Over the last couple of years I have been picking up a few more modern rifles one of which was an AWM 338 (L115-A3) and he has been fascinated with that ever since it showed up but I can't let him loose with that so we thought a lever action .22 LR would be a little cooler than your standard semi-auto 22.

well Monty did your son get the 22?

Yep now the hard part begins in getting him to understand that he can't play with it whenever he wants, it is very hard explaining restraint to an 8 year old.
We did go out and shoot a few targets though so he is happy.

I am a little wary of that firearm as I can not see a Waffenamt stamp anywhere which leads me wonder whether it isn't a post war build from WW2 parts.
I doubt that it ever saw service.
