Default Finally got a K-22 Masterpiece !

I've been looking for a K-22 Masterpiece for awhile now and was finally able to snag one. It was made in 1970 and is a Model 17-3. I would describe it in close to ANIB condition, although, it has been shot a few times. Came with all of the box candy. Bluing is 100% and I cant find a scratch on it. The action is like glass. I took her down and cleaned and lubed everything and will be heading to the range tommorrow. Had to trade my favorite Winchester lever gun for it but, I think it will be worth it. This one will get a workout from me and my daughter! Enjoy!

Excellent catch! Glad to hear it will not be stuffed and mounted. The K-22's are the ultimate .22 LR revolver and deserve to be fired frequently.

Congratulations !
that is an extra nice package and is in excellent condition to boot.
Be warned that K22 Masterpieces are highly addictive.

BTW
I just got my first Masterpiece today also ...well actually its my first Pre war Masterpiece.

I'll tell you guys one thing. This thing is addictive! We had a blast at the range. The K-22 is deadly accurate too. We must have put 200 rounds through it without any issues at all. I am so thrilled with this gun! Thanks for all of the nice compliments!

That's a beauty of a 17-3, one that anyone would be proud of.

Enjoy & Congrats !!

Two weeks ago I had none. Now I have a 17-3 and a 1947 pre-17. Be careful. Be very careful.

Indiuckian- there is an 18 (or pre 18) out there calling your name, saying buy me, shoot me, carry me and I will be the last k-22 you ever buy (hahahaha)
