I mentioned earlier that I bought a SS Remington 22 when I was eleven. I think it was a model 30, but I'm not entirely sure. I still have it up in the attic, so I suppose I could climb up there and take a look. The last time I saw it, I was amazed at the condition. I had put a oiled piece of paper towel in each end of the barrel when I left home at sixteen to go to college, so the bore was clean and unmarked. Since I carried it around with me nearly every day, I was surprised that there were practically no scratches or rust on the stock or blueing.
