I was in my local Pawn Store/Gun Dealer and saw a SS what I thought was a 357 but when I looked at it, it was a .22 magnum. Did they make anything besides magnum in .22? Darn that 8″ with all that barrel inside is as heavy a .22 as I have ever seen. Wish I had the coin for it, looked unfired.Cry

Really? It said .22 Magnum??Surprised Holy crap.

There's a lot of the .22 LR guns floating around (even a couple listed in the for sale section right now), but this is the first I've heard of a Mag found in captivity.lol2 DW had them listed in the brochures, along with pics, so I knew they had to at least have made a few of them...just haven't seen one yet.

That is THE .22 DW that I'd love to get my hands on, and if I had any more than two nickels to rub together right now, I'd be begging you for this dealer's contact info right now!Laugh

Ok, I lied. This is one of two .22's I want to own...the other is a SS 10" IHMSA gun just like our friend IHMSA80x80 has. That one is cool too.Cool

How about the dealer's info?

A 22Mag would certainly be a cool addition.  Guys since visitors to the forum do not have to register to see post I would suggest bnitch PM the information to zoommb. This is a pretty rare DW and I would like to see someone on the forum pick this one up! Range Time

I can't wait to hear how much it is myself!

I'm going to have to go back tomorrow and check on the price. the entire cylinder face was counter sunk which I found odd. But for sure it was a .22 WMR cause its been a long time since I had anything to do with .22's and asked if long rifle would fit and almost got laughed out the door. The price was around $450. This is where I bought my unfired model 14 for $400 and they have a 4" porkchop in the case also. In the last 6 months I've seen one Pistol Pack and one SS model 15 HV 8". In the same case.

Zoommb,

Eager to see the pics of the rare find if you land it.  Sounds like a real treasure.

zoommb-

It's a good thing that you you got firsties on this one, I might have had to do something stupid. I'm still sort of thinking about getting a cylinder reamed and fitted for my 722. Cylinder is about $100, need to ask my gunsmith if he wants to try doing this for me rather than sending it in.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Just a little input on the 22 mag. About a year ago I found a 22VH mag 8" barrel and shroud. Bought it and did not even have the pistol yet. I knew someday.. Sure enought , one morning on GB was listed a Blue 22 mag 2"VH pistol.. Buy it now @ $500.00 and I did .. Not often found as most of you already know.. Now resideing in a PP case off of Aution Arms.. Does any one have the whereabouts of a 6" and 4" stamped Monson 22 mag shroud.. The 22LR barrels are the same..Laugh

GTDW Laugh rofl  I'm ecstatic!  I got it and my wife is OK with it even though I bought 2 others this month.  Cost me $535, $500 + tax; no shipping.  It was a great deal and offsets the ridiculous price for the 722VH8 - lr- that she wanted.  I already have a PP case for it because I lost count when I was foraging for PP's and bought 1 too many.poke

Now, I'm really down to needing only (aside from a few roll-marked barrels) a 7414 to complete my collection.

I will post new pics to my collection post as soon as I can.

Hey Zoommb, 

You are a little ahead of me. I'm actually trying to get one in each caliber as well but still have the following to go:

375 SuperMag
45 Colt
22 Mag
32-20
38 Special

I just knocked of the 357 SuperMag last week!  Glad a member was able to pick this one up!  We're all looking forward to photos!

Well Jody, I have to admit that I now have a 722M and if, by .38 Special, you mean a Lil' Dan and not a service gun, I have one of those too.  However, I never got the point of the 375SM or even the 45 Colt.  Now if the 32 was a 327 Federal Magnum...

Oh well, I'm glad my collection is almost complete (for my wants), because we've got our first grandchild comong in a few weeks and I know that is going to be a major $$$ bleed.Laugh

Good deal, glad you got it. They would have gone $50 under what ever its marked at, that is their standard way of doing business. Now If I can just find a 6" shroud for my 14 that has a higher rib I'd be happy too.

As I had said they also have a 4" porkchop in the case, if anyone needs one.

Hey zoommb...great score! Got it for a good price too. Looking forward to the pics.

About that .22 Mag on GB...the slots are not factory, it was done by an individual. I will try to look it up in the archives, but for some reason, I believe it was originally a .22LR also.

Searching...

Hey Zoommb,

I actually have a Little Dan and I forgot about this when I made my list this morning! Laugh  A model 745 is the highest on my want list but those are about as rare as the 722M.  I'm glad you picked that one up!

So do you know what your grand-baby is going to be?

OK, that didn't take too long.

The gun was originally a .22LR. Purchased used and in poor condition, the owner reamed it out himself for the .22 Mag, then did the slots himself.  Caveat emptor.
