22 jet
« on: September 19, 2009, 10:31:55 AM »
I am looking to see if this barrel has any real collector value or should it just be shot ? Any estimates of value?
 I have no digital camera at this time to post pics so I will have to try to describe it . octogon barrel blue 10 inch 22 jet that looks every bit of new in the box .The front sight is like like none i have seen , It has a small hump near the base . The rear sight is different than what I am used to also , It uses small c clip to hold the windage screw in . below is as close as I can get on this key board to show the writing on the barrel ,It is more of 2 lines with the 22jet part spliting the 2 (i know clear as mud)

Your barrel sounds like a Type 3 circa 1973-75.   Not really collectable as per se other than 22 Jets don't come along every day.   I sold one like it that was mint (but without box) not that all that long ago for $165 if I remember right.   If you like to deal with making brass, they are good shooters.

Now if it was a 8 3/4" Type 1 Octagon 22 Jet on a '67 flatside frame....   ;)
Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

I sold my 10" octagon .22 Jet ~ 2 months ago for $165 also, after I picked up the same caliber a 14" T/C Custom Shop barrel.  Graffs has brass in stock for less than you can fool with forming it.
