Krico 0.22 restoration
This was my father's 0.22 and I transferred it into my name. He purchased it the day he turned 21 in 1956.
I fitted a Sig Sauer scope 3-9 x 40 scope.
I had the wood restored by Alan Henry of Natal Gun Company.
Alan also cut the thread for the Nielsen suppressor.
I made the white spacer between the butt pad and the stock.
Browning leather strap with quick release swivels.
First photo shows what the rifle looked like when I got it.

Beautiful. I had a krico 222 many years ago. This brings back good memories.

Alan sure knows his way around guns. The only gunsmith that works on mine.

Re: Krico 0.22 restoration
Here is a shot I took at 63m in windy conditions, Magtech sub sonic ammo with suppressor fitted.
I got same results on next target, so its pretty consistent.
Sig Sauer 3-9 scope isn't ideal for this kind of target shooting as it is at its best optically around 6x zoom.
