I'm from California and I got arrested for watching this video a few months ago just came back to say how much I liked it. I'll be right back I'm getting arrested again for commenting. It was worth it though
Man, I must be getting old. I remember buying RG revolvers for $25 from people needing rent/gas money...Had a dresser drawer full of them and used them for trade material. I also used to buy .22 ammo for .98 a box
Those prices on the .22 boxes made me laugh! I remember going into the old Ames Department store years ago and buying boxes of .22 LR for $.95 each, or a brick of 500 for $9.00.
Yep, when I was a teenager you could get those boxes of 50 22LR for 1.50$ or so in a convenience store just about anywhere. I've shot I don't know how many thousands of them. 🤓🍻
In 2002 I bought a A K 47 sitting infront of a gun store in fl. I was there buying exploding .38 cal bullets . A man in a city fire department jacket walked out with a A.K and a 5 gallon bucket of steal cased 7.62*.39 bullets I got all of that for 300$
That RG is the unicorn of Saturday night specials... it's worth about $150 in 2022... my.. how times have changed.. And yes there are people who collect those old RG's...
I remember getting the box of "Golden Bullets" when they came in what looked like a small milk carton. 500 for 12 bucks or so. It would last a couple of weeks. Good times! 🤓🍻
My grandad collected a few rifles. Some were muzzle loaders, others looked like the mosan nagant. Although, I wasn't old enough to possess them, when he had to move, so he just sold them.
@Infandous Ktenology he got 2 old decent pocket pistols, a super nice plinker and a bunch of old ammo all for a boring overpriced glock. Definitely a win.
The best part is pulling out each piece and box of ammo and think about all those little details...why was this gun bought? Was it a Christmas gift? ...was that ammo bought for a camping and shooting trip? Good times
Holy crap, talk about a blast from the past. I'm 29 years old and when I was 8 my dad had went through a horrible divorce from his wife and I went through hell to end up with him. Because of all of this my dad was absolutely going through a midlife crisis and he did everything he could to make sure my brother and I were happy since we just went from a big family with 4 kids down to us 2 on 40 acres and no one for miles. Things weren't great but we didn't suffer. Being a kid and doing what kids do I snuck into my dad's room one day and did some looking. I found a brand new box of broadheads and a bolt action 22LR. When asked what I wanted for Christmas I described that black 22LR and a new box of broadheads for deer season. My dad obviously knew but didn't say anything. When I opened up that box with that .22 in it I was in heaven. It came with 4 500 count bricks of Winchester Wildcat ammo. I burned through those in maybe a week and when we went to Wal-Mart to get more I would clean them out, 1. Because a BRICK was $8.00 before tax and a 50 round box was .50 cents. When they went up to $10.00 a brick and .75 cents a box I felt like that was wayyyy too high. Now when I see 325 count boxes selling for $75 - $100 a box I can't believe it. I live in a decent sized town (70,000 people before the massive tornado) and there was only one shop here that consistently had .22 ammo and it was all around $100.00 a box. It turns out that the gun shop owner would send people out every day to buy all the .22 ammo they could and bring it back so he could sell it for a markup. I was at academy one night and ran into some of these guys, I knew exactly what they were doing and I admittedly played a big roll in what happened by opening my mouth and saying that what they're doing was pretty shitty. There were quite a few people in there and no one was really happy about what had been going on so these guys were getting a lot of grief. When I left the store these 2 guys were circled by a group of guys who let them know exactly how they felt and what was going to happen. The guys could either sell the ammo for what they paid for it, or they could lose the ammo right there and they could handle things a different way. From what I overheard, these guys made their money back, sold all that ammo, and basically swore to god that they would never do that again and they only did it because they made $10.00 off of each box. It was pretty sketchy but it put an end to that issue. I ran over 50,000 rounds of .22LR through that gun, I actually wore a hole in the bolt, but due to the price of ammo I haven't bought a box in store for almost 10 years. Seeing that Winchester Wildcat really took me back to being a kid 21 years ago.
I don’t blame you one bit. We had 4 or 5 guys doing the exact same thing in our area. I had a ginormous stock of .22 built up before the Obama administration started buying up all the .22 LR ammo. How do I know the government was buying up all the .22lR ammo. I have a very good friend who works in procurement for the U.S.Army. He said they were getting 20 to 30 pallets of plain white boxes of 22lR a week. He told me that in 2015 they had in storage over 55 million .22 LR rounds. He said that the Army had developed a way to use them as a means of shooting them through the m16 a4. When he retired in 2017 they had no longer been getting the shells however they had not moved any of them out also. He said that he had been told that they were buying up the ammo to try to curb gun violence. As we all know every big criminal always uses a .22LR in all of their crimes. To make a long story short these 5 guys would go in right when the ammo would come in and buy all of the shells that they could get their hands on. Then that night like clockwork they would put them on Facebook. Yes I know Facebook doesn’t allow guns and ammunition to be sold using their service, yeah right. It goes on every day, still does. They had paid maybe 65 dollars for a brick of .22 LR. Then turn around and sell them for 100 to 125 a brick. Us moderators and admin decided that about 8 months before the election that they got booted off of every sportsmen page on Facebook plus we got the word out to everyone in our area who they were and what they were doing. Like any good set of neighbors do if one of us would go to Texas or Arkansas. We’d pick up a bunch of shells. Then we’d sell them to our friends at a small profit. Like .25 cents a box or 5 dollars a brick higher just to pay for our time and gas money. After President Trump got elected .22LR. Started showing up again at fairly good prices. I heard one of the guys got stuck with 9000 dollars worth of .22 shells that is now worth about 2500 dollars. I hope he chokes on them. Reason number 302 while I’ll never vote for a liberal again. True story. Look it up it’s right here on RUclips.
I have a 30 pound box of my mom's baseball cards, alot unopened still with the gum.. my uncle... had stamps, I have both boxes, probably worth a nice bit
The Masked Survivor I bought another house 5 years ago, and some electricians do work in the attick, it was full of sports cards in boxes, some were pretty old , but most were from the 70's and 80's , the electrician was more concerned with the cards than his job . someday I'll go through them , when i have a week or 2 to do it in....lol.
@@chriscarson8418 A stainless Mk2 in box will easily got 4-500, a used gen 3 Glock 27 is in the same price range and is also a gun that is easily outdone by many others if you are genuinely concerned about a decent daily carry.
well-quite a find! your "RG31" is actually made in germany(but assembled in the us if after1982/83) a simple but very sturdy gun of german design by roehm companie of sontheim, w. germany
I have one. of those Ruger MK ll pistols I had bought in the early 80's still with the box. Fun to shoot and never had it jam or fail to work! I loved seeing one in a video!
The Mohawk .22 shells were made for a few years around the early to mid 1970s. They were cheap .22 shells for people who just wanted to shoot their .22. They were replaced by the wildcat .22s as the ammo of choice for plinkers on a very tight budget and all they wanted was something that went down the barrel of their .22.
Oh man! TG&Y! I grew up in New Mexico and I remember my mom taking me there on a Saturday. They were like a Walmart, had everything there. But the store was much smaller. Brings back memories. Thanks for sharing.
Watching you sift through it all brought back memories, especially the .22 box. I had the same confusion when I was going through my gramps ammo. Its .22wrf, old timey ammo used in the Winchester model 1890. I found .357 s&w, .38 special, .44 mag. Old price tag on a box of 100 .22lr was .99c in the 70s. What a time to stock up.
My grandfather is getting unhealthy and can’t shoot anymore. He passed on his gun collection to me. Nothing outrageous but some cool guns none the less. An old Stevens single barrel shotgun. (I think that’s how you say it). I got a few old semi automatic 1970s .22lr’s. Couple of those 25 pocket handguns. And a Lee enfield
My Dad left me his 1911. I still bet my life on my high-cap 9 but I take apart my 1911, at least, once a day, just to marvel at the genius it took to design. John Moses Browning really had his shit together.
Cool my grandfather he was a first class sergeant in the United States 75th rangers in ww2 he got 2 bring tons of guns home if you believe me on this or not I don't give a damn but he brought back 2 mg42s and a lot of other german and Italian weapons
My first pistol was an RG .38 exactly like that. Got it from an old bailiff with some +P wadcutters. The only info I found was that they were intended to be cheap throwaway backups. Not the most accurate but really fun to shoot.
Pretty sweet. I inherited a little grab bag from father in law. Mossberg 500 with gold trigger wood stock, a Dan Wesson 357 , a Ruger 22/45, a Model 77 I think it is , synthetic .22 Rifle. I think this is Remington.
The third pistol you pulled out isn't manufactured very well! The slide is cast and can over heat easy! Mine blew up on me while shooting it! So if you shoot it. Just peck around with it. Don't empty the clip 10 times in a row lol
I remember remington .22's at $.050 a box. I bought .22 Lr for $8 and change for a brick of 500 back in the early to mid 90's. Prices went up fast, and will probably never come back down.
That's all we had in the everglades , wildcat .22 they came 50 per box , for ¢ .50 , lol... That was in the 70's ... You could get an icee and a candy bar for .11 cents Those were the days .
Tomlinson, Goslin & Young. Last of the great 5-10 cent variety store chains. Like Woolworth's. My first job was a stock boy in a Southern California store (1967?). Ended up managing 2 of there smaller stores. I rember the larger "Super Centers" having guns and such. My dad had a cigar box with an old top-break .38 S&W he carried during WWII. Became mine when he passed. Sits with the display of his medals and ribbons. Great video by the way.
Interesting, The store in my little town had a sign in the window that said toys games and yardage, so I always assumed that's what it stood for. My mom bought all her frabic there and was always making us kids clothes. I guess I was still pretty young when they closed the store in our town, but for whatever reason I dream often about the store and wandering around in it through the toy section then over into sporting goods. It's a shame how things have turned out nowadays.
I had an RG-32 revolver exactly like yours. I recognized it immediately when you took it out by the plastic grips and the push-rod. It was a good little shooter. I bought it from a guy at a filling station for very little $ but I enjoyed it. After a few years, my house was burglarized and some low-life stole it. I miss the little shooter!
Cool video. I'd be careful with that 38 it looks like it might just come apart at any time it decides it want's to. I'd say the best thing in your bag would be the Mark 2. Good score.
I have been shooting a Ruger MKII since 1981! K Mart had those bricks of Wild Cat .22 rf. on sale for $5.00 a brick of 500. That was in the mid 1980's. I think I may have a box or 2 still around. So yes I remember those prices. lol
I remember going to a store in Kansas city called wild woodies, and we could get a brick of 22 long rifle for $2.50. We would go to our grandmother's farm in south Missouri target shooting and squirrel hunting.
Love the Glock 23 ! To me its the perfect carry handgun. I love and trust the 40 cal round. Just above the 9mm and just under the 45 cal. Great stopping power. Just my opinion, doesn't mean its the right carry weapon for everyone, just me.
Just a tip if you plan on selling any of those don't clean them make sure they're functional and safe of course, but that aging in cases can add value to a gun. Take em to a reputable gun shop near you and they can tell you about rarity, value, legality where you live etc...
Hows this for cheap: I started shooting at a local "day camp", which was largely a place parents dumped their kids during the summer months to keep us out of trouble. I think it was run by the YMCA, and this was probably around '75. The range guns were .22 bolt action, with separate manual cocking - kind of a "boy's first rifle" design probably bought in the early '60s. We had to buy our own rounds - .22 shorts (it was a 10 - 15 yard range; this was definitely a setup for little kids to learn the basics). You bought the rounds at the snack shop with tickets - they didn't let the kids run around with cash, so the parents had to buy us tickets to use for sodas and whatnot. Each ticket was 25 cents, and a box of 50 rounds was 2 tickets, so 50 cents or *one cent* per round. The camp made a profit off these sales, too.
The "RG" stands for "Röhm"? Its a German gun company (I am from Germany too) and was always known for good quality until hey got bought by UMAREX like 10 Years ago. I had some Röhm Blank Guns (thanks to german laws i don't have real ones) and i never had Problems with them. But I know that Röhm also made some junk like the little Röhm .22 short revolver. But Im pretty sure the .38 is a solid gun. Not the best .38 but also absolutely not the worst.
Not with my age. Im 22 so I am only allowed to have .22lr guns. No centerfire ammunition and guns. You can own like .38 special, 9mm, .308 ... With 25 years of age and proper license.
Germany makes excellent guns. If I were to buy a gun that I know is solid quality and well designed and if I saw made in Germany on it, I would buy it. You need only to look at the Mauser 98. To this day it is the standard that all bolt action rifles are compared to. Oh yeah, here in America we copied so many things from the Mauser 98 for our 1903 Springfields that we had to pay patent use fees to Germany.
I don’t know if there’s a big crossover of JHS pedal show watchers who are also watching this, but when he said “It HAS the box” I was waiting for a little jingle.
spent a lot of my young life in a TG&Y store looking at guns and knives just a dreaming while Mom shopped. mowed a ton of lawns one summer and bought a Western Bowie Knife i still have it and it still looks new. worth way more than i paid for it now.
That .22WRF is different from .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum. It can't be fired in either caliber gun, as .22 WRF is a "specialty" chambering, and no guns have been made for that round since the 1960s. The RG "Rohm" revolver - I wouldn't shoot anything other than wadcutter ammo in it because those guns had Aluminum frames, and the metal used wasn't great quality. Getting mags for that Raven .25 shouldn't be much trouble.
Kevin S. The 22 Magnum read[22 Winchester Rim Fire magnum] is the longer version of the Winchester Rim Fire which is no longer produced. It can be fired in the W.R.F.M. chamber but will cause throat erosion
Pops Quest+ That was a good move to swap the barrel out of your 27 for a 9mm I did that with my 23C. Did you just change the barrel or did you also do the ejector and other parts? Regardless of the parts, how did it run, did you put a lot of ammo through it? I've heard people having good luck with and without swapping out all the correct parts to change caliber from .40 to 9mm. Thanks for the video, I love digging through old stuff like that. My fiance's great, great uncle will be 104 this spring, he was born in 1915 and was 14 when the STOCK MARKET CRASHED IN 1929 AND STARGED THE GREAT DEPRESSION! In World War 2 he was in the Air Force, stationed in England and he was a sheetmetal fabricator and he repaired the bomber planes when they came back to base and had body damage from getting shot at in the midway. He has 10 acres on his property, along with 2 garages, 2 polebarns and 2 barns, he owns about 8 vintage tractors from 1930's-60's and he built a good size machine shop in one of his polebarns! Very cool man, indeed! I could listen to his stories all day long!
rchopp sorry but back when you couldn’t find 22 LR ammo I’ve seen it go up to $100.00 a brick at gun show’s. Yes back I late 90’s you get a brick for $7.99 and under on sale. And I bought 22LR for c .49.
That Raven .25 ACP was made to fill a market gap after import of much nicer German .25 ACP pistols was banned. Some manufacturers sold their tooling to US manufacturers like Raven or Iver Johnson. I think the Raven was directly competing with Iver Johnson's copy of the German Erma EP-25 as the form and shape are very similar.
Cool little score. Other than the moisture ingress that seems apparent. Doesn't look like they've been in a controlled environment. I think older ammo is/was made to hold up better though.
I have the same model Ruger MKII. Excellent gun. Most reliable..22 auto I've ever owned. Can't easily find these guns any more of the second hand market. Especially LNIB like that. Congrats.
The 2 drop guns are now getting to be niche market collectibles. The Ruger MKII is worth more than the g27 with the conversion to 9mm. Great small game survival pistol. The RG from West Germany was a basic no frills carry piece. They made a lot of different grades in quality but none were bad. Now mostly the air gun copies of Uzi etc... is the bread and butter of their line. The Raven is the very definition of a Saturday Night Special. Depending when it was made mags currently are $20-50 USD Each. I can remember when a judge ordered 1 too be destroyed we took them to either the steel mill, went out 5 miles into the Atlantic with Coast Guard & dumped them but Ravens, South Arms, Jimenez Arms we just took an acetylene torch and melted them had a friend that was a sculptor & used sand castings when we had a dozen of these to destroy he brought up a melt pot and after stripping the grips + any plastic would melt them pour into a mold & made jewelry or mini retirement badges for me. Got the order complied with, his name known with artists and truly dangerous guns destroyed. Some would really blow up in your hand & the company is in business under a Nevada corporate owner. Quality is a little better but with the price being sold locally a Sig .380 is only $115 more & a Bersa $50 more. They were made of pot metal and even worse quality than a Hi-Point. BTW got a chance to fire the new 10mm Hi-Point, love the 10mm but save up for a Glock 20, or almost any other weapon. FBI if they plan on doing field work needs to go to .38/.357mag as a minimum caliber. If the agent can’t qualify with the weapon even after remedial training solution isn’t go to a weaker level it’s move the agent to something in an area where they don’t have need of defending others or thereselves. Would you let your dentist do a liver transplant??? Don’t dumb down the requirements for a task, have the person rise to meet the task.
That ruger isn't bad. I think you came out on top of this deal, I'd rather have that bag over the glock. Too bad it wasn't a government target model with the bull barrel, I have one and love it, for a .22 handgun with iron sights at a gun club I go to I can easily knock down bowling pins from 50 yards with 1 shot per pin. The ammo isn't extremely old unfortunately, a couple of those boxes might be worth throwing on a shelf. Some odd but decent burner guns you acquired from this deal.
I didn't even care what was in the box when you said you traded a Glock for it. The box alone is worth more then the Glock. LOL!!!! Dang, your pop had some gangsta guns! :) The revolver is a Rohm RG (German). Hinckley shot Reagan with a Rohm .22lr revolver. Just sayin'. :) They were some of the original 'Saturday Night Specials' that were cut off from being imported by the 1968 GCA. I do believe some were imported later (probably the .38SPL models). The second one is a Raven Arms from one of the 'Ring of Fire' companies in Southern California. Another 'Saturday Night Special', this one in .25ACP. There's a guy on YT (Gunwebsites) who collects those and has a ton of information if you're interested. The ammo collection is crazy. -Jen
My uncle, a WWII vet and bricklayer, passed away this summer. He left me a S&W mouse gun. Still works he was using the wrong ammo. Back in 2016 for my birthday my aunt gave me a Otis Smith made for the Civil War in Ct., revolver. May work but I ain't gonna shoot it.
You apparently never handled a RG before. That's what you have to do to load and unload it, plus if you shoot it's also make for removing the spent Shell's. That's one of the Guns that were
Just looked it up and yes it was Lennon's death that your thinking of. This RG was actually original "sat night special" example used in the justification of freedom stealing the Brady bill. these are cool lil fun revolvers. I had a tiny rg 22 one thing to watch one for the safetty mechanisn notch they have is often worn meaning it's like an old single action even tho it has a floating firing pin so check this before you load all and carry on all 6
The revolver is a Rohm. Made in Germany at first, then moved to Miami. Not very well made, not worth much either. I have a Rohm model 66, which is a .22 single action revolver that looks like a peacemaker. By the research I've done, the model 66 was thier best offering. Came with two cylinders, .22 lr ans .22 mag. Nice haul though! By the way, I also have boxes of .22 from wal mart that are marked .99 cents!
I think you got the better end of the deal. Those Ruger Mark IIs are fun little guns. I have one and it's one of my favorite to shoot. The brake down can suck thought.
Ravens and lorcens are VERY fun to shoot. I buffed the feed ramp on mine to fix the main issue with it and I'm able to shoot 3" groups at 15 yards. No jams.
Wad cutters are the best thing to shoot. It's just ole school low powder charge low bullet weight target rounds.. Cops used them by the dozens back in the day to practice shoot
Jake, a .22 revolver is almost foolproof. Only thing that can really go wrong is ammo. Get a dud, you just pull the trigger again. .22 autos can be finicky as hell. You might have to try a dozen different types of ammo to find one that runs correctly and reliably. Then you have duds and jams you have to clear, like with any auto, it can happen. Every outdoorsman, hunter, hiker, angler, or camper should get a .22 revolver. I've had H&R, S&W, Ruger, High Standard, and even an RG. They're just plain fun, too!
Good score! Bonus Info: Dupont actually owned a large part of Remington since the great depression up until they bought them outright in 1980. They sold the company in 1993 to an investment firm who later sold the company to Cerberus Capital Management.... Whose CEO is none other than Steve Feinberg, one of the top economic advisers to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Dan Quayle is chairman of the company's Global Investments Division. Cerberus also owns the Freedom Group, AKA, Bushmaster, Advanced Armament, Marlin Firearms, H&R Firearms, Dakota Arms, Para USA, Parker Gun, Tapco, etc etc. They also own, DynCorp, a private military contractor. Oh... and Avon lol
What they need in their portfolio now is a wonderful mag loader company! That is an interesting story yer a damn walking encyclopedia, LOL but damn that is properly named "Freedom Group" LOve it
Haha! Talk to old Danny Quayle! They might be interested in a new magazine distributor too! PS... Primary Arms just sent an email. Still a bunch of Troy Battle mags for 6.99 ;)
The Ruger Mark II is a pretty nice gun and is worth about $300 to 350. The RG is worthless and I have one that I use as a paper weight because it is more dangerous to the shooter than to the shootee. The Raven is unknown to me, but can not be worth much. The old ammo has some value. My guess is that this is a pretty close trade and no one got hurt on it.

Holy crap, talk about a blast from the past. I'm 29 years old and when I was 8 my dad had went through a horrible divorce from his wife and I went through hell to end up with him. Because of all of this my dad was absolutely going through a midlife crisis and he did everything he could to make sure my brother and I were happy since we just went from a big family with 4 kids down to us 2 on 40 acres and no one for miles. Things weren't great but we didn't suffer. Being a kid and doing what kids do I snuck into my dad's room one day and did some looking. I found a brand new box of broadheads and a bolt action 22LR. When asked what I wanted for Christmas I described that black 22LR and a new box of broadheads for deer season. My dad obviously knew but didn't say anything. When I opened up that box with that .22 in it I was in heaven. It came with 4 500 count bricks of Winchester Wildcat ammo. I burned through those in maybe a week and when we went to Wal-Mart to get more I would clean them out, 1. Because a BRICK was $8.00 before tax and a 50 round box was .50 cents. When they went up to $10.00 a brick and .75 cents a box I felt like that was wayyyy too high. Now when I see 325 count boxes selling for $75 - $100 a box I can't believe it. I live in a decent sized town (70,000 people before the massive tornado) and there was only one shop here that consistently had .22 ammo and it was all around $100.00 a box. It turns out that the gun shop owner would send people out every day to buy all the .22 ammo they could and bring it back so he could sell it for a markup. I was at academy one night and ran into some of these guys, I knew exactly what they were doing and I admittedly played a big roll in what happened by opening my mouth and saying that what they're doing was pretty shitty. There were quite a few people in there and no one was really happy about what had been going on so these guys were getting a lot of grief. When I left the store these 2 guys were circled by a group of guys who let them know exactly how they felt and what was going to happen. The guys could either sell the ammo for what they paid for it, or they could lose the ammo right there and they could handle things a different way. From what I overheard, these guys made their money back, sold all that ammo, and basically swore to god that they would never do that again and they only did it because they made $10.00 off of each box. It was pretty sketchy but it put an end to that issue. I ran over 50,000 rounds of .22LR through that gun, I actually wore a hole in the bolt, but due to the price of ammo I haven't bought a box in store for almost 10 years. Seeing that Winchester Wildcat really took me back to being a kid 21 years ago.
Ok
I don’t blame you one bit. We had 4 or 5 guys doing the exact same thing in our area. I had a ginormous stock of .22 built up before the Obama administration started buying up all the .22 LR ammo. How do I know the government was buying up all the .22lR ammo. I have a very good friend who works in procurement for the U.S.Army. He said they were getting 20 to 30 pallets of plain white boxes of 22lR a week. He told me that in 2015 they had in storage over 55 million .22 LR rounds. He said that the Army had developed a way to use them as a means of shooting them through the m16 a4. When he retired in 2017 they had no longer been getting the shells however they had not moved any of them out also. He said that he had been told that they were buying up the ammo to try to curb gun violence. As we all know every big criminal always uses a .22LR in all of their crimes. To make a long story short these 5 guys would go in right when the ammo would come in and buy all of the shells that they could get their hands on. Then that night like clockwork they would put them on Facebook. Yes I know Facebook doesn’t allow guns and ammunition to be sold using their service, yeah right. It goes on every day, still does. They had paid maybe 65 dollars for a brick of .22 LR. Then turn around and sell them for 100 to 125 a brick. Us moderators and admin decided that about 8 months before the election that they got booted off of every sportsmen page on Facebook plus we got the word out to everyone in our area who they were and what they were doing. Like any good set of neighbors do if one of us would go to Texas or Arkansas. We’d pick up a bunch of shells. Then we’d sell them to our friends at a small profit. Like .25 cents a box or 5 dollars a brick higher just to pay for our time and gas money. After President Trump got elected .22LR. Started showing up again at fairly good prices. I heard one of the guys got stuck with 9000 dollars worth of .22 shells that is now worth about 2500 dollars. I hope he chokes on them. Reason number 302 while I’ll never vote for a liberal again. True story. Look it up it’s right here on RUclips.
Great stories . Sounds like you had a healthy childhood after all .

Looking at old ammo boxes today makes me reminisce to when I was a kid looking at old baseball cards. Good stuff Pops.
I have a 30 pound box of my mom's baseball cards, alot unopened still with the gum.. my uncle... had stamps, I have both boxes, probably worth a nice bit

I bought another house 5 years ago, and some electricians do work in the attick, it was full of sports cards in boxes, some were pretty old , but most were from the 70's and 80's , the electrician was more concerned with the cards than his job . someday I'll go through them , when i have a week or 2 to do it in....lol.

well-quite a find! your "RG31" is actually made in germany(but assembled in the us if after1982/83) a simple but very sturdy gun of german design by roehm companie of sontheim, w. germany
It's the unicorn for RG collectors... and yes, we do exist... lol
I have one. of those Ruger MK ll pistols I had bought in the early 80's still with the box. Fun to shoot and never had it jam or fail to work! I loved seeing one in a video!
*Drooling over those 22 Collecctables..... You got a lot for a damn Glock.... That Ruger is the shit*
The Mohawk .22 shells were made for a few years around the early to mid 1970s.
They were cheap .22 shells for people who just wanted to shoot their .22. They were replaced by the wildcat .22s as the ammo of choice for plinkers on a very tight budget and all they wanted was something that went down the barrel of their .22.
They still make the Mohawk ammo
Oh man! TG&Y! I grew up in New Mexico and I remember my mom taking me there on a Saturday. They were like a Walmart, had everything there. But the store was much smaller. Brings back memories. Thanks for sharing.
Watching you sift through it all brought back memories, especially the .22 box. I had the same confusion when I was going through my gramps ammo. Its .22wrf, old timey ammo used in the Winchester model 1890. I found .357 s&w, .38 special, .44 mag. Old price tag on a box of 100 .22lr was .99c in the 70s. What a time to stock up.
My grandfather is getting unhealthy and can’t shoot anymore. He passed on his gun collection to me. Nothing outrageous but some cool guns none the less. An old Stevens single barrel shotgun. (I think that’s how you say it). I got a few old semi automatic 1970s .22lr’s. Couple of those 25 pocket handguns. And a Lee enfield
My Dad left me his 1911. I still bet my life on my high-cap 9 but I take apart my 1911, at least, once a day, just to marvel at the genius it took to design.
John Moses Browning really had his shit together.
Stevens shotgun.. they are pretty cool really old tho they got bought out by savage in the late 1800s but good gun
Cool my grandfather he was a first class sergeant in the United States 75th rangers in ww2 he got 2 bring tons of guns home if you believe me on this or not I don't give a damn but he brought back 2 mg42s and a lot of other german and Italian weapons

@@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist Sometimes smaller shops will have old used ones. I seen some like that pocket .25 for around 60.00 (.22 as well.)
My first pistol was an RG .38 exactly like that. Got it from an old bailiff with some +P wadcutters. The only info I found was that they were intended to be cheap throwaway backups. Not the most accurate but really fun to shoot.

Nice score, the RG and Raven aren't worth much dollar wise but the Ruger Mark 2 is the big score. Guns and ammo, doesn't get much better.
As a old gun guy you got a good deal!!!!
I feel like I was watching a video from the future when my nephew goes through my old gun bag when I'm dust in the wind.
Damn that was an excellent deal, especially that ruger mk2. Excellent pistol, lots of fun especially suppressed.
you for sure got the better end of this deal! great bag of goodies!
The third pistol you pulled out isn't manufactured very well! The slide is cast and can over heat easy! Mine blew up on me while shooting it! So if you shoot it. Just peck around with it. Don't empty the clip 10 times in a row lol
I remember remington .22's at $.050 a box. I bought .22 Lr for $8 and change for a brick of 500 back in the early to mid 90's. Prices went up fast, and will probably never come back down.
I like the wildcat just because they're called wildcat
I like them because they are packaged tight, smallest 50 round .22's at least that's the way they were from the 60's ;)
That's all we had in the everglades , wildcat .22 they came 50 per box , for
¢ .50 , lol... That was in the 70's ... You could get an icee and a candy bar for .11 cents
Those were the days .
TG&Y.....TOYS GAMES AND YARDAGE, got my best hunting dog for free out of a box in front of the store.
Tomlinson, Goslin & Young. Last of the great 5-10 cent variety store chains. Like Woolworth's. My first job was a stock boy in a Southern California store (1967?). Ended up managing 2 of there smaller stores. I rember the larger "Super Centers" having guns and such. My dad had a cigar box with an old top-break .38 S&W he carried during WWII. Became mine when he passed. Sits with the display of his medals and ribbons. Great video by the way.
Interesting, The store in my little town had a sign in the window that said toys games and yardage, so I always assumed that's what it stood for. My mom bought all her frabic there and was always making us kids clothes. I guess I was still pretty young when they closed the store in our town, but for whatever reason I dream often about the store and wandering around in it through the toy section then over into sporting goods. It's a shame how things have turned out nowadays.
Check out the Wikipedia on the store, I guess an old manager bought the name and opened a new store in Oklahoma.
Remember the store as a kid. “Your Best Buy is at TG&Y!” They were like KMart or old Walmart’s before they started building the Walmart superstores.
That's definitely a store from my childhood. There was always an Otasco close by
I had an RG-32 revolver exactly like yours. I recognized it immediately when you took it out by the plastic grips and the push-rod. It was a good little shooter. I bought it from a guy at a filling station for very little $ but I enjoyed it. After a few years, my house was burglarized and some low-life stole it. I miss the little shooter!
Cool video. I'd be careful with that 38 it looks like it might just come apart at any time it decides it want's to. I'd say the best thing in your bag would be the Mark 2. Good score.
I have been shooting a Ruger MKII since 1981! K Mart had those bricks of Wild Cat .22 rf. on sale for $5.00 a brick of 500. That was in the mid 1980's. I think I may have a box or 2 still around. So yes I remember those prices. lol

Thanks man, you too.
I remember going to a store in Kansas city called wild woodies, and we could get a brick of 22 long rifle for $2.50. We would go to our grandmother's farm in south Missouri target shooting and squirrel hunting.
Love the Glock 23 ! To me its the perfect carry handgun. I love and trust the 40 cal round. Just above the 9mm and just under the 45 cal. Great stopping power. Just my opinion, doesn't mean its the right carry weapon for everyone, just me.
Just a tip if you plan on selling any of those don't clean them make sure they're functional and safe of course, but that aging in cases can add value to a gun. Take em to a reputable gun shop near you and they can tell you about rarity, value, legality where you live etc...
Hows this for cheap:
I started shooting at a local "day camp", which was largely a place parents dumped their kids during the summer months to keep us out of trouble. I think it was run by the YMCA, and this was probably around '75. The range guns were .22 bolt action, with separate manual cocking - kind of a "boy's first rifle" design probably bought in the early '60s.
We had to buy our own rounds - .22 shorts (it was a 10 - 15 yard range; this was definitely a setup for little kids to learn the basics). You bought the rounds at the snack shop with tickets - they didn't let the kids run around with cash, so the parents had to buy us tickets to use for sodas and whatnot. Each ticket was 25 cents, and a box of 50 rounds was 2 tickets, so 50 cents or *one cent* per round.
The camp made a profit off these sales, too.
RG stands for Röhm GmbH. It is a german manufacturer.
R.g. Is short for rugar
The "RG" stands for "Röhm"? Its a German gun company (I am from Germany too) and was always known for good quality until hey got bought by UMAREX like 10 Years ago. I had some Röhm Blank Guns (thanks to german laws i don't have real ones) and i never had Problems with them.
But I know that Röhm also made some junk like the little Röhm .22 short revolver.
But Im pretty sure the .38 is a solid gun. Not the best .38 but also absolutely not the worst.
IH - MTXRGU I thought you could have guns in Germany?
Not with my age. Im 22 so I am only allowed to have .22lr guns. No centerfire ammunition and guns.
You can own like .38 special, 9mm, .308 ... With 25 years of age and proper license.
Germany makes excellent guns. If I were to buy a gun that I know is solid quality and well designed and if I saw made in Germany on it, I would buy it.
You need only to look at the Mauser 98. To this day it is the standard that all bolt action rifles are compared to. Oh yeah, here in America we copied so many things from the Mauser 98 for our 1903 Springfields that we had to pay patent use fees to Germany.
Rohm also makes tooling for various machinery, lathes and mills included. The pistol used to shoot Ronald Regan was an RG.
I also thought that was a Röhm. 38 on first look. My grandpa had one of those Babys
I don’t know if there’s a big crossover of JHS pedal show watchers who are also watching this, but when he said “It HAS the box” I was waiting for a little jingle.
Ruger Mk ii is a great gun. Mine is 30 years old and still is in great shape. The RG is a paper weight.
I have one of those small boxes of wildcat 22 from Kmart. 99¢ my old man bought them way back when.
I remember buying them for .89¢ always right by the Kmart sporting goods cash register. 😎
Those prices aren't all that old...
I'm only 30, and I was buying 50 round boxes of .22lr for
Joshua Rassi gone stupid? They're .04 cents per round!
$60 for 500 rounds in NZ, how does that compare to USA?
Lucy Carr yikes

I agree. I can buy 500 Remington Thunderbolt for $21. $1.77 was not a bargain back then.
2:20 looks down the barrel, oh it’s loaded. Fucking brilliant.
As my great-grandfather would have said a couple of those Firearms look like a Saturday Night Special.
.22 WRF, stands for Winchester rim fire. Was out long before the .22 mag ,do some research on it mite be worth something
I was waiting for a colt python in the back or something like that
spent a lot of my young life in a TG&Y store looking at guns and knives just a dreaming while Mom shopped. mowed a ton of lawns one summer and bought a Western Bowie Knife i still have it and it still looks new. worth way more than i paid for it now.
And all that out of an EMT bag. I sure hope no one ever asked the guy "hey, can you stop the pain?"
Good deal, actually whatever you get for a Glock trade in is worth it :-)
That .22WRF is different from .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum. It can't be fired in either caliber gun, as .22 WRF is a "specialty" chambering, and no guns have been made for that round since the 1960s.
The RG "Rohm" revolver - I wouldn't shoot anything other than wadcutter ammo in it because those guns had Aluminum frames, and the metal used wasn't great quality.
Getting mags for that Raven .25 shouldn't be much trouble.
Kevin S I have two pump actions in 22wrf
Kevin S. The 22 Magnum read[22 Winchester Rim Fire magnum] is the longer version of the Winchester Rim Fire which is no longer produced. It can be fired in the W.R.F.M. chamber but will cause throat erosion
Wrf and wcf are original .22wmr just slightly shorter cases. I have a 50yr old box of cci .22 wcf
Pops Quest+ That was a good move to swap the barrel out of your 27 for a 9mm I did that with my 23C. Did you just change the barrel or did you also do the ejector and other parts? Regardless of the parts, how did it run, did you put a lot of ammo through it? I've heard people having good luck with and without swapping out all the correct parts to change caliber from .40 to 9mm. Thanks for the video, I love digging through old stuff like that. My fiance's great, great uncle will be 104 this spring, he was born in 1915 and was 14 when the STOCK MARKET CRASHED IN 1929 AND STARGED THE GREAT DEPRESSION! In World War 2 he was in the Air Force, stationed in England and he was a sheetmetal fabricator and he repaired the bomber planes when they came back to base and had body damage from getting shot at in the midway. He has 10 acres on his property, along with 2 garages, 2 polebarns and 2 barns, he owns about 8 vintage tractors from 1930's-60's and he built a good size machine shop in one of his polebarns! Very cool man, indeed! I could listen to his stories all day long!

rchopp sorry but back when you couldn’t find 22 LR ammo I’ve seen it go up to $100.00 a brick at gun show’s. Yes back I late 90’s you get a brick for $7.99 and under on sale. And I bought 22LR for c .49.
The revolver is a cheapo junker.
They made the Room RG1 pot metal .22 Saturday night special revolvers that almost never worked.
That Raven .25 ACP was made to fill a market gap after import of much nicer German .25 ACP pistols was banned. Some manufacturers sold their tooling to US manufacturers like Raven or Iver Johnson. I think the Raven was directly competing with Iver Johnson's copy of the German Erma EP-25 as the form and shape are very similar.
it is sad when people die and younger generation don't know or appreciate the old stuff:((

I have the same model Ruger MKII. Excellent gun. Most reliable..22 auto I've ever owned. Can't easily find these guns any more of the second hand market. Especially LNIB like that. Congrats.
Give your dad his treasures back and just give him the Glock.
That MK2 is worth more than the Glock
The 2 drop guns are now getting to be niche market collectibles. The Ruger MKII is worth more than the g27 with the conversion to 9mm. Great small game survival pistol. The RG from West Germany was a basic no frills carry piece. They made a lot of different grades in quality but none were bad. Now mostly the air gun copies of Uzi etc... is the bread and butter of their line. The Raven is the very definition of a Saturday Night Special. Depending when it was made mags currently are $20-50 USD Each. I can remember when a judge ordered 1 too be destroyed we took them to either the steel mill, went out 5 miles into the Atlantic with Coast Guard & dumped them but Ravens, South Arms, Jimenez Arms we just took an acetylene torch and melted them had a friend that was a sculptor & used sand castings when we had a dozen of these to destroy he brought up a melt pot and after stripping the grips + any plastic would melt them pour into a mold & made jewelry or mini retirement badges for me. Got the order complied with, his name known with artists and truly dangerous guns destroyed. Some would really blow up in your hand & the company is in business under a Nevada corporate owner. Quality is a little better but with the price being sold locally a Sig .380 is only $115 more & a Bersa $50 more. They were made of pot metal and even worse quality than a Hi-Point. BTW got a chance to fire the new 10mm Hi-Point, love the 10mm but save up for a Glock 20, or almost any other weapon. FBI if they plan on doing field work needs to go to .38/.357mag as a minimum caliber. If the agent can’t qualify with the weapon even after remedial training solution isn’t go to a weaker level it’s move the agent to something in an area where they don’t have need of defending others or thereselves. Would you let your dentist do a liver transplant???
Don’t dumb down the requirements for a task, have the person rise to meet the task.
That ruger isn't bad. I think you came out on top of this deal, I'd rather have that bag over the glock. Too bad it wasn't a government target model with the bull barrel, I have one and love it, for a .22 handgun with iron sights at a gun club I go to I can easily knock down bowling pins from 50 yards with 1 shot per pin. The ammo isn't extremely old unfortunately, a couple of those boxes might be worth throwing on a shelf. Some odd but decent burner guns you acquired from this deal.
Ruger is freakin sweet!
I didn't even care what was in the box when you said you traded a Glock for it. The box alone is worth more then the Glock. LOL!!!!
Dang, your pop had some gangsta guns! :) The revolver is a Rohm RG (German). Hinckley shot Reagan with a Rohm .22lr revolver. Just sayin'. :) They were some of the original 'Saturday Night Specials' that were cut off from being imported by the 1968 GCA. I do believe some were imported later (probably the .38SPL models).
The second one is a Raven Arms from one of the 'Ring of Fire' companies in Southern California. Another 'Saturday Night Special', this one in .25ACP. There's a guy on YT (Gunwebsites) who collects those and has a ton of information if you're interested.
The ammo collection is crazy.

The revolver is a Rohm. Made in Germany at first, then moved to Miami. Not very well made, not worth much either. I have a Rohm model 66, which is a .22 single action revolver that looks like a peacemaker. By the research I've done, the model 66 was thier best offering. Came with two cylinders, .22 lr ans .22 mag. Nice haul though! By the way, I also have boxes of .22 from wal mart that are marked .99 cents!
they started having to put the name on the gun of where it was imported, lots of the came in through Florida.

Point up and problem falls into place
I think you got the better end of the deal. Those Ruger Mark IIs are fun little guns. I have one and it's one of my favorite to shoot. The brake down can suck thought.
Ravens and lorcens are VERY fun to shoot. I buffed the feed ramp on mine to fix the main issue with it and I'm able to shoot 3" groups at 15 yards. No jams.
Don't shoot wad cutters out of the rg 38 it might blow up rg is a very old gun and not always reliable, I have a 22 version
rg guns are notorious for jumping time. be careful firing it. but have fun
Clean it up and give it a blast ! They don't turn into plastic .. should work fine . Xcellent toss gun or cheap seller/trade for ammo or more .
Wad cutters are the best thing to shoot.
It's just ole school low powder charge low bullet weight target rounds..
Cops used them by the dozens back in the day to practice shoot
A .22 revolver... what's the point.
Jake, a .22 revolver is almost foolproof. Only thing that can really go wrong is ammo. Get a dud, you just pull the trigger again. .22 autos can be finicky as hell. You might have to try a dozen different types of ammo to find one that runs correctly and reliably. Then you have duds and jams you have to clear, like with any auto, it can happen. Every outdoorsman, hunter, hiker, angler, or camper should get a .22 revolver. I've had H&R, S&W, Ruger, High Standard, and even an RG. They're just plain fun, too!
Good score! Bonus Info: Dupont actually owned a large part of Remington since the great depression up until they bought them outright in 1980. They sold the company in 1993 to an investment firm who later sold the company to Cerberus Capital Management.... Whose CEO is none other than Steve Feinberg, one of the top economic advisers to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Dan Quayle is chairman of the company's Global Investments Division. Cerberus also owns the Freedom Group, AKA, Bushmaster, Advanced Armament, Marlin Firearms, H&R Firearms, Dakota Arms, Para USA, Parker Gun, Tapco, etc etc. They also own, DynCorp, a private military contractor. Oh... and Avon lol
What they need in their portfolio now is a wonderful mag loader company! That is an interesting story yer a damn walking encyclopedia, LOL but damn that is properly named "Freedom Group" LOve it
Haha! Talk to old Danny Quayle! They might be interested in a new magazine distributor too! PS... Primary Arms just sent an email. Still a bunch of Troy Battle mags for 6.99 ;)
sweet! Soon as I get out of walmart I'll head over
The Ruger Mark II is a pretty nice gun and is worth about $300 to 350. The RG is worthless and I have one that I use as a paper weight because it is more dangerous to the shooter than to the shootee. The Raven is unknown to me, but can not be worth much. The old ammo has some value. My guess is that this is a pretty close trade and no one got hurt on it.
