I should be able to give an opinion in about a week...Niagara County changed it's pistol registration regs; I won't be able to pick it up for another week...but I picked up an Astra 4000 in 7.65mm...Serial 842493; no idea what year it is, but my local shop has had it for many years, the owner says...and he let it go for very little...(note tag is blank)...

Red/brown plastic grips, what looks like a chromed magazine (but stamped "Astra")...excellent bore, about maybe 80% blue...

This was the 2nd of the two I've been eyeballing; I may still go after the S&W .35 auto as well...
