This browning BL 22 had been sitting around at the shop since Jan. Nobody was buying a used .22 for $300.00. One day was looking at it and again I saw all the engraving all over it. I always liked this gun, but I wasn't popping for $300 either. Then one night I started doing homework on it. Turns out it's a grade II gun! They sell new for close to $600. So last week monday I took in a marlin M 25 in .22 that I had made a custom stock for that looks really good as fodder for a possible trade. I hit them with the idea of a trade and the owner asked me what I had in mind. I told him EVEN trade. He though for a while and said "deal" we shook on it and now it's mine. The pics here are not of the actual gun, but the condition and look of mine are identical. I'm a happy guy. I got a browning Bl 22 II even trade for a gun I paid $50 for and put about 10 hours in upgrading and refurbishing.







My trade...





Once I get healed I'll take it out and shoot it.
