springfield loaded frame, with wilson xtra-wide thumb safety and extended slide release
stippled and relieved frontstrap
thinning in grip/trigger guard areas
Ajacx black "buffalo horn" grips,,ie: shiny black smooth, plastic. not cracked but a few scratches.
coated in Laur weaponry's Durabake flat black
steel upper, unmarked from Caspian, relieved ejection port and Hi VIz adjustable target sights..
(the front sight lightpipe has been replaced since the picture was taken
also has a Kimber barrel with fitted barrel bushing, shoots tight and accurate groups
Coated with flat black Laur weaponry's Durabake.

round count...
barrel has maybe 500 through it and is a Kimber barrel I bought the kimber brand new..replace it with a Kart national Match barrel I got a great deal on.

slide is NEW as are all slide parts, firing pin, springs, pin stop, sights
frame is in excellent condition, showed little finish wear prior to my refinish.
it was green, hated it..front strap is stippled, edges taken off, took out a little steel under the trigger guard to improve the grip a bit
3 coats of Dura Bake

$425 ???

Sounds good to me. If I were looking for another pistol I would jump on it.

the next few replys will sway me one way or another ... that would leave me 375 - 400 in my budget for something else also ...

assuming it functions malf free through 100 rds straight, no clean/lube, then that is a good deal.

just a plain jane springfield full size runs $400 and some change, so i'd say it's a pretty safe bet you'll profit in the end.

Agreed. I wouldn't buy it without shooting it. If it feeds smoothly and holds a decent pattern, it's worth it.

I cant make the meeting today due to work calling me in .... might miss out on this one.

I do have to say that the fact that the slide was swaped out bothers me a bit ... thats not something you would swap without a reason to ... specially before a trigger job

and the rust on the grip screw also concerns me ... what else is rusted???????

Maybe he bought the slide with the sights or already cut for them. As for the rust you would have to dissasemble it for that answer

there is some abnormal weir on the inside of the slide .... I think i am going to pass on it in favor of a CHL board member offering me a pre series II 4 inch kimber.

If anyone wants the info i would be glad to hand it off
