They are still relatively inexpensive compared to the older Winchester rimfires, and you can still find many in new condition, and some scarce models as well, like the 9417 where they were only produced during 2003/2004. I too believe there is a lot of growth potential for the 9422. It would be great, if Winchester would release and post the serial numbers,instead of having to call to get the manufacture date for each rifle a person whats to know that information on. Did read a nice article on the Model 9422 ,on line sometime ago.It gave an over view of the models and their introduction. No doubt as collectoer interest grows in the model a book will come,sooner or later.Sooner I hope. That indicates that Winchester had manufactured 639,716 Model 1200 shotguns in the first 9-years of production (approximately 71,000 per year). Yes, there is a lot of growth potential for collecting the Model 9422.That is a nice rifle to have, an early 4 digit ,new in the box.I still have the box that for the carbine I bought brand new came in.However the Classic rifle I have was bought second hand and although it is in mint condition ,I do not have the box for it. Serial number L739716 is listed as the last serial number manufactured in the year 1972.
