    Friend of mine gave this to me years ago, and I had it in storage for the longest time. Took it out a couple months ago and gave it a good cleaning. Front sight apparently broke up, so need to replace that, but otherwise it shoots great.

    Looking for info, price, date made, etc, etc. Trying to sell it and its tough to find approx value. Thanks!

    I'm going to be honest. I'm at a loss here.

    I'll try to get a better picture of the manufacturer. From what I could tell it is an Anschutz CIL Model 111, which if you do a search for online, sold for about $18 in 1965. It was the lower end .22 that CIL sold back when.

    Its actually a damn fine shooting gun. Friend of mine who is more into shooting shot it a bit and he was impressed.

    The last known place it was sold according to my research was in the 1967 CIL catalogue.

    The gun I have is a single shot.

    I have to get pretty specific, because some models sell for a lot more than others. I don't think its worth that much, but I want to be sure.

    The '64' you see on one of the pictures indicates date it was made if I'm right.

    That looks similar to a rifle my brother in law owns.

    Looks like one my dad had when I was a kid. Damn accurate little rifle. I was able to hit a surveyor's stake edgeways at about fifty yards with it using the doorframe as a rest.

    Unfortunately it was stolen after he gave it to my cousin. :(

    Nice piece.
