Browning Auto-22 Grade I Semi-Automatic Rifle

.22 Short | Made by Miroku, Japan | Original Factory Box

Overview

Offered here is a Browning Auto-22 Grade I chambered in .22 Short, accompanied by its original factory box. Manufactured by Miroku of Japan, this rifle represents one of the most refined rimfire autoloaders ever produced and continues the legacy of John Moses Browning's iconic semi-automatic rimfire design.

This example was recently acquired and remains in great condition, showing only minimal signs of handling or use. The rifle presents exceptionally well throughout and retains the quality fit and finish that Browning enthusiasts expect from the Japanese-made production guns.
