They are still relatively inexpensive compared to the older Winchester rimfires, and you can still find many in new condition, and some scarce models as well, like the 9417 where they were only produced during 2003/2004. I too believe there is a lot of growth potential for the 9422. These were manfactured in the following Calibers -22 Short ,22 Long Rifle, 22 Short ,Long and Long rifle and 22 WRF. Total guns produced is from 1890 to 1941 is 764,365. It would be great, if Winchester would release and post the serial numbers,instead of having to call to get the manufacture date for each rifle a person whats to know that information on. 1932-Serial numbers were picked at random and large blocks were skipped so serial numbers will be found as high as 849,110. Did read a nice article on the Model 9422 ,on line sometime ago.It gave an over view of the models and their introduction. No doubt as collectoer interest grows in the model a book will come,sooner or later.Sooner I hope. Yes, there is a lot of growth potential for collecting the Model 9422.That is a nice rifle to have, an early 4 digit ,new in the box.I still have the box that for the carbine I bought brand new came in.However the Classic rifle I have was bought second hand and although it is in mint condition ,I do not have the box for it.
