Rescued from the back of a safe.
Friend of mine hasn't touched these beauties in years and sold them to me.
The gun on the right is a M36. It's in good shape with a bit of bluing loss. But the trigger is money and it still shoots like a dream.
I think the one on the left is a M34 (no-dash), but I'm really not all that certain. I don't think the grips are correct for a M34 No-Dash. Regardless, it's fun to shoot and dead-on accurate.

I think the adjustable sighted 36 is kind of rare, if I remember some were marked as model 50 and some were marked 36 but I think they are rare/ uncommon. I could be wrong someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly. I was wrong and need to pay more attention very nice

Did the M34 come with diamond grips originally?

I've got the twin of your 36 and love it! Same dark grips too. Really sharp. The S/N puts mine in the 58-59 range. Enjoy your new additions!

forgive me.
So we have a model 36 , little dispute of that because it would be marked as such. So if the other one is a model 34 it can easily be determined by checking under the crane for the model mark. If the 34 is not model marked it is not a model 34,,,, correct?

I'm not entirely sure about that.... The M36 is clearly marked as such under the crane. The M34 has no ID under the crane.

What he said!!! I'd love a short bbl 22 to go with MY little guns. I've previously showed my trio of Terrier, Baby Chief and 32 HE Snub. Those little guys are just so darn CUTE!

LOL!
I don't have much left for lottery tickets after this purchase.
PLUS, he's now selling a Model 40 Lemon Squeezer in decent shape that I'm considering.

"I think the one on the left is a M34 (no-dash), but I'm really not all that certain."
Wishoot,
We need the serial number to identify a "pre-model."
We need any letters that are with the serial number!
We don't need the actual serial number if it bothers you to post it.
Post the serial number like this: 4321XX
We do need the exact number of digits.
The one true place you can be sure of reading the serial number is the butt of the gun. It could be under the stocks.
Best of luck purchasing the Model 40 Lemon Squeezer from your good friend!

If it's not model-marked behind the yoke, it's not a Model 34, it's a .22-32 Kit Gun. The Model 34 is also a .22-32 Kit Gun, but made after 1957, and therefore model-marked. Names only before '57, names and numbers after.

Does anyone know if those grips are correct for a .22-32 Kit Gun (gun on left side of picture)?

The grips on the kit gun are too new. They should be like what KalamazooKid's picture in post #8 shows, with the diamond.

That's kind of what I thought. Now my quest will be finding a set of correct grips.
