Help identify and value

[mouthpiece]

Don't really know anything about this and my Blue books are loaned out and who knows where they went.

Fairly heavy pitting in the receiver area and most of the bore is rough

 

[Cowcatcher]

Very cool! I’m listening too cuz I’ve got one of those that lives on the mantle over my fireplace. Rougher than yours and has no ring on bottom of the receiver.

My blue book is 8 years old, but here's what I could gather from the pics & book:

There are multiple 22lr models, and I believe yours is a model 2922. It's the only one that checked all the boxes.
Model 2922 - .22 cal rimfire, round barrel, falling block, lever operated, with checkering

Other 22 models are:
922 - same as 2922, but without checkering
822 - similar to 922, but rolling block instead of falling block
3922 - nickeled Swiss buttplate & octagon barrel
722 - non-lever, thumb operated, otherwise same rifle as 922
4922 - bolt action 22
5022 - same as 4922 with deluxe checkering

Take in mind, these values are 8 years old, but here's what my book shows:
100% - 420
98% - 335
95% - 265
90% - 225
80% - 195
70% - 175
60% - 150

*Add $60-$75 for Lyman tang sights (not on the rifle pictured)

These models were made from 1887 to 1914. Your particular rifle was made on or after 1896. Prior to 1896, H&A guns were marked 'HOPKINS & ALLEN MANUFG. CO. NORWICH, CONN" - Beginning in 1896, H&A guns were marked with "HOPKINS & ALLEN ARMS CO. NORWICH, CONN, U.S.A."

Hope this helps.

Got an overall picture?

 

[CutBaitNBlowSh*tUp4ALivin]

I'm intrigued. Are you gonna fire it?

 

[mouthpiece]

Yes i am gonna fire it.
I'll have to get an overall pic.
Barrel is OCTAGONAL.

And I should have my Blue book back in a day or 2.
I remembered last nite who borrowed it.

It would make a great mantle piece if nothing else but I would have to at least fire it a few times first.

 

[mouthpiece]

I have 3 "mantle" pieces now 2 of them are completely broke.

Heavily pitted? Ha, surface rust, patination, aging. Don't worry about it.

Use some 0000 steel wool and oil and lightly rub the surface of the metal. Better yet if you can find some bronze cabinet workers wool, use that.

The Bore repair is one of the simplest of gunsmithing jobs. Reline the barrel. back in the older days I relined a lot of of old .22 barrels. Lately I lined a bunch of Martini single shots to .17HM2 and .17HMR. I wouldn't recommend these for the H&A however. But .22 is an Easy do.
