Parker - Ballard 22

Does anyone own a Parker-Ballard 22 semi auto 22 with a 5 shot magazine ? I have an opportunity but need some information on it .

Eddie I do not have any experience or know of anyone owning one of those rifles but I did a little research and from what I am seeing the Parker Ballard 22 semi auto was imported and made by an outfit in Austria named Voere. My Dad owned a 300 Winchester mag bolt action rifle made by Voere, it was the Shikar model and in the mold of a Weatherby Mark rifle in looks, it was of high quality and a pretty good shooter and nice looking. I would think the Parker Ballard would also be a well made rifle at the very least and a high dollar 22 rifle in their day. 

I found prices on the Voere version and they start at $250 grading at 60% up to $585 at 100% and everywhere in between depending on the condition. Prices from 2013 Blue Book

I found a little info on the rifle when I GOOGLED it . Would like to know how to disassemble it . It has a thumb safety similar to a Mossberg but won't budge . I wouldn't want to buy it , go through a FFL person and then have to pay a gunsmith to repair it .
