Hi, folks. Nice to be around.
I have a question. Y'all might be the place to get an answer.
Several years ago I bought a pair of very weird (@ least to me) single shot break action handguns, one with ~9" barrel in .22, the other with ~5" barrel in .22mag. I bought the critters because of their oddity, & because the one in standard .22 looked like something that might be a nice, very compact little canoe gun with the addition of a light-weight folding stock. The store manager seemed to see them as inseparable, but he went down to $59 for the pair, so I bought both of the things.
These guys are made (I'm pretty sure; the stamping depth & spacing is extremely uneven) by a company called Rexio in Argentina, & imported by VAM Dist. Co., Wooster, Ohio. Apparently all steel. The external finish is extremely rough. I've been told that they're mimics of a contemporaneous gun made by a larger & better-known company, but that's all I've heard.
Accuracy is surprisingly good. They're both extremely precise in bullet placement & have unusually high quality adjustable rear & front (banded-on adjustable Partridge-style) sights. The pair of sight sets is reusable, & is probably worth more than the pair of guns they're attached to. Each gun has a little Schnabeled rifle-style forearm (no kidding) made of some dark grey rubber-like compound. The grips are of the same stuff, conform exactly to the shape of the grip frame, & are "cowboy" style & size, resembling those of an 1873 Army.
My question is:
Since the grips look standard, are grip panels to fit this weirdo available on the market that have, or will accommodate, a folding wire frame stock?
Thanks for any input,
John Cooper (theprof.101@me.com)
