Had a blast today. Very happy my wife is also into SNS. Smile

I gotta ask my friends here a few questions though. First off, what you think of my new SNS? Smile

Hope i did good.

The black one is a Jennings 22. I was easily able to take this one down. Man it was dirty. Either previous owner didn't care or have the pation of SNS like I do, or just didn't know how to Take her down. Range report to follow. Hope to go tomorrow. The only concern i have is the firing pin as it seemed a little small on the firing pin end. I need to find a good one so i can compare with mine. If you got a known good one "firing pin" share a pic so i can compare with mine.

The Chrome or gold one. Not sure what it is. I cant find nothing on the internet. It's a .25 Cal Guardian. Says F.I.E. CORP Miami, FL on the other side. How do i take this one down to clean it?

Thanks guys! Keep up the great site.
John

Farmkid, You Rock.

Wife says many many thanks. She sitting here cleaning it now!

Thank you again! How old you think the gun is? 60's, 70's? What you think the value would be? I know guns like this SNS have more value to you and me as we appreciate them. But what you think?

My firing pin for the Jennings 22 is just like this one Gun Broker. Is this stubby firing pin correct? I figured the pin side that strikes the bullet was to short and stubby, but then i saw this on gun broker. Is this legit? If so then i should be good and will head to the range manana.

The firing pin is the correct one for the Jennings J22. It could be that you have a later model take-down button with a larger hole (the JA22 and some very late J22's had this) to accomodate the "cocked indicator." Your best bet would be to post a picture of the assembled pistol from the take-down button end with the pistol in the "cocked" position.

As for the FIE, it appears to be their version of the Italian Regarmi Galesi which was built until the 1970s. If so, the pistol is a post-1968 ban, which likely would put the build date sometime in the 1970s or early 1980s.

The striker pin for the rimfire is much shorter than for the centerfire cartridges. The J-22 has an ejector in the frame and doesn't require the pin to assist in case ejection like a .32 or .380.

Congrats on the Guardian! It has the Miami, FLA assembly stamp, so it is post '68.

All .25 ACP are more or less the same. Any store bought .25 and you should be fine.

I meant to share with you all pictures of the Guardian when we cleaned it. Wife found it has a crack? What you think?

Able to fire? or Just a nice relic now?

Is that just on the side shown or on both sides? I would say from this view to continue using it but keep a close eye on it. (I am no expert, nor do I even play one on any forum) Wink
