My oldest is a 1976 Marlin model 989M2. My first .22 rifle. Still in good condition and shooting good today.

Only a couple semiauto rimfires around here. Oldest would be the circa 1987 serial number on my 10/22. Years ago a friend had a Marlin 60 that he inherited that supposedly was from when the Model 60 was first introduced which was 1960 (?).

I've got a Remington M24 .22 Short, with a 4 digit serial number, 24XX, I think that makes it a very early 1920s gun, maybe 1922. It's almost 100 years old, and the bore looks like it, as those days had corrosive primed ammo, and the half black/half smokeless stuff called, oddly enough LESMOK. It still functions, but could use a re-springing all the way around. The takedown is pretty sloppy, but pretty good for being found in an attic someplace. Somewhere along the line, someone broke the forearm and another one was fashioned, and it was reblued.
It's fun to shoot, but I hate it when it drops a case down my sleeve.

My Kodak 22 magnum was made in the early 60s.

Rimfire, centerfire, or both Rimfire and 22LR not win or rem auto. I believe the 1st production semi 22LR was the Savage 1912.

1972 Marlin 99M1 - my dad bought it for me used for $75 when I was in Jr High - shot thousands of rounds through it. Kind of wish it was the 989M2 magazine fed version....

My oldest would be an Interarms Norinco ATD .22 (Browning Copy). Not sure when it was made but most of my semi auto stuff is ~10 years old or newer.

I had a Winchester model 63 years ago. I suffered from temporary insanity and sold it to fund a minty Winchester model 90 in 22LR.

Gave my niece a rem66 Apache Black which put a smile on her face which turned into a big grin when my cousin then said "oh that's one of those BOUTIQUE guns".
