Found this today on a dealers table marked at $400 ($375 bought it). It had about a pint of Gibbs on it and the lettering was filled with gold colored **** (I got most of it off). Been looking for a K-22 shooter and this will do nicely!










I got the Monarch boxes there too (full).

Nice find. By the way how did you get the gold out ?. I tried the usual on my 14-3 and nothing works. Did you heat the frame first ? Thanks Richard

I liberally applied Hoppe's, let it sit for about 15 minutes and then gently worked on it with a brass brush. It formed a gold goo as I brushed and it wiped off. I was planning on trying nail polish remover next, but didn't need to.

That's exactly the gun I've been looking for (and I would have paid more for it, too). Congratulations!!

Wow, I like that one. We have so many members who will post a gun that they have bought and never say what they paid. In those cases, I have no comment. . .good or bad or I don't know. In your case, you did "really" good!!!

You stole it, if that's a shooter in your eyes, I would love to see what you have as a collectible.

Super find. The 4" K22 is one of my two bucket guns left to acquire. One of these days.

Good on you. Well done!
