Sourdough, are you going to bid on those? I'm wondering how high the bids will go over the next four days.
I'll be tracking this, thanks for the notice.
No, sir, I am
not bidding, and I have no affiliation whatsoever with the seller. If I did not have my Pietta G&G I would really think about it. My impetus is newer Pietta 1851 Navy type .36 pistols with interchangeable CNC machined parts. It's going to be a crapshoot with the older pistols like this lot of 3 to do that with mine.
It appears that the visible missing parts are 2 load-lever pivot screws, 1 rammer, 1 load lever catch, and probably some internals like hands or trigger/bolt springs. IMO, these are probably kit guns made by ASM in the 70's-80's.
I think a good gun tinkerer could get 2 good guns out of this lot (with the addition of a few parts). VTI does carry some ASM parts. If the bid goes for $130 for 3 guns, that's only about $40/gun plus shipping, and one could pick and choose the best parts for two guns out of the three.
If the winning bid goes for $160 for the lot, I still think it is a swell deal. The seller has an A+(92) rating.
I have looked at the other firearms for sale by this outfit and I don't see any other BP stuff, just modern firearms, so I think this is like a "loss leader" at grocery stores or they just want to get shuck of such things.
Good luck and let us know how you do!
Jim
