That's normal. The model numbers did not replace the model names, they supplemented them.
1974, in case you are interested.

The seller wanted $900, I wanted to pay $800 ... we settled on $847.I was happy and he seemed happy too.
One of the nice things about buying from a private seller at a show is no sales tax, no shipping and no transfer fee.
A full package 18-3 in that condition at $847 is never going down in value. Was shooting my 18-3 on Thursday.

Richard, a few things. First that is a superb package! Second, how in the world did you “settle” on $847? I could see $850, but $847?
Lastly, you actually listed 3 nice things about buying from a private seller instead of one, and all three are really nice when you can do it. Thank goodness I can do those things here too. It’s hard for me to believe, but I don’t have a .22 Combat Masterpiece of any vintage!
I have quite a few of the 6 inchers, but no 4 incher. I am about getting past the point of rectifying that too. As usual, thanks for sharing with us.Larry
No question you have the discerning eye and the diligent legs to oblige, always nice eye candy.
If there is a legitimate wavering I officially give you enabling for … let’s say- 500 more. That should cover it, sleep tight

A very nice 18 at a very nice price!
The only 18s I've seen at shows recently were beyond 'well-used' and priced north of $1200!

Richard settled on $847 because like Scatman Carothers in "The Shootist," He's the best haggler....and $3 is $3 dollars.....When I first started seeing Richard's posts, I thought, " I need this guy to adopt me." Then I met him and h's at least ten years younger than me....I still might want him to adopt me...after all, my mom is 97 and still going....
When and if I ever grow up (an unlikely scenario at my age) I want to be just like Richard, including just being an average, unassuming guy...

It's actually more simple than that. I had two $20s, a $5, and two $1s in my pocket, and then a small stack of "just in case I find something cool" $100s in my backpack. So I took out the $47 from my pocket and asked "would you take $847?" He said "yes". I handed him the $47, opened my backpack and handed him 8 large. He handed me the boxed gun, which I promptly deposited in my backpack, shouldering the backpack in one swift move.
I smiled. He smiled. And I promptly headed for home to get aquainted with my new K-22. It ended up being a great day at the gunshow.
That’s hilarious, Richard!It's actually more simple than that. I had two $20s, a $5, and two $1s in my pocket, and then a small stack of "just in case I find something cool" $100s in my backpack.

A few years ago I was rectifying some of the errors of my misspent youth and requiring some of the guns that I sold. The M18 was one such gun as was the K22. I got into a bidding war on GB for a NIB M18. It was a birth year gun for me (1952) and just to nice to pass up. It's surprising how fast $50 increments add up. At the end of the day I out lasted the other guy. However with this being NIB I wouldn't ever shoot it and just considered it a very long term investment. I saw another M18 on GI so I bought it to shoot.
I now have 3 M18's 5 K22's and a pristine Outdoorsman. There is a gun show this weekend and I will be supplied with $$$$ and my C&R license.
You just cant have to many K frame 22's

Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. I just overpaid for a vintage Beretta, but it was a grail gun for me and I got sick and tired of waiting for a decent one to pop up.
