How old is a springfield 22 caliber model 120?

Answer 1

The Stevens Mod 120 (same company) was manufactured in the late 1970's, so 25 to 30 years old. There is little collector interest and the values reflect this.

UPDATE: That preliminary information is grossly misleading and inaccurate. The Stevens 15/Springfield 120 models ( basically the same model) were NOT produced in the LATE-1970's at all. The production runs were only between 1936 and 1971, making some of them 70 years old, and many of the clean and document able older rifles very collectible. There are many Stevens collectors that specialize in .22 single shot rifles by Stevens, Savage or Springfield and there is always good demand for better grade rifles.

They were manufactured for sale under their manufacturer's brand names as well as under many "house brands" for Sears and Montgomery Ward etc.

As for have little or no value, I guess it boils down to what someone calls 'no value'. Abused .22 "barn rifles" of any sort don't command much money, and the Springfields usually get less than the Stevens. Newer well used rifles often sell for $50 to $100. though and I witnessed a mint condition like new original model 15 sell for $250. at a show. Very clean older rifles can go for over $150 in 94% condition or better. I would not rate that as 'no value'.
