I bought a .22 Hornet bolt gun from G.A. years ago.
The bbl. is stamped .22 Hornet. The bottom of bbl. when taken from stock reveals, written with electric pencil, " John C. Thornton Mar. 10-50 ".
No other markings,.. proofs or any thing else.
I do not recognize the action. The stock is quite nice in typical '50's fashion.
It shoots very good and attempts to hang with my 2 - 54 Annie. Sporters and Annie, Exemplar hornet.
It suffers from an old steel tube 4X Weaver. The bbl is slightly heavier than typical spotter weight, such as on the 54's. I know it could shoot considerably better with a higher power quality tube.
I save all the internet purchases, and if I can pull up the original ad I will post it.
Any info is appreciated.
Rifle is not now or ever for sale.
