Think you may have got a deal!!!

Even the last one JimF had was missing the magazine, IIRC. Those mags must be pretty darn rare - think he had one made up from wood for his show displays. He said his 2X Carbine was made of wood and aluminum. - Bob

The one I've sold was complete and went for 1,750 and that was a few years ago.
Since this is really the most important and visually impressive section, I think you're probably right.
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.

It currently takes a lot of force to actuate. I don’t think a 3D print would stand up to it.
I think a good cleaning oiling will make the whole thing work better though. That’s step one, for sure.
