1953 K-22 Update

[doc540]

All good now.

Gunsmith said it hadn't been shot enough to loosen up, so he tuned the action and reshaped the cylinder bolt which was dragging.

A little touch of Van's cold blue, and we're headed to the range tomorrow to see how it shoots!

Thanks for all the advice, gentlemen.

If she shoots as good as she looks it will be a great day, any day at the range is a great day, what was i thinking.

The early plan is to shoot silhouettes with K-22 in the open sight class and the M41 in optics.

I don't know yet how well I can shoot it at 50 yds.

Hope to find out tomorrow.

Shot it for the first time today at 50yds.

It's as accurate as the Model 41.

I have a 4" k22 about the same year, we shoot it all the time and every time I do I like it more. Great gun.

If I wanted to stash the original stocks and add a set of target stocks with a thumbrest, what kind should I look for? And will any K frame target stock fit it?

thnx

Rosewood target stocks....originals put away with a clear label.

They give my long, boney fingers a better hold.

Those are purdy. What are they?

I first tried a set on the M41.

Really good people to deal with, and they've shipped the same day I ordered.

Very nice there Doc! I like the rosewood.

 

[doc540]

One step at a time, right?

Any K-Frame Targets should fit, I got these smooth Targets for my K22 from CDNN on-line; I don't remember what I paid but they were pretty cheap.

Thanks

For now I'm trying a set of vintage Fitz Ten-O's
