Just an old Rough Rider .22. About the cheapest gun you can get, but they work, flawlessly. Got the jewelry box for $3. You'd have to see the box in person. One of my 1-in-20 projects, where I knocked it out the park.
Gunsmithing his weapon got me fiddling with mine. Put the "bird's head" grips and scales back on. Not quite as practical to draw and handle as the classic frame, works a treat nonetheless! .22LR or .22WMR, as it please ya gunslinger. Long days and pleasant nights. See ya at the clearing at the end of the path.

One of my friends dad went out and bought the carbine version made the year his son was born, and gave it to him on his 12th birthday.
Was one of the first guns I shot. First was some .22 Ruger.
We would go out to this farmer's field and shoot gophers. Made 15 cents a tail.
Those were some good days.

Pew pew responsibly, friend!

Used to think those were crazy safe, and the hammer-block safety is!, but that big trigger loop makes it easy to slip a finger in there when unintended. I've worked out to draw and drop the safety in (nearly) one motion. Won't drop the safety otherwise. Bit atypical from other pistols.

Really nice!

Thank you very much! The labor seen here is, well, boring to talk about, but both pieces were real work, hours and experience. And even more past fails.

Nice work! Bird’s head grips are best for pocket and vest or inside coat carry. Smaller butt, less snaggy bits. Or so I’ve been told…. +1

Thought about an open-carry on the low down, at night, just hiking the woods around here. It's not terribly obvious to most when holstered. So I'm told...
