Here Ancestry Guns presents a Modern Factory Boxed & Engraved Browning .22 Auto Semi-Automatic Takedown Rifle, also known as the “SA-22”, made circa 1990 by Miroku in Japan. The Browning 22 Semi-Auto rifle is a takedown rifle developed by FN Herstal based on a John Browning patent. Production began in 1914 in Belgium, continued until 1973, and resumed in 1974 in Japan by Miroku. FN exported it to the U.S. in 1956, and Remington produced a licensed version from 1919-1935. The SA-22, chambered in .22 LR caliber, was the first production semi-automatic rifle in this caliber, earning it classic status. It features blued steel and walnut construction, downward ejection for user safety, and has been offered in various engraving grades.
The SA-22 is unlike any other rimfire rifle on the market, because the history of this rifle can be traced back to the skills of the master gunmaker himself, John Moses Browning. Because of this direct link to Browning’s history, the SA-22 remains a lasting tribute to one of the greatest gun designers of all time. It has been offered in several “grades” of engraving and gold inlay and was designed as a lightweight and affordable rifle for recreational shooting and small game hunting.
This example is chambered in .22 Long Rifle rimfire, a very light and handy cartridge for hunting small game or just going out to do some afternoon plinking.
