Browning 22 auto rifle

TWalker
I have a Browning Belgium 22 auto gallery special (shorts only) that is in need of a reblue. I was with my dad when he bought it for $35 with the barrel mount and scope. Will Browning reblue this gun or should I have a gunsmith do it? What will be the cost? I want to restore it back to new so I can pass it on like it was passed to me. Thanks

    I bought a Browning 22 auto rifle today. It has the rear wheel sight and was made in Belgium. The serial number is found at the hole where the magazine tube goes in the rear of the stock. It is T71232. There isn't a serial number anywhere on the receiver. I believe it was made in 1960. The receiver is grooved for tip-off ring mounts. I didn't know that the older 22 autos had this feature. Do any of you own, or have you seen a Browning 22 auto made prior to 1961 with a grooved receiver? When did they quit drilling and tapping for a scope base and switched to grooves? Thanks for any information.
