Are you sure that there is not one (just 1) left for me?

I don't know where you are in line. If any of us are in front of you, you'd be well advised to find another line!

After years for searching for my "Most Wanted" guns, the Model 63 or Model 34 and the Model 18, I have found them in just 2 months apart.
Now I have a really nice Model 34 flatlatch and than I found my "Utterly Most Wanted" one: a great Model 18-2.
They provide me with all the joy that shooting can give to a person.

Since I have these two, I can be a patient guy. (I think?)

What got me thinking about .22's was my finding and buying a Model 18-2 at a local gun shop.
It is about 98%+ and I probably paid too much for it with no box, $600, but in Mass a used gun has to have been previously owned in Mass, hence it seems as if the prices tend to be a bit higher here.
Anyhow I am so thrilled with it I am looking for a Model 17 to go with it!

Finding a POST-war Transitional Kit Gun like this might be a challenge--but your pals aren't likely to have one!

BlackAgnes (or is it Black Angus LOL)

That is a beautiful gun!

With all the variety in the .22's I think that is what you could take a lifetime building a collection.

I do love the .357's having a Model 28 and a 686, I would like at least one more, maybe a 13 or a 19 (or both) but them I hear the siren call of the .22

It sounds like a loon on a quiet moonlit night, it is calling me ".22 .22 .22" over and over

ROFL

I am still amazed at how many .22's S&W made!

With the spector of a ban on Center-Fire ammo still on the distant horizon (there is talk once in a while) you can't seem to wrong with rim-fire

Jeff
Are you coming to the show in Fitchburg this weekend?
If you are I'll bring my pre 45 and my .22/32 Club Gun with a Humpback Hammer. Neither one is for sale.

I will be there on Sunday, I will also bring a silicone rag so that I clean up any drool marks I make on the .22/32!!!!!
