S&W K-22 First Model Outdoorsman

[Calfed]

I glommed this S&W .22 Outdoorsman this weekend at an auction. Only have the auction pics at this time...

Beautiful!

I've often thought it would be nice to have a swing out cylinder. That one would satisfy me as much as a new S&W 617 10-shot.

 

[Driftwood Johnson]

Hmmmm...........looks strangely familiar.

Did you get it yet?

 

[Calfed]

Thanks, guys!

Yep, Driftwood...I guess I'm pretty proud of it. Might have gone overboard posting it around the forums.

 

[Driftwood Johnson]

So did you get it yet?

Does it have the Call front sight?

 

[Calfed]

Has not arrived yet. What does the Call front sight look like?

Here is an auction picture of the front sight

Outstanding...pure eye-candy for those of us that are Old-Smith lovers. Rod

Very very nice. Doesnt get much better period.

 

[Driftwood Johnson]

What does the Call front sight look like?

Like this.

A stainless disk inlet into the rear face of the front sight. Sometimes gold or ivory. I think I see a hint of it in your photo.

I bought something similar to put on my M-21 classic but don't remember it called a Call. It doesn't pick up the glare like the half moon original did.

Driftwood, I think you are right.

 

[Ricklin]

Yup

Sure looks like it to me. Congrats, that's a beaut. Do you mind sharing what the $$$ damage to the ol toy fund was?

 

[Calfed]

I finally got to bring the Outdoorsman home.

The grips are in excellent shape and numbered to the revolver.

Bluing and metal match the condition of the grips

Except for a nasty patch of pitting on the barrel

a nasty patch of pitting

A little 'character' never hurt a gun. It's less likely to become a safe queen.

You ARE going to shoot it aren't you? Looking forward to a range report.

 

[Calfed]

Definitely going to shoot it.

 

[CajunBass]

Not bad. Not bad a'tall.

 

[Driftwood Johnson]

Howdy

I'd like to see a photo of that Call sight.

 

[reddog81]

That's a nice looking .22 in amazing condition. I'll need to keep my eye out for one of those. My 1920's M&P Target in 38 needs a companion.

Howdy

I'd like to see a photo of that Call sight.

Here ya go, DJ...

I think that dates to 1938. I'm pretty sure the front sight is not factory.
