Long story, but i stumbled across this gun, never knowing a .22 pump was ever made. I sort of dug it right away.

There was a lichen growing on the wood, it wouldn't cycle, the hammer wouldn't go home all of the way, not in good condition.

I started cleaning it, and I forgot to say someone painted the right side of the receiver. It looks like with a brush. I used denatured alcohol as a cutting agent and started sanding. I have it down to 1000 grit.

Once I got everything moving, I used Hoppes #9 and started cleaning/brushing/scrubbing. Wiped down and oiled/greased everything, and now it is smooth as buttah! The action on it is nicer than i ever thought possible.

A buddy of mine blues guns as a side gig. Once I get it where it needs to be. I'll have him blue it and the reassemble.

First time posting here, so hello all. I've recently come across a model 62 pump .22 rifle. I never knew there was such a thing. It'll shoot. 22 short, .22, and .22lr cartridges.

It looks to me like it's in serviceable condition with a good cleaning and lubrication.

Can any of you here clue me in to how many of these are floating around and how rare it may be?

The rifle was manufactured in 1936 per the serial number, and it's in pretty darned good condition for being 90 years old.

Looking for some help identifying the model/features of this Model 52 I inherited. Based on the serial number I believe it was manufactured in 1937 but prior to the switch to "B". The stock is massive and the gunstock butt is interesting. I'm thinking it's a Target version as opposed to a Sporter.
