Huh??? What??? A C96 needing a barrel for cheap???
OK, I scoped it out...I'm tempted to offer them $450 for it...the grips are junk; the barrel can be replaced; but the angle of the hammer has me concerned...The only way that hammer could be angled like that is if the receiver is in a rearward position about 1/8"...and it shouldn't "hang up" in that position...
Edit: I'm holding my C96 up to the screen, and zooming in...I can see that the Simpson C96 receiver is in slight rearward position...It is definitely jammed somewhere...mine snaps right forward when receiver is released...I'll offer $400...
Edit2: OK, I emailed them my offer!
