I did the above post project to celebrate freedoms by law, but it seems to not be popular to do so here, which rather suprised me as I had heard this was a rebellious group here. However, the stainless 10-22 is a favorite of mine, especially in the stainless Butler Creek folder for portability freedom, and that sounds like a great deal on the gun. Mine is actually blue and bought in 1978, but installed a stainless barrel, black or silver aluminum receiver subject to same amount of rust.
