The guy I bought it from had used it in Bullseye competition; this was in 1968, when everyone was switching to auto-loaders. Of course, it's a 6" barrel job. Don't remember what I paid for it, probably $100.00 or so.jdunmyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09304517693383396419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-36553463928485692732012-12-30T11:17:43.756-05:002012-12-30T11:17:43.756-05:00Ya done 'way good on both of 'em.

Willard's 10 round strings were a bit slower than mine, though. <br /><br />But one quibble. Inflation is a bit steeper than 7X in 45 years. Remember, while the tab for a box of cornflakes has gone up by pennies in the last four years, that "16" ounce box is now only 11 ounces. In a box with the same face size but two thirds the depth. <br /><br />Real inflation since '68 is just under 10.9 X - and the annual rate since '09 is about 10 percent. <br /><br />StrangerStrangerhttp://extranosalley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-70606013772203530342012-12-30T09:09:02.572-05:002012-12-30T09:09:02.572-05:00ROBERTA !

I don't know if it "shot" as in shoot neat groups. It's job was to make cans bounce and dirt clods explode, and it did that well. I recall being impressed with the tight lockup and generally good quality for such a cheap gun.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00034752526895428019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-81719571362021980362012-12-30T07:09:44.450-05:002012-12-30T07:09:44.450-05:00The K-22 is a sweetheart to shoot.
