Back to 93 pumps for a moment--a damascus 1893 would be even rarer than a model 61 shot--even rare than the pre-war 61 with the matted receiver like the model 12.
Didn't Browning make their little .22 auto, the one that loaded thru the butt and had the bolt on the bottom, in 22 short only too? I always liked how that little rifle worked, but it was like shooting a pretzel.
