Browning automatic 22 rifle grade I

[Daddytotwo]

This is the takedown model. It was made in 1979 and is still in the original box. It was made in Japan. It was given to my youngest son and I'm not interested in selling it. I want to know an estimated value as well as the best way to store the rifle and box. The rifle is in like new condition. The only sign of wear is where the barrel and stock twist together. It looks like what you would expect from someone putting it together and taking it apart a few times, maybe to show how it worked. The box is in good condition and all the writing is clear.
