I had a pump 22 my Dad picked up off a yard sale table and gave to me, that I used to practice open sight shooting. Decent looking rifle and I liked how it handled, but it was made in China and displayed a frustrating amount of mis-fires mixed in. I had it apart and couldn't determine the issue. Headspace maybe?
Anyways spied a Erma Werke lever action on the shelf at a LGS in nice condition. A Winchester 9422 look a like it appears. Made in Germany. Not a high dollar rifle, but I liked it. Traded that pump and gave them $150 boot money. Told them the pump misfires sometimes.
Ran 70-80 rounds through it this evening. Action works smooth as butter. Fed and ejected like a champ and no misfires with cheap Federal bulk ammo. Good trade for a better gun.
Shoots surprisingly well also. I'll probably take the hood off to let more light in, and might someday change the front sight blade. It's pretty wide and chunky.
2 of the better 8 round groups at 25 yds. Need to make some major sight adjustments, but I was just going for groups this evening.
