I’ve got two 7 round mags that I found in a basement ceiling at a remodel job site. Owner said they weren’t his and I could have them. Here I am several years later having some financial trouble because I’ve got health issues, and I remember these magazines. Turns out they’re authentic WWII era mags and sell for around $50 on eBay lol. I’m cleaning them up and I was thinking huh, they’re welded up, can’t take them apart. But wait. How did they put them together then? You answered my question. Now I can clean them properly for whoever buys them.
Nice video, nice pistol. I wouldn't mind having a NICE EXAMPLE of that pistol. I do have a old Ruger Single six (3screw), 2 High Standard Sentinels (snub and 4") as far as 22lr revolvers. I have more 22lr autos, just recently picked up on a S&W model 41 that unfortunately has 2 issues (New replacement grips that need some final fitting and a weaker main spring-too hard to cock the hammer by pulling back the slide initially to shoot it.🤔😯😳😮💨😓 They are getting harder to find and the NEW ONES ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE. I can fix it myself but it will take a little time.😉👍
Great video. Thanks for posting. I have my grandfather's K22. Serial number 497xx. So, probably from the late 1940's. Five screws. Great shape. First gun I ever fired as a young boy. Love this gun.
I bought one of these in 1989 for $285 new .....Great shooter.....I still have it....by the look of this gun I would say it's at least 10 years older than mine....possibly made in the 70s 😊😊😊 ...
What you have is a standard gun k-22 with a standard trigger , standard grips and a standard hammer. You do not have a target hammer , but you do have is a wonderful example of a standard K 22 made a very long time ago. The gun has been use very little. The wire on the end of the barrel is where it has been hope carrying a holster and you can also tell the gun is been use very little because there’s virtually no ring around the cylinder and yes they were very extremely accurate. You’ll enjoy it, all of those guns came with adjustable rear side and a pin barrel, as well as a pin front side. Enjoy you got a real treasure.
I used to do the same , until I found out that only the top section get dirty , so now I push it down , clean the top then release , no need to take the follower out :) ....
@@rtz549 thanks!!! Good to know. I wipe down The outsides of the magazines but then use a dry rag and clean the oil off. I do This more just to remove any hand oils so they don't cause rust or anything
@@genelyda1102 you have no idea! Just picked up two speed loaders and made up a few loading blocks and I'm having an absolute blast and I also just got my hands on an old colt .25 I used to be afraid of guns but after taking it slow and learning to be responsible with them and taking the time to clean them I'm absolutely in love
What an awesome little piece of history. In absolutely beautiful condition as well. You said in the video that you were going to shoot that revolver, so I have to ask you how it shoots? Was it as accurate as I think it is? I have heard these K22 Masterpiece revolvers are super accurate.
I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I hope you can somewhat cope with the loss by now. Lost my little friend a year ago and understand the pain. I’ll keep you in my prayers. God bless.
That is a post WW2, pre-1957 revolver. These, and the later Model 17 (post 1957) are the best of the S&W .22 Masterpiece revolvers. It is definitely "collector grade" though not 98%+, it still has a good amount of collector value. If you use it moderately and keep it in good condition (and original) it will retain it's value and gain in value. I have a Model 17 I have been shooting since the 70s. It looks like new and I use it very often. .22 ammo isn't going to "wear it out".
You would love one made in 1970 with full target options Gary if you have a steady hand and good eyes that gun will put six rounds in one hole at 25 yards. Trust me.
