Found This Little Jewl In The Rough

echo1 · Apr 23, 2023

Hi All,

Picked up a basket case ERMA EP22 at a gun show years back.

This is what I got

This is what it needed

This what I ended up with. Done, now with a holster, but wrong locking lug. I found some mags cheap. PAX

Whoa, that's pretty cool! Never heard of Erma EP22 pistols before.

The GunBoards forum had a lot of cool information too! Glad I saw your post over there as well.

Thanks. I try to repicate my postings on many of the various forums I'm on if appropriate. Every gun nut kikes gun porn. PAX

Lots of additional info there. And the cold case thing was super interesting. I legit had no idea these EP22's were even a "thing"! Learn something new every day.

You can get them very cheap. They make a long carbine type version that costs more also (saw one the other day for around $700). THose have a wood forestock really long barrel and look really neat. The normal size one is #2 on my list worst guns I've ever owned. I'll spare the details in respect to OP. I hope I never see one again in person.

It's awesome that you found mags , even more so that they were inexpensive.

I've read where they're jam-o-matic but the initial pieces were only $75 bucks. With parts from Bob's Guns it ended up about what it would have cost to buy a complete one, except for tax and DROS.
