9422
Over 25 years ago Winchester set out to create a new
22 caliber rifle. They wanted it to be a quick handling,
easy-to-use design with traditional craftsmanship and a
large dose of 19th century nostalgia. The rest is history.
Importantly, your new Model 9422 is made by U.S.
Repeating Arms Company in New Haven, Connecticut in
one of the world’s most modern firearms factories. The
most current computer design and machining equipment
was used. It is the the product of the world’s most highly
trained, highly skilled firearms craftsmen and women.
Today’s Model 9422 has a level of quality and precision
that was not possible just a few years ago.
This manual covers all current versions of the Model 9422
rifle. Likely, you have one of two basic versions: the ver-
sion that handles Long and Long Rifle cartridges inter-
changeably, or the special 22WMR (Magnum) version
that handles the 22 WMR cartridge only. Study these
entire instructions carefully to be sure you have covered
all information about your specific Model 9422.
