taphandle
Bearcat
Every gun show I always keep an eye out for an old 3 screw that I wouldn't feel bad about putting some wear and tear on as my others have become safe queens to me. So yesterday I find one at an older gentlemans table with some honest looking wear on it and the tag said $395. I was sold already but upon closer look I see that it's a flat top and that's all she wrote.
I'm quite happy with it. Rugers site dates it to 1958 (give or take I guess), It has a 222 prefix, the loading gate and top strap are nicely plummed and all in all it's in pretty good shape. The bad part is, I beleive the grip is not original or even the correct one. I'm hoping someone can tell me if it is or not but I'm not sure you can tell by just a pic. Either way I think it was a pretty good find.
