@tnoldforester 2 года назад

I have a 550-1 made in 1952. Mom bought it new as a gift for my Dad from Western Auto. Love this gun. It is accurate and shoots reliably, but must be cleaned to shoot the 22 shorts consistently. Cleaning is not that difficult. I have been doing it since I was 7-8 years old. This was my squirrel gun. I still love to take it out plinking. I taught my daughters to shoot with this gun and hopefully the grandkids will get the pleasure of shooting it too. So many good memories associated with this gun. So many yet to come. Thanks for reviewing this classic.

@ahdam82 2 года назад

Eric, He said you wanted to plant some flowers. Try planting some zinnias all over that berm or anywhere you want. Just throw some seed down in the spring. They are a hearty flower they will re-seed themselves and come up year after year. And they like your climate. I’m in NC and the do great very low maintenance. And loads of great colors!

@Jungles_of_Lustria Год назад

Amazing little rifle. Was at a Canadian Hunting & Militaria Show this weekend. Saw one of these in near mint condition with a great bore. Picked it up for $250 CAD so about $200 USD. Awesome rustic classic. "They don't make them like they used to" applies here!

@velocity550 2 года назад

I got a 552 from my father-in-law that’s immaculate. The wood and bluing are better than most 22s. I too have feeding issues after shooting shorts and have to clean the chamber for the LRs to feed reliably. But I’m just amazed that it can shoot just about anything. One of my treasured items in the collection.

@johndilday1846 2 года назад

I had a 552 for a short time. I bought it for the versatility only to learn as a teenager that I couldn’t afford to shoot .22 shorts through it much, as they cost about 3 times what the LR ammo did at the time. When I shot .22 shorts in it, everything was fine, but when I shot .22 lr, hot powder gases and flaming powder would hit me in the face with every shot, even though I am right handed and my face was on the other side of the gun away from the ejection port. I wanted it to work well, but it was just not worth it to me. I traded it in, or sold it off decades ago, and never looked back. I bought a Marlin model 39, and it would shoot anything I cared to put in it, and being a lever action, didn’t tattoo my face with hot powder. I think a pump action along the same lines would have been awesome. I have thought of getting a Henry pump .22 as a nostalgic replacement.

@sysop007 2 года назад

You can adjust recoil spring on back of receiver so it can run those changes shorts. I love mine I have 3 one 550 which is the oldest and first version and then and old 550-1 and a newer 550-1 with scope mount

@myronhornby1859 2 года назад

Without serial numbers how can I age my 500-1?

@Mopartoolman 2 года назад

A 550-1 was my first rifle, and I still have it. Dad bought it used in 1972 when I was 14. Mine runs the CB shorts flawlessly. The CB longs don't work because they cover up the floating chamber gap. I like to alternate CBs and LRs. If I'm at the range, people always come over to see 'what's going on'!

@@TubeSteakTaco A CB Cap shell is a 22 short with no powder, just primer. It produces little.noise and a low velocity. Cycling in semi autos is often an issue due to light load. IMO, ballistics.on CB Cap slightly exceeds a modern, nitro piston pellet rifle.

@rogerburrows4624 2 года назад

My dad had a 550-A he purchased in the early 60's that gun must have fired 10, 000 rounds before it was passed to me and the cost of a box of shorts was , I believe, .25 cents back in the late 60's.
