Picked this little gem up from a friend of mine today. It will be under the tree for my daughter. From what I have read these are quite sought after.. It is in absolutely flawless condition. Any info you all can provide will be greatly appreciated as I have just begun to research it. Here are a few pics. I'll post more after Christmas.

Re: Gem of a Winchester.. 9422
Wow it looks great! Super nice condition! 
Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown
1943 Izhevsk
1937 Izhevsk
1935/48/50 Tula (hex)
1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms

Re: Gem of a Winchester.. 9422
These are excellent rifles. They are quite pricey these days too. I almost bought one once in 22 mag once. I sure wish I had, but the 22LR is truly a gem in these. So how old is your daughter? These have no recoil, just like our Henry, and are heirloom quality. The gift that will last a lifetime.8-)8-)

Very nice.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

She is 12 . I have had her shooting since 5. She started out with a Cricket .22 and had graduated to a 10/22 . This one will add a new twist. Its different enough that it wont compete with the Ruger. She has a Ruger SR-22 that she is very skilled with as well.
