I picked this up a few months ago.
I think this is the first branded modification system of the most modified gun in history. Curious about Hanen being first though.
I love my early Chief AJ gun but this thing is really cool.
You can see the stock modifications and I can tell you the trigger pull is sweet.
This gun has been shot very little and always well cared for...waiting just for me

Nice! I have had a couple of those.

Have only seen a couple of them, nice little 10/22. Sure glad they kept it in top shape for you!!

NICE....I need to take some pics of the one RUGER66 sold me a few years ago...

IIRC it is a D serial numbered Finger Groove Sporter.....you found a good one....RR

We just heard of a Hanen that has to be one of the latest done. It is a 111- prefix with Deluxe Sporter stock.

Who can tell me more about the 111 prefix guns that are marked with Hanen Sportsman in cursive? I had a chance at one years ago and passed because I could not find any information to support it as a true Hanen Sportsman. Note in my research It looks like Dayton Gun Headquarters went out of business or sold out back around 1973. As noted in Bill Workman's book The ruger 10/22 on pages 218-220 it list the ones stamped Hanen Sportsman were made back in 66-68 and only around 200 were made. Were did the ones from 1972 come from? Why nothing in the years inbetween?

I've got to get Workman's book.....hadn't heard of these until now.

Since the Radical One never got around to taking a picture of it, I guess I will.

I always learn something new here. I have never heard of these before!
