I would agree, but only if cash...No checks, and fork over the state sales tax too...(I'm pretty sure only a dealer would set up a table, which means small business)...

I've taken mine apart dozens of times, swapped parts (Thank You, Alvin!), and trouble-shot problems...But...That sear & frame stop lock can be a real nuisance...

I would not hold it against an owner to refuse dis-assembly at a gun show...There was a pistol I dis-assembled not long ago, that the previous owner advised me to take apart in bed, under white sheets...He was right...Sproing!!!...

That said, I would take a chance on a $500 C96 or M30 [not a Bolo]...But then, I have a box of parts to play with...But the smooth bore begs for a price cut...
