Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: RARE "GROOVED RECEIVER" MODEL 74 .22 LONG RIFLE AUTO RIFLE, #385XXX, MADE LAST YEAR OF PRODUCTION 1955. The Model 74 was introduced in 1939 and discontinued in 1955. Only the very last of production had the grooved receiver top for scope mounting. These are extremely hard to find now and this example is in excellent overall condition. It is fitted with a classic period correcct Weaver, El Paso, Texas. B-4 all steel scope. The scope has decent optics and cross hair reticle and retains about all the blue as does the mount. The barrel and action retain fine original blue. It also retains the original buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact. The front sight has been removed from the dovetail and a filler installed- no doubt it was picked up in the field of view of the scope, so removed. Even the checkered steel butt plate and trigger guard show good blue. Exc. action, safety functions correctly and bright exc. bore. A true classic from the 1950s and a super rare variation.
