Just purchased a model 51 3 1/2" barreled 22 magnum. It is the harder to find round butt version. My question is does any one know how many of the round butt 51's were manufactured.
Regards John

John,

Congrats...A tough one to come by indeed!! Although not etched in stone...Estimated production of the Round Butt Variation is claimed to be somewhere around 600 Units...Hope this helps!! Photos would be nice if you'd care to post a few...Hint~Hint!!
