Need to buy some grips for new old gun!

[Gerald A. Keller]

Recently acquired “.22 long rifle ctg”, pistol. I want to put new grips on it. I think it would be a K frame round butt grip? It has 5 screws according to the id article in the forum. In the frame behind the cylinder there is a number 40499 there.Serial number 408xxx. Any other info would be great!

Might be a 22 Outdoorsman's revolver, but they were square butt guns. Could also be a 22/32 Heavy Frame Target, but the serial number is not correct for either model?? The number you gave has to be the assembly number. Look at the bottom or the front of the butt-frame for the serial number. Should be a 6 digit number.

glowe, thanks sir for looking! It is a 6 digit number front of butt frame. 409055. Some say to put the whole serial number on the forum is a problem. On the barrel it says .22 long rifle ctg. Do you know about the grips on these?

It is a .22/32 Heavy Frame Target model from about 1925.

The stocks would be the two screw target stocks with no medallion in the stock circle. Those stocks will not be easy to find.

OK, that would be a 22/32 HFT revolver shipped around 1925. There is no rebate cut into the back of the frame, so it would take a set of walnut square butt extended stocks like the image below. Problem is they are not that they are not seen for sale often. If you cannot find a set, you could install a set of I frame hard rubber stocks also shown below. I do have three sets of these, but they not selling cheap any more. Fun little guns at the range.

Thanks for that info!

I see you added an image to your original post? You did not originally mention that you had those proper stocks. So why did you want to put a new set on?

 

[Gerald A. Keller]

Awwww! I didn’t know they were proper. I took the gun out to the range,and it was great fun shooting with those stocks. I learned more about what the gun model is, too. I would say that the title to this thread is no longer true as I am going to leave it with these grips.
