Parker-Hale .22 Conversion

[mrcabinet2122]

I was finally able to get the ol' girl out to the range today to at least get it sighted in with the new blade. Started out high left, but I eventually got it dialed in. This was at 45' with a wrist rest. Not K-22 accuracy, but I'm happy with it. Minute of squirrel for sure.

My brother and fellow Forum member Louisiana Joe has one that he bought for less than $200.00 many years ago. We didn't know what it was at the time. We just shot it and it did shoot very well and accurate. His was formerly a .38/200 converted to .22 cal. It has the barrel and cylinder inserts and the right side of the barrel is ground down and marked Parker Hale. It shoot as well or better than any other .22 revolvers I've ever shot. My brother has always been mean to me and won't sell it to me.

Can't say I can blame him Charlie - I'm hanging on to this one too! I gave my son his grandfather's K-22 12 years ago for his 21st birthday and he won't let me have it back either.

Every man ought to have at least one good 22 revolver to shoot, and if you're trying to talk father, son, brother, or complete stranger out of theirs... we'll all I can say is good luck. If I had an "extra" 22, I might let it go (and actually have in the past as I "traded up") but if it were the one I considered my own shooter, you'd better be ready for a struggle if you want to get it away from me!

Very nice work and I think you got a great deal on that one!
When I saw the front sight I thought it looked like the location the Belgians like to place theirs. I have seen Belgian copies of .44 S&W Americans with the front sight similarly located. I don't know why you would not place it at the muzzle but I guess they had their reasons!
It shoots well- that makes it all the better!
