The one I've sold was complete and went for 1,750 and that was a few years ago.Quote:

Either way, like I said, it will make a killer display. I'll have to whip up a stand for it.
Just arrived!
The action looks complete except the selector switch is snapped off. I think I’ll be able to fabricate one of those.
It even came with 4 of the double sized cartridges. Super cool.
My plan is to disassemble and hit everything with a scotchbrite pad and oil/grease it really well. Might even touch up the red paint where the cutaways are.
I’d love to mount this on a stand that allows manipulation but holds it sturdy. Obviously I don’t want to drill any holes into the “rifle” so that will take some thinking — perhaps some custom clamps.
Finally, I don’t bid on Proxibid at all. I spend A LOT of time on one of the other auction sites and just find Proxibid’s website less convenient to navigate.
I would not have seen this item if not for this thread and I’m super happy to have it. So thanks!
Let me know if you need it 3D printed. I have a pinter and can do it for you. Glad one of y'all here got it.Quote:
