Would $300 be too much to pay? It's by no means beat to [bleep] and not near mint. For its age and used well taken care of. Bore looks good for sure.
It doesn't seem that many sell on Gunbroker(looking at completed auctions) when they get past the $300 mark, a lot of cost adders involved there.. But a decent one for 300 OTD wouldn't be too much IMO. Like others have said, great guns, a lot of fun. I think the 40's to early 50's 5 series 22's are overlooked gems.
