The bore, however, is bright, boasting a clean, mirror finish with no signs of wear and excellent rifling with sharp lands and grooves. The sale includes one 10-round magazine.
This Model 422 is chambered for .22 long rifle cartridges (LR), known for their low recoil, making it an excellent choice for beginners and youth.

The gun features a blued finish, adding a touch of elegance to its robust construction. Its black checkered polymer grips provide a comfortable and secure hold, while its fixed black serrated ramped front and dovetail square notch rear sights ensure accurate target acquisition.
