The k-22 was the first thing I lusted for in my youth. I think I have a 17-3 but I don't remember what I paid for it. The most recent k-22 I bought from a coworker, he told me he had one for sale and he wanted $600. I told him I didn't really need one but I had $500 in my wallet and would he take that. He accepted and brought it in from his car. It was a high condition 1955 vintage k-22 in the original box. I was a little embarrassed because I felt cheap and I knew that I had taken advantage of him. I did find other things to ease my guilt, ammo etc. but I still feel bad, a little.
