really? interesting. I wonder what my old model 17 is worth then. Lotsa good memories in that little 22. It’s had thousands of rounds through it. whenever a get together with friends and relatives it would be the last gun put away out of the whole group. the shooting outing always ended up with my 22 smith being passed from hand to hand each taking turns shooting it.
literally thousands of rounds. A thousand rounds in one day has been done by that 22 smith. The bluing on the barrel has turned purple-ish. I assume from the heat.
