My grandfather died about 20 years ago in a roofing accident before I was even old enough to know him.
He seemed to be into plinking around and owned a couple of .22s that my dad now owns.
However, I never had access to his .22 pistol until now.
I drove about 10 hours today with my grandma and dad to pick up my new-to-me heirloom: A HI-Standard Dura-matic M-101. The serial number is 496xxx, information I was able to obtain puts this between 1955 and 1961, but looking for a better estimate if anyone has access to this info.
I was able to find a guide and took the pistol apart and it seems to be in good enough condition to shoot, so i'll try next weekend to see how it goes.
I am mainly looking for information on this pistol: How to lube properly, what to look out for in terms of malfunctions, random info etc.
Thank You
