Sears & Roebuck 22cal rifle
Can anyone assist? I need ammunition info on a 22CAL bolt action rifle that was sold by Sears. What 22CAL rounds can it shoot? LR, SR, etc.
The info printed on the barrel (see below) seems vague and I can't find any info on the internet. Mod 1 CAL22 Model No. 27327010 Sears & Roebuck and Co. Thank you ahead of time. |

Sears Model 1 22CAL Rifle
Hi Sam,
Sorry it took this long to get back to you about this. Yes I believe it's the exact same scenario you described to me in your second to the last post (which I took the liberty to re-post below). The rifle my grandson has appears to be the junior model too because it does look shorter in length and there are no swivels attached for a shoulder strap. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question: Who made the Sears 22 cal Model 1 rifle? Answer: The Sears Model 1 22 caliber rifle was a single-shot made by Winchester. Winchester also made the gun as their model 121. I have a "junior" model of the Sears Model 1 that I received from my father in 1967. The junior model is a smaller version of the gun for the beginner shooter. I have seen a Winchester 121, and it is not only longer than the Model 1, but the gun stock is also slightly different. The model 121 had sling swivels and my Model 1 does not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ammunition information I needed was in fact stamped on the barrel of the rifle, but wasn't given to me when I asked for it. This Jr. model does shoot all three 22CAL shells, S, L, & LR, which makes perfect sense seeing how it's a single shot bolt action and has a lot of room to eject a LR shell. I found a lot of rust underneath the barrel once I removed it from the stock (plus a few spots on top) which motivated me to re-blue it using a cold bluing process. I went to Big5 Sporting Goods and purchased Birchwood's Cold Bluing kit for next to nothing compared to what I paid the last time I sent one out to be done professionally, and I must say I am extremely happy with how it turned out. I've always wanted to try this one day and here was the perfect opportunity. For those of you who may have said the same thing, well I'm here to tell you that I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow... just remember the old adage about the quality of a job being every bit as good as the amount of preparation that went into it! Well that's still true today as it is here. I do have one more question to ask anyone who can tell me and that is how to do I go about disassembling the bolt from this rifle so I can re-blue just the parts that were blued to begin with. Does anyone have a basic set of instructions? I am a fair hand at most things mechanical so I'm not worried about reassembling this later. If anyone could point me in the right direction first then I think it may go a lot quicker. Regards. |

The model 121 Single Shot rim fire rifle was designed to provide beginning and young shooters with a bolt action system that would provide a safe, efficient, and reliable first firearm. In addition to handling one cartridge at a time, the rifle has a safety catch that automatically engages itself in the "safe" position each time the bolt handle is raised. The rifle cannot be discharged after each loading until the safety has been manually depressed. Three different versions of the basic model were available. The Youth model offers a short butt stock for the younger shooter; the standard has a stock of conventional length for the average man-sized youngster or adult. In addition, a third, Deluxe version has a standard length stock with the extra features of a Monte Carlo, fluted comb and sling swivels. The Model 121, in all styles, handles 22 short, long, or long rifle cartridges interchangeably. It was introduced in 1967 as part of a matched family of 22 rim fire rifles.Hope this helps.

Thanks for the detailed information...
Thank you Vanya. That was more than a mouthful and very well appreciated.
I am familiar enough with most bolt action hunting rifles such that I had already removed the bolt from the rifle when I first asked the question about disassembling the bolt itself. Removing it however, is much the same as you describe for the model 131 and becomes very obvious once the stock is removed. I have disassembled and reassembled the bolt for bluing and have already taken my grandson to the firing range. Everything seems to be in working order or at least the same before I blued it. My grandson already wants to modify the weapon by adding a scope to it so I have another question for the experts: As stated in the specs., the rifle barrel is notched in such a way to accept what looks like a clamp-style mounting ring(s). Is there some brand name or industry standard term used that defines this type of mount? I have tried to purchase some via the internet, but nothing I've seen so far looks like what I think they should look like to accommodate these notches. Please tell me what's the proper name to use when ordering these rings? Note: Cross referencing the gun make/model to find them doesn't usually work out because the Winchester model 121 is never listed. Thanks ahead of time. Maddog2020 |
