This firearm is a .22 caliber rifle sold under the “Revelation” brand name by Western Auto stores. Model 100 designates a specific variant within the Revelation line, chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges. These rifles were typically manufactured by established firearms companies and re-branded for sale through Western Auto’s retail network.
The significance of these rifles lies in their accessibility and affordability. They provided a reliable and inexpensive option for target practice, small game hunting, and general recreational shooting. Historically, Western Auto was a prominent retailer, and its branded firearms allowed many individuals to own a rifle who might not have otherwise been able to afford one from a traditional gun store.
