Oh boy that brings memories... I have a Jennings J 22 from the same family of guns and it works when it wants to. I bought it new about forty years ago and even though it's not real dependable I'll never sell it. She is in her original box with manual , sentimental value I guess. Nice to see you in a gun video Rob.
Awesome! I have the Jennings 32 & it’s pretty reliable. You are lucky you found your spring I had to order a new one and it took two years to find the old one
I picked up a new J22 back in 89 too. And I got it for $50. I gave it to my then new wife. It was the first gun she owned. She carried it for several years and it was her house gun. I eventually gave her a new Taurus 38 snub and she gave me the Jennings back. I ended up using it in a trade I made. I have had several of the Jennings 22's, 380's and a 9mm or two over the years. I honestly had pretty good luck out of these ole cheap guns.
I love the ring of fire guns and their descendants like this one. Can be traced back to the Ravens of the early 70s. Typically they run ok and parts are plentiful. Enjoy it!
Not high quality, but they do kinda shoot. 25 is pretty anemic, but I don't want to stand in front of it. Your price was not that bad. I'm seeing these at shows for upwards of two bills. A fun addition to the collection for sure!
