Don't think that qualifies as a .22 LR revolver.

Gary D. I feels yo pain--been there, done that. Too many recessions; too many moves; too few nice guns....

Are you sure? I used to buy Federal "Champion" fmj brass cased 9mm ammo at Walmart for $9.87 per 50 pack. Not a lot more money then .22lr and lot more bang.

Very nice.
I see a lot of mention in ads and posts about cylinder "drag marks", that line that's scratched in the bluing. Guns with them bring less money than clean guns.
I see different reasons given for them from dirt in the frame/cylinder area to spinning cylinders when the gun is not at full cock. Big deal other than cosmetics?
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

All S&W's have a cylinder line, some more, some less. More from closing the cylinder than shooting. When tuning, I stone the leading edge of the locking bolt so it doesn't get any worse. Not a big deal. My .22 Combat Masterpiece on page 1 is worse, it more beat-up but shoot fine. About 10% of condition adds about 25% in price, but all the 50's vintage K-22 are currently very desirable leading many greedy dealers to gouge! or at least try to if the buyers support it... A guy named Bain at gunsinternational.com has some very clean ones. I've never dealt with him? http://www.gunsinternational.com/adv_search_results.cfmBTW, I've lost count of the .22's -- ??!!?? but I don't do multiples of the same model like some guys do. Good Luck Rob!

earlier today i looked at 5 screw k38 with partridge sight on 6" barrel. it is in top shape (ie no visible wear). for $550 it's a lot of gun for the money.

One reason quality 1950s DA revolvers of all calibers are in high demand is that CA state law allows the "import" of C&R qualified handguns from out of state, so any that are 1959 are deemed "safe" by our "Department of Justice." 1960 and later guns (even if otherwise identical) are "unsafe". Makes sense, no? In "1984", anyway....

I have a C&R myself so I have figured out that any pre model K-22 is over 50 years old and eligible. Around here it costs $50-75 to have a handgun transferred through an FFL. That's money I would rather out into the gun than the transfer.
Problem is I have run into several sellers on GB that don't care if it's C&R eligible, they have told me straight out they are scared to send a handgun to a C&R and won't do it, even if it means they take less money for the gun (less bidders, lower price).
"My FFL will not ship to a C&R holder. That's his policy and he's my shipping Agent."
"In 35 years, we have dealt enough with BATF that we just don't risk our license on technicalities. Field agents just don't like to be told or proven wrong. And those are the people we have to deal with and inspect our books."
A few others basically saying the same thing....

Steve, maybe two years ago I bought a G&H Savage 99 from Bain, drove down to a VA show to see it. Nice condition, high but fair price. Would cheerfully deal with him again.
