22-32 Kit Gun

[Norton 750]

You just never know. Stopped in to the local Gun Shop and this followed me home. Serial number 905X. Yep, four digit Kit Gun with $475 on the hang tag. Needless to say, even though I was "Just looking" I could not let that sit there one second longer.

Other side. Spent most of its life in somebody's sock drawer apparently. Range report to follow! Older I get more I appreciate the .22 Long Rifle.

Cool gun and exhibition grade stocks to boot!

It is a model of 1953 with a 4-screw sideplate, so likely shipped between 1954 and ‘56. Enjoy!

Very nice. I hope you have confessed your sin of theft!

It is probably from 1954, but it might have shipped later. Sweet little item. 2" Kit Guns are among the favorites for plinking of my wife and me. She liked mine so much, I had to get her one for Christmas a few years ago.

That is a sweet kit gun.

I have a 2", ser# 9104, it was shipped 11/54. But true to " you never know " my 4", ser# 3186 was shipped 12/54.

I think my wallet would have been open, too. That is a beauty.

I have one with serial number 98xx. Don't have it handy right now to read the full number. Mine is nice but not as nice as yours. I would have grabbed that one for $475 in a heartbeat. Great little revolvers. I also have a 2" 34-1 J frame but I like the smaller 4 screw model better.

The gods smiled on you this day. Nice buy, really nice.

My 4", 7041 is nice but not that nice. Congratulations on that one.

Norton, here in Mass that would be over a grand in that condition with diamonds. Well done!

Thanks! The Mods were looking out for me...I had erroneously placed this post in the wrong category since I am not used to lucking into anything this old. They got me to the right spot so the knowledgeable guys for this era can comment on its history.

I usually try to negotiate, but I'd probably would have broke my arm getting my wallet so fast. Beautiful gun !

Nice pickup. I have one in much better condition that I picked up for under $150 last year.

Haha just kidding, but I do love mine. It gets shot often, while my 34-1 snub that’s mint is nice to look at.

Enjoy that little beauty, you got a fantastic deal.
