Tough old stew meat getter............K22

[Sprefix]

Woooo-Whoooooooo......Finally got my 1948 Pre-17 K22 masterpiece. It is reported to be re-blued and the stocks are not original, but I'm very happy just the same. It has the "High-Speed" hammer and the high-horn magnas with a single line "made in the USA". I'm gonna have fun with this shooter. Should fill the pot on occasion............

Nice one! The late '40s K-22s are extraordinarily appealing revolvers. Congratulations.

I agree that it has been refinished, but all in all it looks like a pretty good job.

That is a very nice revolver, congrats on it's arrival. I have one that shipped on 10-7-48, my birth year but not month. They are fun to shoot and I'm sure you will enjoy it.

I have three days off the end of this week. It WILL get some range time and maybe even work on the stew pot if things permit. I fully intend to use this gun, so I didn't mind that it has been monkeyed with. I just don't appreciate much of the new stuff........I'm 43 years old and am loving stuff my age and older.(Except for my Sweety!!) LOL

Sir: would you share the serial number with all us K-22 fiends. Always interested in where the one liners land in the scheme of things. Thanks.

 

[Sprefix]

The serial number is K 10098. I'm thinking I love this thing already..............

Meat getter? Can't you just go to a grocery store? How Far Up North are you exactly? Just kidding!

It looks great....sometimes the ones that have been fixed up (and do not have to worry about) are my favorites. It is a classic piece....congrats. I hope you enjoy it for many years.

Your going to love it! I have one from 1947, Ser #85XX that is just too nice to drag out in the woods, so, naturally I had to get a "beater" from 1952,# 1434XX to "suffer" the day to day beatings. Enjoy it,Sir! Kyle

Congrats! I've got a one liner from '48 too. You'll have lots of fun with it!

 

[Sprefix]

What is it about a one-liner.....? Must be remnants of my mis-guided youth...LOL

Here's my one liner 200xx

Iowahunter, maybe I'll get my mom to drive from Fostoria to relieve you of the nice gold box........LOL

With the price of gas going up it would probably cost more than the box is worth!!

OUTSTANDING FUN

Well, I got out to a small place to shoot and the pre-17 did a great job!! The previous owner seems to have eyes like mine as I didn't even have to change the sights. What a great handgun! I am very pleased with it and can't wait to fill the fry-pan with it. I had no clue that a 1948 revolver had what seemed to be laser-guided technology. If you can, buy one of these............

They are great revolvers as my pre 17 was made in 1955 and I love it.
