significantly improved the accuracy of the rifle.

The old Walmart/Kmart International from the 80's or so were bringing about $800-$1,000 ... I picked up one of the new ones thinking I got a steal of a deal ($325) because I wasn't aware they were making them again. With the BSA Sweet 22 scope it's a good shooter.
It's probably a good shooter without the scope too, but I'm not

At one point I had a couple of them. Below flanking a Ruger No. 1 International. I sold one to a friend for $300 a few years ago and still have the one that shot best and with the best stock.

The Ruger no 1

 

[Fire_Moose]

I picked it up today and pictures will follow. It's really clean and great shape. Though a small wood flake chipped off at the back of the receiver area while cleaning.

I took it all apart to clean/learn about it. After having a hell of a time lining the bolt and handle up I got it back together but then noticed a sort of "2 stage" feel when cycling the bolt. I don't remember it being there before but I'm not sure.

Do these like it wet or dry but still lubed?

 

[stringnut]

The two stage feel can be caused by the end of the hammer spring strut being rough. With the trigger assembly out it can be lifted right out. A bit of polishing with a stone or sandpaper
can make a huge improvement. A drop of oil at this point can help also. Not the only possible cause, but, it has helped with several of our rifles. RImfire central has a good sticky that covers this in the 10/22 action section. I believe it is something about which way the c
clip faces.

A little oil, or other lube, on the friction surfaces of the bolt seems to help with function IMHO.

 

[Fire_Moose]

I checked out the C clip info. Mine was round and smooth and the hammer pushes back smoothly by hand.

The "2nd stage" is definitely where the bolt meets the hammer face but I did notice a small burr on a rail on the receiver but this was there previously.

Is this a cast marking?


How's this look?


Some Brown Sharpie should take care of this. Would it be wise to rub the stock down with this feed n wax stuff I have?

 

[double bogey]

Beveling the bolt makes the bolt cycle way easier, and standard velocity ammo will work well. Increases the leverage of the bolt on the hammer.

 

[Fire_Moose]

Bevel or round?
