I just purchased a .22/32 6" "Beakart style" in about 60% condition... #341,9xx

The lock work is perfect- and so is the finish on the barrel, and I honestly don't think it has been shot hardly at all over its life...

But the finish on the frame is terrible and grip don't meet at the bottom from slight warpage and need some TLC and rechekering...

I think it should be a good shooter though...but $200- reasonable? Going to be my new squirrel gun! Pics to come after I have it shipped back.

This makes 22/32 #2 for me.

Andy, any shooter is worth that much. Get it and let us see some pictures.

Well, I have to come up with a reason to buy them anymore...I even have a "toilet cleaning" gun...

I'm running out of reasons !

I have one of these 22/32 beaters. Been reblued and even has a bbl bulge. Paid 150.00 for it and had some work done to it for 25.00 It actually shoots good, use it for a hunting carry gun if I need one last shot. If it would fall in the mud I wouldn't really care. Good all around utility gun. Larry

If I recall, Gunparts Corp has a few original barrels for .22/32's, but I haven't checked to see if they were pre-war or not...but I think for the price, it couldn't hurt to find out...I think they were about $25.00!

Thanks for the heads up Andy. Larry

I probably bought this one a little too soon but it spoke to me and I didn't have a 22/32. I gave $350 at the last National Gunday in Louisville.

Looks a lot like mine...I think.
I haven't picked it up yet.

Does it shoot well?
You may need a couple of J-22 HKS speedloaders for it...and some .22 Longs.

Good guns, I've had several over the years. Want to sell it?? I'll give you more than you paid. Dick.
