A Fancy 4-Screw K-22

[410bore]

I have been a little on the lazy side as of late and have put off sharing this with my forum friends! I found this beautiful, 4-Screw K-22 Pre-17 online and had to have it. It was shipped with "everything but the kitchen sink!" Its not often you see an early K frame, especially a K-22, with a Red Ramp front sight! All of these features are marked in white grease pencil on the bottom of the box.

I haven't gotten around to lettering it yet (lazy occurrence #2) but will soon!

Enjoy the photos!

That is a stunningly beautiful K-22 Masterpiece. But I seriously doubt it is a Model 17. Is it so marked in the yoke cut? Hard to believe . . .

Anyway, nice purchase! Even though you are laggardly in posting pictures for us to admire.

 

[JP@AK]

Never mind! Just re-read your text. Sorry!

 

[Bullseye 2620]

I'll take it.

That is really one sweet piece.

K 309106
K288,989 – K317,822...1957 (manufacture)
K-22s on my list having nearby SNs all shipped in the late 1957 to early 1958 period.
Allegedly the first K-22 with a Model number was K 326533

Nice find Kris. That is one sweet K22.

That's a real time capsule gun, Kris, and the grips are gorgeous!
Nice catch.

I love the looks of the grips. Wow. Amazing that these old guns survive to stay in a condition state like this one.

Very nice
Ive only seen one other 6" with a Baughman FS blade and long ramp :0

Wonder if the ramp was sourced from the 4" K-22 Combat Masterpiece bin ?

Thanks for sharing,

I am not big on owning collector guns that are best left in the safe, but I think I would make an exception for your gun. KP@AK said it best, that is a stunningly beautiful K-22 Masterpiece.

What is the tool in the bottom of the box, that looks like a reamer?
