Smile New "shooter" navy

You guys saw this one offered by member Jasta 2 a couple weeks back.

Here are pictures of the "built Navy".

Based on in hand inspection:
-frame is from a genuine 1914 Navy dated 1917 number 3015;
TD lever, safety arm, safety lever #15
- new commercial 6" bbl, new grips
- Erfurt 1914 receiver, #858
- Reproduction rear sight(believe from Sarco some years back)

It does have an as new bore, and nice tall front sight, so may actually shoot to point of aim!

I believe it was worth the grand it cost, which is the price of a common mis-match 9mm shooter.

Will give it a shooting test next week, when the ground dries out a little!

The nice Swiss military brown bottom mag was a bonus, and will go in the mag box.

Thanks Bill.

Some pictures of the piece; and close ups of the rear sight for ID purposes should anyone want to see its characteristics.
