It breaks my heart reading this: << “An authentic Singer 1911a1, seen in as-issued condition, could sell for $100,000. The odds that a Singer is in that group are fairly small, but that would definitely go into the auction,” Thompson said.>> Since a buddy offered me his Singer 1911 back in 1977

IMO Only accurate rifles are interesting...and that is especially true of .22 rimfire rifles. I expect adequate accuracy to enable reliable head shots on squirrels out at 25-50 yds. I have a Rem. 541T that can certainly do that. Plinking is a lot more fun when you can hit what you're aiming at.

Too much. If you're going to buy ALL parts except the motor/base it will be more than a new made-in-China one. The idea is to get a complete working item. The parts are too expensive if you have to buy them all, just as if you had to replace MOST of an MB with new parts. The bowl is most likely
