Inherited a few of my grandpas guns. An old Long Tom 12, a Red Ryder BB gun, and this RG 22. It takes down kind of weird. You have to unscrew the cylinder to reload it. Standard 6 shot. I've just never heard of them. My uncle cleaned it and shot it, so I know it works. Probably going to use it to teach my kids how to shoot in a few years.

Probably. I'm horrible with a long gun.

RG's are pretty much junk. I don't think they've been manufactured/imported for the past 25 years.

I have an old one that was given to me many years ago. Mine has the .22 LR cylinder and the .22 mag cylinder. Both are so far out of time that they spray slivers of lead onto my hand as the bullets are "forced" into the barrel.

This is the one gun I'll gladly turn in during a "buy back" program.

Thanks. From the looks of it that's what I was thinking. There was also a Lorcin .380 that my aunt took. I told her it was probably not accurate and likely to not work that well but she wanted it.

Seriously, don't let your aunt think that thing will work when her life depends on it. Those are complete junk.

I inherited one from my Grandfather as well.
Decent plinking pistol. mostly an heirloom that is only worth the rounds in it. I have the original box and the price tag on it was 26 dollars in the early 70's.
It is the type of pistol John Hinckley used in his assassination attempt of Reagan.

I know. I told her if she ever had to use it in self defense to throw it at her attacker instead. I think she just wants it because it was her dad's gun, but it is a POS. I showed her my LCP and told her if she wants a .380 to actually use to get one of those.

Did Hinckley's pistol jam?
