Browning Vintage SA-22 Take Down Rifle 22 LR Semi Auto Made in Belguim

When a gun has been in production for more than 100 years like the SA-22, labeling
its design as a success is a massive understatement.

The svelte little .22 rifle has been in production for more than a century.
It was designed by John Browning.
It was also the first semi-auto chambered for the .22 rimfire cartridge.
Spent casing are ejected downward.
The cocking button is on the underside of the receiver.
The Browning .22 Auto Rifle is a takedown.

Top examples of certain Belgium-made versions of the rifle can fetch over $3,000.

This particular one has no serial number but was Made in Belguim so that puts it
between 1914 & 1955.

Condition is very good - wood may have been refinished .. but has no damage
Bluing is orginal and is at 90% with very little fading or wear..

Stock has been added to so LOP is now 14 1/2 inches. - see pictures.

The little .22 rifle, known by Browning variously as the SA-22, .22 Semi-Auto or just
Auto Rifle, has been in production for more than a century.
The John M. Browning design was the first semi-auto rifle made for the .22 rimfire
cartridge. It has been called a rifle that was appropriately designed for its cartridge
— slim, light and easy handling.
It was manufactured by Fabrique Nationale in Belgium beginning from 1914, but it
wasn’t imported to the United States until 1956.
Production continued at FN until 1974, when it was moved to Miroku in Japan, where
most Browning rifles and shotguns have been made ever since...
