What Kind of .22 Rifle Is This?

I have an old, 1940's model .22 Rifle that was given to me, and I do know it was originally sold at a small hardware store. It has the holes drilled in the top of the stock for carrying the shells. I have never seen one of these before.

Is this a guessing game? Or only for Psychics? I think it's a BSA.

LOL! Like there's is the only gun in the world. I'm constantly amazed at the questions some folks ask when trying to get information.

With most gun owners, you will find a LOT of Gallows Humour. Don't take it to heart.

Post up the Manufacturer's Name on the barrel, hopefully the Model Number also. If it doesn't have either of those...or you are having trouble reading the info, post some nice pics of it and we'll try to sort it out.

A cute method of reading rough numbers is to take a pencil & paper and do a rubbing of the name/numbers. It can often bring out clarity.

Perhaps we could be of more help w/o pics, w/a better description. Especially markings. It's likely a fairly common,yet vintage model.

We tend to poke fun if you don't give enough info for a reasonable answer. But the only guns I know of that hold shells in the butt are the all metal survival type like a Bronco or the old 22 over shotgun models but I don't remember who made them ( Stevens or savage maybe?)
