plains rider .22

i recently came across a .22 with a long barrel, its single action and says "plains rider .22" on the barrel, and .22 mag on the cylinder. Does anybody have any onformation at all on this?

    Sounds mucho interesting. Can you post a picture of this? I assume it is something like the Colt 1873 SAA of cowboy fame.

    The "Excam" and "F.I.E." companies that were located in Florida, imported many revolvers similar to yours in the 70's & 80's.

    If you could describe all markings and proof marks on your revolver we MIGHT? be able to narrow down the country of origin and approximate production date.

    Since the cylinder is marked 22 Mag it would date production to after 1959. During that time frame all US and Foreign produced revolvers would have been serial numbered, and have a manufacturers name.

    Unless the above markings have been removed? It's either a lunch bucket special, or somebodys basement project.

    Just a thought, the time frame, ( late 50's, early 60's ) would be correct for a Great Western "Kit Gun". I don't recall if the parts they sent out from the bottom of the barrel, were serial numbered or marked in any way?
