Erma EP-22 - Stay On or Get Off?

azlaw · 08-30-2011, 12:12 AM

So, I was at the gun show, and one thing and another this Erma EP-22 followed me home. It is not the hated LP-22, but then again it does not cycle with standard .22 LR ammunition. In studying it, I think that I can coax it into working with usual .22 pistol fixes like ammunition changes, polishing the feed ramp and tweaking the feed lips, but this gives rise to a question: the gun is in pretty clean shape - is it better to sell it to a collector? To be clear, it has no box or papers, and only one magazine, and some finish wear.

Yes, I know pictures are required, and I will see about those. But does anybody care about these things at this point in time? There was a time when Lllama .22s were considered worthless, and now just try to find one south of $400...

The gun is kind of cool, a Luger replica with an actual toggle bolt action. Not exactly a lot of money at issue either way.

Opinions please?
