Was made out of sheet metal stampings... http://www.guns.com/2013/08/10/sheridan-knocabout-the-lost-22-pistol/ Bob If you can not deal with reality, reality will deal with you....

I never took pictures when I was running a trap line. I take that back. I trapped a few beaver out of a stream for a lady who let me hunt groundhogs on her place in Montgomery County Maryland and I've got a few prints around here from that; but that's it.

The Ruger is a 1958 that some prior owner outfitted with a new front sight and a Micro rear sight. The rifle is a Winchester 1902 that had a broken stock when I bought it. I used it for a pattern and made the maple stock that's on it. Not a great stock but a pretty faithful recreation of the original except for being maple instead of walnut. Both have hundreds of coyotes to their credit. And more than a few badger, coon, beaver and bobcat. Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

My trapping gun in high school was my SAA Colt Scout .22 I always thought the Ruger Bearcat ought to be the perfect trappers sidearm.
