Another Inexpensive .22
 Picked up this Rossi .22 revolver for next to nothing. Was a 4 inch barrel, cut down to 3 inches. Looks like they did a nice job on it. Gun had original box and papers too.

good job
Yes it does seem pretty slick. Is the front sight pinned in place? And what appears to be a T-grip to boot. Somebody spent a bit of money on that pistol.

Where do you find all the coolest guns? I love the wood and steel guns that you regularly post pictures of.

I have a really good pawn shop near me, and a gun store that still likes stuff besides Glocks.

That looks old enough to date to before Rossi was acquired by Taurus. Looks like a nice find.

3 inch barrel for a .22 LR wheelgun is IMO the sweet spot. You gain more sight radius over a snub, maybe a little more velocity, but you still have a pretty compact gun and whatever is gained in power with a lower barrel isn't enough to justify the larger size.
Even with a chopped barrel that looks odd with markings cut off, that's not a bad buy. Good job.
