Model 34-1 c.a.1970 Gun Show Find/Pics

[kobsw]

While on the lookout for a nice Model 10 I came across this nice 34-1 w/box, papers and tools.

I found it at the Oaks, PA show and once again it was Jeff from Highland Arms that had it and some other nice arms.

.22/.32 Kit Gun 34-1 4" c.a. 1970 Square Butt:

Very nice! It's good to find a gem like that every now and then.

Once upon a time I had M19607 that shipped June '71.

 

[D Brown]

Very nice gun! I like your photo composition as well!

 

[JP@AK]

Sweet!!!

I really like the Kit Guns, and that one is about as nice as they come. Most of my Kit Guns (and I own several) are round butt revolvers. I actually prefer the square butt version because of how they fit my hand; I tend to shoot them more accurately.

Great find. Congratulations.

Just for fun, here are a couple of mine:

 

[g-dad]

Nice ones Jack and I really like that snub!

 

[JP@AK]

Nice ones Jack and I really like that snub!

Thanks. The 2" is a .22/32 Kit Gun Model of 1953 (no model number). It shipped in January, 1958.

JP, wow what a nice pair of .22's. The contrast of the nickel with the case colored hammer and trigger is really satisfying.

As for the snubbie, it looks mint and with the flat latch I know it's an older gun.

I had a M-63 back in the late 80's & early 90's. After a year of trying to shoot it with a really heavy
trigger pull, I had a trigger job done on it.

I still found it harder to shoot accurately, than my K-22 and Walther PPK-.22 and since I carried the
PPK-.22 all the time in the woods, when I should have taken the M-63, I sold it.

Being used to N & K frames, but yet ALWAYS packing a M-37, the M-63, didn't feel "right" in my hands,
the PPK-.22 did, I attribute that to the longer barrel of M-63. It kinda hung out there, not quite front heavy,
but the Walther had more "center mass" that affected the balance of the gun more to my taste of feel.

Abbynormal, Yeah my hand's a little big for the J frame magnas so I know what you mean. I have J frame targets on my Mod. 36 which feel great, so I'll be looking for a factory pair for my 34-1

That is a really nice gun. Jeff had it at a few shows around here too. I considered it but I already have a 34-1. I just got my 65-5 3 inch from him last month.

Diesel...., Jeff did mention a few buyers had looked the gun over.

I really wanted a clean model 10 with a tapered barrel and he had one but there was just something about how well built and clean the 34 was so I couldn't resist.

Model 10's come around a bit more than the .22/32 Kit so I felt I just had to snag it.

Ahh the model 65 is a great package, it's all business so good snag.

Diesel... That looks NIB!

Would you be willing to share the first 3 of the S/N?

Just wondering how close it is to mine.

I'll check today when I get home. Mine is not pinned so it's going to be a bit newer

Thanks and I didn't even notice it was not pinned.

Is the cylinder still recessed?
