Thanks for the update, interesting "One Liner" special ordered in Bright blue and shipped with factory target stocks on (6/9/48) too !
Too bad those stocks were lost as the early ones with the built in plastic adapter almost never pop up for sale

I would double check with Roy that your gun shipped with "Target stocks" or if he meant Walnut Magna stocks to be 100% certain ,
IIRC it pre dates the earliest gun we have seen with the target stock option by around a year.

Even though this thread is several years old wanted to comment that while satin blue is usually found on narrow rib K-22's the "Bight Blue" becomes standard beginning sometime in 1954 and is the norm by 1955 so Nightshades K22 doesnt surprise me in the Bright blue because of its 1955 ship date , We hardly ever see them pop up except as special orders as the narrow rib was supplanted by the new wider rib version in 1955 IIRC.

On a side note we also never see the wider rib K-22's in satin blue because they began shipping in very late 1954 to early 1955 when bright blue was standard.
