Got one at a gunshow today. How old is it?? Are they worthwhile for a beginning shooter?? How do you get the bolt out? It won't come out by pulling the trigger and bringing the bolt back.

Pics later.

    I would rate it at about 90%. The stock is perfect, and the only flaws on the metal finish is around the front sight, like they were leaning it against something.

    We were going to let her older sister pass her chipmunk down, but then again for this price she can keep it, and pass it down to her own children later.

    Now I have to find something for the older sister, since it won't be long until that chipmunk is too small, and she does like the older kids, and tries to confiscate my favorite 22 rifles.
