These were very classy guns. And there should be a dry fire mode, if you fiddle around with the safety IIRC!? The FN models with a wooden fore end were nice too, probably the classiest .22 pistol of the era, together with the Unique DES69 of course!
The FN guns bring big money these days. Not many were imported, at least not under the FN name. Browning called it The Medalist. Can`t remember what FN called it. But they were pretty much the same gun except for the markings and finish.
Shep It really gets to the target fast ,it looks like a colt woodsman.was it made to compete with it ,how would you compare the two ,please put somev1600fps cci stingers through it online, can't imagine how hard they would hit ,great Vid Mate
That is in nice condition. Another good gun in your collection.
Thanks. I wanted one of these way back in the 70s when they first came out, but couldn`t afford it at the time.

Stingers are hard on pistols from that era unless you install a heavier recoil spring.
@1957Shep there you go thank you
That looks almost identicle to my high standard 😮
Most of the 22 autos of that era looked a lot alike.
Looks a little light. But I think is still s good accurate reliable gun.
A little lighter than the original Challenger, but not much.
@@1957Shep have mostly shooting the woodsman target 6 inch
