I just picked up a Squires Bingham (Armscore) M100TC .22LR Revolver. It was cheap and turns out its very fun to shoot. It needs some cleaning up and what not. I know nothing about these or if and where to get parts from. I know this is the type of research you do BEFORE you buy but the gun looked OK in the store and for the price I wasn't worried about it being a throw away or not. Just want some info, ill post pics when I get it home this evening.

Squires Bingham's are made in the Phillipines. Armscor is the distributor. Low end Smith copies. I think Smith parts will fit if you ever need 'em. The thing will very likely work just fine for eons though.
And you're right. If the price isn't horrible, serious research isn't needed. A .22 revolver is really just a big kid's toy. And that isn't a bad thing.
I think North Sylva is the Canadian distributor, but I wouldn't bet on it.
 
@ Guess_kto; Yes roughly $200, some tax and what not of course

@sunray; thank you for the info, it would be great if smith parts fit!
 
I shot it the day I bought it.

What kind of info do you want? I can give you the basics right now as i'm at work, if you want specifics on anything ill update when im home

- It shot very well, it has a super light single action trigger, the double action trigger pull is quite long ( this is my first revolver so long for me anyways )
- It was a little picky on ammo, i started with Federal bulk brick ammo, a few rounds seemed to tumble.
- I switched to fiocchi and that worked fine, i also tried some CCI and it worked just fine as well.
- The gun was dirty when i bought it so shell ejection out of the cylinder after shooting was very very stiff, but again i think its just really dirty
- The adjustable sights are alright, very basic, but for punching holes in paper they work well

Overall it was a very good buy! really fun to shoot, I upgraded some parts on my SR-22 which is why we went to the range. I bought this and honestly we shot this for 70% of the time at the range and forgot about the Ruger.

I think its great for new shooters or kids to learn on. But as an adult its just plain old good plinking fun. It will be a huge bonus if Smith parts fit in it!!

Would i pay more then about $250.....probably not, for great condition i would MAYBE go to $300 (used of course)

Really happy with my purchase.
 
That's all I was interested in. I prefer going single-action with DA revolvers, anyways. I like revolvers. I've got a Taurus 608 in .357 that has cylinder lock-up issues, so I'm pretty disappointed. I've got a Browning URX .22 semi that's great, and a VERY finicky Sig Mosquito (use the Blazers they recommend), but I'm always looking for a cheap .22 revolver for the gf & I to plink with. I love my .22's.

Armscore is starting to make a name for itself in North America.. congrats

Perhaps Freedom Ventures can give you more info..on getting them

VERY nice revolver..good 4 you and well worth the money too.
 
If it's built anything like their rifles then you have thousand of rounds without failure to look forward to.

my only problem is I do not know what has been run through it already as far as round count goes. But im really not too worried. Worst case scenario, lets say i need a hammer, I can get a machine shop to make one or something.
