1948, K-22?

[CajunBass]

Found this last week at my LGS.





A five screw K-22, that I think is from 1948. Five digit S/N (K669XX) seem to indicate that the way I read them. Someone else can correct me if that's wrong.

It's WELL worn, and has obviously been carried a million miles, and probably fired a million rounds. Still the mechanics are OK, and the price was right (tagged under $400.00). I have a weakness for diamond magna grips.

I've got it stuck in layaway for now.

Very Nice! I would have bought it myself as I am a sucker for anything in .22, esepcially a good 5 screw K22.

I keep telling myself I dont need anymore but every time I find one priced right it comes home with me...

 

[BAM-BAM]

Great find....... you can put another million miles/rounds on that one without any regrets!

I would have jumped on it. That should clean up nicely. Congratulations.

Regards,
Bruce

You did good. You will love it. Mine is a 1947; inherited from my father.

S&W K 22 1948 mfg

My K22 five digit serial #K62700, shows 1948 in SCSW 3rd edition. It shoots like a dream! Was carried and shot much. Actually, found it on Armslist. ( among the many scams)
