Picked up both guns today. The S&W is a model 10-5 Nickel new in box from 1974. The rifle is a Savage 6A made between 1938-1945. It is in great shape. Does anyone have a 6A?

I had a 6a years ago. I actually gave it away due to jamming problem I could never fix.
That Savage is like the first .22 I ever shot. I couldn’t even hold it up by myself. My cousin owned it and we ate many squirrel and dumplings courtesy of the Savage.
I had one of those rifles, I think the one I had was a Stevens, but I may be wrong. It looked identical to the gun you have. Yours is in much nicer condition. The one I had, was in good condition, but definitely not as nice as the one you have. I think I cleaned the gun up, shot it once, put a magazine of 22s through it and never shot it again. I put it up for sale shortly afterwards, and sold it.
Then last week, someone else posted up a 6A, and went into detail of it's features. I did not realize it could be used as a single shot. After learning about them, they are actually interesting 22s. Now I wished I had not sold the one I inherited.
