Gun Picture Thread

The stock on the Bekeart had some damage that I repaired, but the rest of it is in very good shape. It is or was very accurate when my eyes were able to see the fine front sight bead. The fine machine work around the knurled extractor rod is an example of how they don't make them like they used too.

The prewar kit gun is one of those grail guns, a 1953 22/32 is as close as I have got to one. The second photo shows the ill-fitting non original stocks, Finding affordable period correct I-frame grips is next to impossible

Really nice Kit Gun. My son has a couple of K-22’s dating around 1946-1948 that are great shooters. His latest one has the original gold box and screwdriver. It was a steal at $900. Just about pristine, it has a little wear at the front of the barrel from sitting in the box all those years but I don’t think it’s had a box of .22’s through it.

Been a while, 10 years or more, but the last time I was actively looking at pre 17 K22s, beaters were 4-500ish, shooter grades were 6-8, in the box was 1200ish, any special features like Roper grips, a King's front sight could be much more. I had a serious K38 addiction for a while, when they could be had for under 150 to 200 bones all day long. I remember flinching when I picked up a NIB 14-4 for 300 and thought I paid 50 too much, I still love that gun, it makes me look good.

My son has two pre number (maybe more), and one Model 14 that appears to be NIB. A Model 14 was my first centerfire back in the early 70’s. A perfect blend of size & weight. Seems like they were a bit over a $100 in those days.

Shot thousands of wadcutters I loaded with an old Lyman All American turret press (the one that looks like a Star). I owned several over the years.

The model's name before it was a Model 14 was "Target Masterpiece" or just Masterpiece, a well earned moniker IMHO. I too roll my own cartridges, not that it saves me any money, I just get to shoot a lot more for the same amount, and I can tune my loads for the gun or the game.
