.22 Remington Automatic

Anyone know where to find some .22 Remington Automatic? I know it's a long shot but worth asking. I have my grandpas model 16 and have never been able to shoot it.

Thank you. I'll have to do some reading to see if those will work. I thought they had to be .22 Remington Automatic, but I could be wrong.

Doesnt look like the Winchester auto will work, at least according to wikipedia

I found that when "The Original" Old Western Scrounger was in business he had a run of it made back in the 90's I believe. And with that, its out there.
I would root the internet auction sites and the gun show circuit, ask the old guys selling old ammo. The boxes from The Scrounger were very plain with a western theme printed on them..
Everything I read, it can't be replaced with another round easily. it involves cutting the case and reseating the bullet.

Thanks for the link. I thought it was pretty specific.

Very interesting. Never heard of Old Western Scrounger. Guess I'll have to keep digging.

"The Original Old Western Scrounger" would be an awesome INGO username. A Gabby Hayes avatar would complete the look.

Really, thought about it that day. Amazing how much manufacturing was going on in those days.
