Hi Bob, I also had an Artillery with the same problems as this one, missing rear sight and a cracked receiver, I believe I paid about $1300. for the parts and labor to get it up and running, and also like this one, mine was otherwise all matching including the grips, however I bought mine at auction quite a few years ago for $56.00, I figure I now have in it about what it is worth should I ever decide to sell it. I think you made the right decision in passing on this one.
I agree wholeheartedly with Bill Lyons and David.
Lon
