I can't answer that question for all manufacturers and revisions of this rifle because I don't have hands-on experience with all of them. However, from viewing other videos, it appears that some versions can be adjusted without having to slide the ring forward. On my rifle (old version) the tabbed ring must be slid forward before turning the adjustment ring. Previous to my ownership, someone tried really hard to make an adjustment without doing so and left the scars to prove it. Also, I saw one video which recommends adjusting the ring until the barrel screws in snug to the receiver, then backing off one click. I disagree with this recommendation. One "click" or "notch" of adjustment makes all the difference between a snug or sloppy fit. Thanks for watching.
I can answer that - you are correct if you have one that was made in Japan which I did at one point. Removing the forearm on those isn't necessary and it's easy peasy. However, the Belgiums don't adjust that way, the lock lever is "solid" with no "clicks" to the adjustment band. Fortunately, the poster showed the easiest way possible to adjust those - easier than I was aware of.
@@dj3114 Thank you for the answer. Since I asked the first time I checked it better and you are totally right. The Japanese and the Chinese (Norinco) both have spring mounted piece instead of a solid piece like the Belgian one. So they can be adjusted without removing anything. The Chinese engineers have made a very poor choice of using ball instead of a pointer (like the Japanese), so it doesn't provide enough friction. You have to tighten the ring pretty much each shooting session.
When my father passed, he willed me his guns, one was a Interarms ATD copy of the Browning, my dad always wanted a real Browning, but they are expensive. This copy was always loose, and scope would rock from side to side, after all these years with your help and some patience it now is tight and feels like a nice firearm and not a sloppy POS. Thank you for your video!
THANK YOU FOR THE VALUABLE INFORMATION on adjusting the proper fit of the receiver and barrel. I've got a 1961 with the groved receiver for mounting a scope. Unfortunately someone before me made the MISTAKE to grab the stock instead of the receiver taking it apart and putting it back together. Of course the STOCK CRACK under the stress that it wasn't made to withstand. I fixed the crack the best I can but have to adjust the barrel to receiver clearance. Thank you again for the INFO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MAKING USEFUL VIDEOS when people get used guns without a original manual with USEFUL INFORMATION ON THE PARTICULAR WEAPON.😉😁👍. I LOVE MY 22lr rifles and pistols. 😁👍
Thank you for sharing this rare expertise. Working on a similar vintage rifle that I learned to shoot with in the early 80s and now understand how to bring back into required tolerances.
I grew up with one made in Belgium and sold it.Missed it so much I finally got another one not made in Belgium for only twice the price.But its replaced.Got it when I was 7 Im 62 now.Thanks for the info also.
This video answered so many questions I had about the SA I inherited from my deceased brother. I had no idea about how it operated during its break down and the adjustment in play. Mine has no play to mention. Thank you for this most valuable video.
@@dauntlessendeavors1000 I watched another video about how to take down the SA and it was totally bogus. Your video was clean and correct. You really did help me out. Thanks again.
Just picked up a 1957 model Sa-22 today. It is like new, has no slop. But this video is an excellent source of how to information. Done correctly as designed. Perfectly executed and explained. Great Job!
Great Rifle - had it for over 50 years. Thanks for the info on tightening it up. Solved a problem that has bothered me for a very long time. I really appreciate it.
Don't mean to keep posting but I had the need to this to my Belgium today. You're method worked flawlessly. The white out pen is a great idea and gave me confidence.
Thank you for this video. I have a Belgium and last time paid a gunsmith to do it because I thought you had to remove that piece with the ball and spring. Now I know that you don't and have the knowledge to do it myself. Your video was clear to see and you explained it well.
I'd give you a hug if I could! I have one of these little beauties, and I agree with you 100%, the prettiest, finest, most slim-line rifle ever made, with it's sleek body, distinctive engraving and beautifully-finished walnut stock.....And dead-on accuracy once it's sighted in and with the right ammo. I have shot thousands of rounds through this gun over the past 40ish yrs and recently had to replace the cartridge guide spring, which fixed loading problems that had made it virtually unusable (unloadable). It has been a bit wobbly for awhile, now. Although it hasn't affected accuracy. I knew it was only a matter of time, but I had no idea how to fix it. Your video was PERFECT, and I am very grateful to you for sharing it! I also loved the iron sights on this little gun, but, unfortunately, there are more frequent days where that front sight is too blurry for my aging eyes to get an accurate aim. I fussed over it for quite awhile but could not bring myself to mount a scope on the slender takedown, so hubby bought me a 10/22 Compact with a special purple wood-grain stock. It carries a scope well and is handsome and eyecatching with that special-finished stock, but, I can't say that I really like it. (I haven't told hubby, but I'm sure he's figured it out.) It feels so clunky/bulky and heavy to me, even though it's slightly lighter weight that the Browning. I also find it hard to get a good cheek weld on the 10/22, in stark contrast to how quickly and perfectly the Browning comes up and into place. I have to force myself to use it, hopefully I'll get into it eventually....before my shooting days are over. BUT, really, none of that diminishes the Purple Pest/Plinker,. Obvious from its ranking as best selling rifle ever, the Ruger 10/22 is an excellent gun. It's just, IMO, there's nothing that can outshine the Browning SA-22 Takedown Rifle. It's a beautiful firearm in every way!
Just acquired a SA-22 and looking forward to lots of plinking. I have several 22s and particularly love my CZs, which are all bolt action. I do have a BRNO 611. a semi-auto .22 mag. All these are highly accurate little shooters, you may wish to consider. CZ also produced the 511 and 512 semis and others. Still many new 512s being offered online. Never owned a 10/22 but by reputation, not the most accurate. I have other Rugers (center-fired) but never warmed up to the 10/22.
It's now obvious that the reason I couldn't figure it out is because it's so darn simple. Thanks for making this and I'm sure there are many others that need to watch your video. I really appreciate it. I bought mine in 1980 and it didn't take long for it to suddenly become "my wife's 22 LR".
Es un excelente tutorial, yo tuve un rifle Browning .22 auto igual a ese, y si lo dessrmas y no sabes ajustalo se mueve el cañón y es muy incomodo, para eso es el anillo que tiene para ajustar..!! Ya habia visto un tutorial parecido este es una muy buena clase..!! Gracias por compartir..!! Excelente video ..!!
Its simpler then shown here. There is No need toof remove the fore end. Just Separate the barrel unit as shown in the video and turn the knurled ring a few audible clicks anti clockwise to the desired adjustment (one/two at a time) and keep checking till the dug disappears. VOILA!!!! I have filled one knurling groove with gold paint on the left edge where the knurl ring meets the wood to maintain the adjustment. Hope this helps all the lovers of SA-22
This is the third time you've commented on my video to insist that I am wrong. As others have noted, newer versions of the SA-22 have spring-loaded detents which can be adjusted as you describe. It would be fun to get together and compare our rifles. Perhaps then you would see that there is room for both of us to be correct. Take care.
I have a Belgium-made one with scope grooves on the receiver. It feels good and solid. I seem to recall that someone used to make a scope mount that attached to the barrel and cantilevered over the receiver, but I have never actually seen one, I'm not sure where the serial number is supposed to be.
Certainly one of the most beautiful rifles made; along with it's Remington cousin. A misaligned barrel nut on one of these rifles helped solve a murder. A lowlife sawed off the butt stock and the barrel to make a murder weapon. Since a loose barrel nut causes a headspace problem, the ejected shells exhibited a bulge, which helped identify the gun to the scene.
Have one from early 60’s my father bring home to Norway. Used it for year and was my first rifle to use in very young age. Very nice video how to adjust it for tightness but there is also another issue that can occur, if it have been dismantled it can be an issue that the barrel itself is out of correct settings due to load and firing. Make sure it is correct set up to the bolt and firing pin assy, otherwise it will only fire on time and will not reload properly, happened to my rifle and take a while before I find the issue.. It was the adjustment ring there was to far into end of barrel, had to adjust it further out until barrel end tap correct to bolt..
Hi from the UK ,I have the Norinco version and absolutely love it just a genius bit of design but I do have the little scars from hot casings down my sleeve.
I got one of those my dad gave me when i was 14. Broke fingers on my left hand and had a cast with an open top. Went shooting and on first shot hot brass went into open to cast.
Hace 30 años que tengo un rifle browning similar a este con el cañon flojo y pensaba que era por su antiguedad ya que es de la decada del 50 y era irreparable. gracias. Ya estoy llendo a ajustarlo.
Thank you and greetings from Finland! I have been wondering 40 years what to do. 🫢 Got it from my uncle 1984 before his death. Purchased about 1925, serial number 52xxx, top feeding. Now feels like a new one.
I apologize for my late reply. The rear wheel sight adjusts the elevation of your point of impact. It will only turn in one direction. I believe #1 is the lowest and #4 is the highest setting. If you keep turning it, you'll just go back to #1 and start over again. Simply shoot a group at your preferred range and adjust as necessary. Remember, move you rear sight in the direction that you want to point of impact on the target to move.
No offence meant. I remembered and tried looking for my old post and since couldn’t find it I commented thinking this was by different you tuber .it’s common for SA owners to go through this drill to tighten up the rifle as you do.I too learnt the hard way. My apology once again. Cheers!!
Thank you for your informative video, I found it VERY BENEFICIAL to me. I recently bought a Belgium one from 1960 something. The stock was CRACKED because someone took it apart holding it in the WRONG PLACES, which I heard is very common. I did get it fairly inexpensive ($369.95+ tax).🤔😯😁😎 .
The one I have made in Japan does not have ther extra adjustment ring. You simply seperate the rifle, then slowly adjust the one knurled ring counter clockwise till it tightens up to the receiver when mate the two pieces back up. I inherited mine from my Father and it was very loose but your video gave me the info I needed although the Japanese model did away with the extra piece.
Thanks for this. I have a Belgium made and the stock is coming loose from the receiver. i assume this is an easy fix once the bolt carrier is removed but I’ve never stripped this gun. Any words of wisdom?
Ty that was really helpful, do you know if the sa22 parts will work on the interarms rifle my grandpa died and I'm trying to fix it for my dad's 75th birthday coming up?
I suspect many of the parts will interchange but I don't know that for sure and I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction. Good luck with your project. I'll bet your dad would really appreciate a gift like that.
@@dauntlessendeavors1000 I did the adjustment you teach in this video worked like a charm thank you hopefully the parts will work keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 if not back to the drawing board
Nice video.. i have a 1T model I inherited and can't seem to twist off that barrel.. Any ideas.. I using some penetrating oil and brake free, but if there's something else i can do let me know.. Love the video.. Explained my whole gun to me.
It should function reliably with "high" or "standard" velocity ammunition, which is typically just under 1100 fps. Thank you for your compliment and have a great day.
I've had my Belgian for 5 years. I saw you adjusting the barrel and dcided to try your fix. Went well, except I dropped the gnurled wheel on the carpet and could find the retainer screw. Any idea where I can get a replacement, or will I have to machine a new one.? Thanks
I would begin by contacting Browning customer service. Some viewers have mentioned "upgrading" their rifles to the newer adjustment style. I don't know if that really is an option but it would be worth checking with Browning.
I own a interarms 22 ATD lost the barrel plunger and spring is it safe to shoot will it eject the shells its the peice in the middle where you take it apart
So, whenever I take mine apart (I have a early 70's Japanese model) the ring lock slide falls off and I lose my spring. I have ordered a replacement for both, but wonder if I have my barrel adjustment off that could be causing that.
What is a better, a new Made in Japan riffle, or a used Made in Belguin riffle?? I am wanting to buy one , but not sure if there is a major difference between the both.
I don't have personal experience with Japanese rifles but they tend to be well-regarded and of very good quality. If looking at used, the condition is everything. I think you will be pleased with either choice. Enjoy!
I have Browning.22 LR and its loose. It never misfired until recently when I tried KF & CCI rounds. (These 10 rounds are some 4-5 years old and kept in open cartridge carrier) Is this the reason for misfire or the loose joint?
It is nearly impossible to diagnose malfunctions over the internet. Is the gun just barely loose or is it an entire thread loose? Is the gun dirty or rusty? Five-year-old ammo isn't old, unless its been stored in high temperatures, like on the dashboard of your vehicle in the sun. Your best bet is to have a gunsmith look it over. Thanks for watching.
The wheel is for adjusting elevation. You should be able to turn it in one direction only. Each of the four clicks changes your elevation and then starts all over again as you continue to rotate the wheel. Thanks for watching.
Without seeing it, it is tough to say. It could just be extremely tight, filthy, or rusty. If it hasn't been apart in several decades, it could just be old oil that has hardened. Try twisting the barrel tighter while pushing the takedown tab; this could help reduce the tension on the tab. Remember to pull the bolt back slightly before turning the barrel off.
Excelente exposición del modelo de rifle fabricado por FN Bélgica. Tiene diferente la mira trasera al modelo actual. Yo tengo uno de mí padre. Necesito el tornillo de elevación y reguladores circular de la mira que sé extravió Donde lo puedo adquirir. Soy de Tegucigalpa, Honduras José Ángel Guerrero Pavón. Es un bello recuerdo de mi padre. Les agradeceré indicarme Dónde puedo adquirir el tornillo y la Barilla de carga del rifle. Gracias
My daughter just taught me how to use google translate; now I've joined the 21st century. Ha ha. I'm sorry but I don't have many suggestions for a replacement rear sight wheel. Try Numrich arms or keep checking ebay. Unfortunately, I don't know what the import laws are for your country. With kind regards.
I have a rifle similar to this one but out of nowhere it stopped feeding the ammunition, sometimes it feeds but it doesn't close completely, could it be a spring? and all cleaning is up to date on the equipment, can anyone help me?
I believe you can still buy new Browning SA22's but they haven't been manufactured in Belgium since the mid-70's. As far as I know, they are made in Japan and are still of very good quality. Thanks for watching.

hey everyone I have multiple questions, I have x2 of the back half of gun only, I believe both are model 24, and one of each long and short bullet, I need barrels and forearm grips for both, i found a forearm grip for a long 22, but will it fit either barrel?, and my other questions are, I see these adjustment rings, but I see larger single adjustment rings too, are the barrels the same, and will either style fit mine?, i do not have the receiver with the adjustable guts, it's fixed, and no markings on receiver except right under barral hole, there's a patent number or something, one receiver has 4 numbers, the other has 5, are the forearm grips the same for all versions? 24-late241?, my next question is, what parts will swap off the browning sa 22?, will the barrel and forearm grip fit my remington 24? anyone got a barral or two that don't have a bulge 4" up from threads??, i found a complete parts gun, but the barrel has a large bulge in it and i dont want to pay the ffl fees and register something Im going to trash as the serial numbers are on barrel from what im told, thanks for any info
Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with the two brands and their various models to make any statements about part inter-compatibility. There are other experts on the internet and youtube who may be able to help you. Good luck with your project.
It probably will tend to loosen up on you, decreasing accuracy and increasing headspace. Please contact the manufacturer to order replacement parts or have your gunsmith repair it for you.
Just remove the fore end stock then turn the knurled ring nut, the spring pin will let the nut rotate with a little force, turn till tight then replace the for end stock, no need to take the barrel off or slip the ring back.
@@dauntlessendeavors1000 I have a pretty 56 Belgium works great as I described, in fact just cause I tried it as you described and it finally took 3 hands to get it back together, the spring pin dropped down to low and I could not get the ring pushed back in place.
I really want to like this; but point it up at a squirrel, hold the hand piece a little closer….and that bottom ejection of the hot shell case stands a pretty good chance of going down your shirt. Ask me how I know😂. Nor does it have anywhere to hook a strap to.
I have a sa22 and I have found out that some of the problem is not the barrel but the stock and the other way to make it tight to tighten the mag tube, find out what is loose, Eck usmc
Shouldn't you be able to ajust the ring "click by click" without removing anything?

Have one from early 60’s my father bring home to Norway. Used it for year and was my first rifle to use in very young age. Very nice video how to adjust it for tightness but there is also another issue that can occur, if it have been dismantled it can be an issue that the barrel itself is out of correct settings due to load and firing. Make sure it is correct set up to the bolt and firing pin assy, otherwise it will only fire on time and will not reload properly, happened to my rifle and take a while before I find the issue.. It was the adjustment ring there was to far into end of barrel, had to adjust it further out until barrel end tap correct to bolt..
I think you are saying that it is possible to be 1 full-turn off and, yes, it would cause malfunctions. Thanks for sharing.
Hi from the UK ,I have the Norinco version and absolutely love it just a genius bit of design but I do have the little scars from hot casings down my sleeve.

John M Browning figured things out pretty good. I think that rifle was designed in the early 1920s
Another great review.
Sir-excellent video-I have one like yours with a wheel sight-how do you adjust the sight as I have no manual-Thanks
I apologize for my late reply. The rear wheel sight adjusts the elevation of your point of impact. It will only turn in one direction. I believe #1 is the lowest and #4 is the highest setting. If you keep turning it, you'll just go back to #1 and start over again. Simply shoot a group at your preferred range and adjust as necessary. Remember, move you rear sight in the direction that you want to point of impact on the target to move.
No offence meant. I remembered and tried looking for my old post and since couldn’t find it I commented thinking this was by different you tuber .it’s common for SA owners to go through this drill to tighten up the rifle as you do.I too learnt the hard way. My apology once again. Cheers!!
Thank you for your informative video, I found it VERY BENEFICIAL to me. I recently bought a Belgium one from 1960 something. The stock was CRACKED because someone took it apart holding it in the WRONG PLACES, which I heard is very common. I did get it fairly inexpensive ($369.95+ tax).🤔😯😁😎
.
I have a Belgium and I adjust it without removing the forearm or the takedown. just did it yesterday.
That is very interesting. Obviously, there are differences even among the Belgium Brownings. Thank you for your note.
The one I have made in Japan does not have ther extra adjustment ring. You simply seperate the rifle, then slowly adjust the one knurled ring counter clockwise till it tightens up to the receiver when mate the two pieces back up. I inherited mine from my Father and it was very loose but your video gave me the info I needed although the Japanese model did away with the extra piece.
Thanks for your note. It has been interesting to learn how many variations there are, both from different eras and manufacturers.
Great info! Thanks
thank you so much for this video. Kerp them coming
Really well explained !!!
Thank you for your compliment.
Thank-you and my Browning thanks you.
You are very welcome, I'm glad the video was helpful.
Thanks for this. I have a Belgium made and the stock is coming loose from the receiver. i assume this is an easy fix once the bolt carrier is removed but I’ve never stripped this gun. Any words of wisdom?
Ty that was really helpful, do you know if the sa22 parts will work on the interarms rifle my grandpa died and I'm trying to fix it for my dad's 75th birthday coming up?
I suspect many of the parts will interchange but I don't know that for sure and I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction. Good luck with your project. I'll bet your dad would really appreciate a gift like that.
@@dauntlessendeavors1000 I did the adjustment you teach in this video worked like a charm thank you hopefully the parts will work keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 if not back to the drawing board
best 22 i ever owned
Superb quality of sa 22lr riflé it's semi automatic, nice info given to me. I am from mumbai india
Nice video.. i have a 1T model I inherited and can't seem to twist off that barrel.. Any ideas.. I using some penetrating oil and brake free, but if there's something else i can do let me know.. Love the video.. Explained my whole gun to me.
I am sorry but I don't know what the 1T model is. Perahps, if you email a couple pictures to me, I could offer a suggestion. Thanks.
Very helpful thanks
Thanks for this video
Good for another 100 yrs. 👍
I do not have one. But this good to know if i ever get one. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for your note. If you ever do buy one, I think you'll enjoy it.
great video sir
Thank you very much for the compliment.
Nice video! Will this .22 handle sub-sunic or "quiet" rounds? Thnx..
It should function reliably with "high" or "standard" velocity ammunition, which is typically just under 1100 fps. Thank you for your compliment and have a great day.
I've had my Belgian for 5 years. I saw you adjusting the barrel and dcided to try your fix. Went well, except I dropped the gnurled wheel on the carpet and could find the retainer screw. Any idea where I can get a replacement, or will I have to machine a new one.? Thanks
I would begin by contacting Browning customer service. Some viewers have mentioned "upgrading" their rifles to the newer adjustment style. I don't know if that really is an option but it would be worth checking with Browning.
Thank You a LOT
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching.
I own a interarms 22 ATD lost the barrel plunger and spring is it safe to shoot will it eject the shells its the peice in the middle where you take it apart
So, whenever I take mine apart (I have a early 70's Japanese model) the ring lock slide falls off and I lose my spring. I have ordered a replacement for both, but wonder if I have my barrel adjustment off that could be causing that.
Hmmm, that doesn't sound right. It may be best to have a gunsmith examine it. It shouldn't fall apart on you just from separating the barrel/receiver.
What is a better, a new Made in Japan riffle, or a used Made in Belguin riffle?? I am wanting to buy one , but not sure if there is a major difference between the both.
I don't have personal experience with Japanese rifles but they tend to be well-regarded and of very good quality. If looking at used, the condition is everything. I think you will be pleased with either choice. Enjoy!
I have Browning.22 LR and its loose. It never misfired until recently when I tried KF & CCI rounds. (These 10 rounds are some 4-5 years old and kept in open cartridge carrier)
Is this the reason for misfire or the loose joint?
It is nearly impossible to diagnose malfunctions over the internet. Is the gun just barely loose or is it an entire thread loose? Is the gun dirty or rusty? Five-year-old ammo isn't old, unless its been stored in high temperatures, like on the dashboard of your vehicle in the sun. Your best bet is to have a gunsmith look it over. Thanks for watching.
Sir-how is the wheel utilized or sighted in on the browning-I have one without a manual-Thanks
The wheel is for adjusting elevation. You should be able to turn it in one direction only. Each of the four clicks changes your elevation and then starts all over again as you continue to rotate the wheel. Thanks for watching.
Thanks great video
Great information go job
Thanks for watching
Hoping you may be able to help. Just got my SA-22 shipped to me and the barrel will not release. Serial number 8T xxxxx. Any thoughts. TIA
Without seeing it, it is tough to say. It could just be extremely tight, filthy, or rusty. If it hasn't been apart in several decades, it could just be old oil that has hardened. Try twisting the barrel tighter while pushing the takedown tab; this could help reduce the tension on the tab. Remember to pull the bolt back slightly before turning the barrel off.
bom dia tenho um Browning sera que conseguiria comprar essas 2 pesar de travamento do cano com a culatra
the bottom ejecting feature is absolutely a positive feature and when yr hunting in a vehicle the rounds shells dont fly all over the place
Road hunting? Poaching maybe?
I have an d Belgium but can't find a replacement stock
Try Art’s. Or Midwest Gun.
Excelente exposición del modelo de rifle fabricado por FN Bélgica. Tiene diferente la mira trasera al modelo actual. Yo tengo uno de mí padre. Necesito el tornillo de elevación y reguladores circular de la mira que sé extravió Donde lo puedo adquirir. Soy de Tegucigalpa, Honduras José Ángel Guerrero Pavón. Es un bello recuerdo de mi padre. Les agradeceré indicarme Dónde puedo adquirir el tornillo y la Barilla de carga del rifle. Gracias
My daughter just taught me how to use google translate; now I've joined the 21st century. Ha ha.
I'm sorry but I don't have many suggestions for a replacement rear sight wheel. Try Numrich arms or keep checking ebay. Unfortunately, I don't know what the import laws are for your country. With kind regards.
I have a rifle similar to this one but out of nowhere it stopped feeding the ammunition, sometimes it feeds but it doesn't close completely, could it be a spring? and all cleaning is up to date on the equipment, can anyone help me?
Tenho uma dessa mas só que o extrator deu problema
Thank you!
RSA.
Great vedio,
Can you still buy this browning 22 auto from Belgem?
I believe you can still buy new Browning SA22's but they haven't been manufactured in Belgium since the mid-70's. As far as I know, they are made in Japan and are still of very good quality. Thanks for watching.
Excelente exposición del rifle modelo hecho por FN Bélgica, tipo de mira diferente al modelo actual. Tengo uno de ése mismo modelo. Necesito reparar la mira trasera se perdió el tornillo circular que eleva el Alza mira y calibra la mira en yardas. Donde lo puedo adquirir. De Tegucigalpa, Honduras C. A. mi nombre José Ángel Guerrero Pavón Gracias.
Thank you sir
Yes I did like it,, thank you…..
hey everyone I have multiple questions, I have x2 of the back half of gun only, I believe both are model 24, and one of each long and short bullet, I need barrels and forearm grips for both, i found a forearm grip for a long 22, but will it fit either barrel?, and my other questions are, I see these adjustment rings, but I see larger single adjustment rings too, are the barrels the same, and will either style fit mine?, i do not have the receiver with the adjustable guts, it's fixed, and no markings on receiver except right under barral hole, there's a patent number or something, one receiver has 4 numbers, the other has 5, are the forearm grips the same for all versions? 24-late241?, my next question is, what parts will swap off the browning sa 22?, will the barrel and forearm grip fit my remington 24? anyone got a barral or two that don't have a bulge 4" up from threads??, i found a complete parts gun, but the barrel has a large bulge in it and i dont want to pay the ffl fees and register something Im going to trash as the serial numbers are on barrel from what im told, thanks for any info
Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with the two brands and their various models to make any statements about part inter-compatibility. There are other experts on the internet and youtube who may be able to help you. Good luck with your project.
@@dauntlessendeavors1000 👍, thanks
where you break it down i lost the spring and plunger is still safe to shoot
It probably will tend to loosen up on you, decreasing accuracy and increasing headspace. Please contact the manufacturer to order replacement parts or have your gunsmith repair it for you.
@@dauntlessendeavors1000 yeah it wont eject the shells you wouldnt have a part number for spring and plunger
It took me a couple of days but I found out that it was the reciver that was loose not the barrel Eck usmc
Just remove the fore end stock then turn the knurled ring nut, the spring pin will let the nut rotate with a little force, turn till tight then replace the for end stock, no need to take the barrel off or slip the ring back.
The newer versions are designed like you describe but not the older models.
@@dauntlessendeavors1000 I have a pretty 56 Belgium works great as I described, in fact just cause I tried it as you described and it finally took 3 hands to get it back together, the spring pin dropped down to low and I could not get the ring pushed back in place.
Exelente arma , como se puede adqirir una de esa 🤔
big fan ...
Thank you.
Uma espingarda espetacular já tive uma desse modelo só que era remento
Les Anschutz sont aussi bonnes avec chargeurs 10 coups qualité Allemande avec des bonnes munitions 😊😊
I really want to like this; but point it up at a squirrel, hold the hand piece a little closer….and that bottom ejection of the hot shell case stands a pretty good chance of going down your shirt. Ask me how I know😂. Nor does it have anywhere to hook a strap to.
You missed 1 thing, find out if it's the barrel or the resiver, the reciver is the mag, tube, Eck usmc
I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are talking about. Please explain further. Thanks.
I have a sa22 and I have found out that some of the problem is not the barrel but the stock and the other way to make it tight to tighten the mag tube, find out what is loose, Eck usmc
@@alexmorris3106 I gotcha now. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Have a great day.
