C96 Persian Contract

alvin · 12-01-2013, 01:30 PM

Just noticed the 1st Persian that you posted from pre98.com. That one is probably OK. But from the picture, at least the bolt stop was refinished. It makes this otherwise good looking piece so unbalanced. It's a huge mistake to put this tiny part into melt mineral although the mineral itself is cheaply available on Brownells. People doing crazy things sometimes.

[Edit] Not in hurry, valid 4x gun appears every other year. There are more Persian than Turkish. Turkish is a little bit crazy.... even the one in NRA Poor condition listed on gunbroker.com sold near $3000 a month ago. Turkish is probably 8x, or even 12x, or,,, God knows. I have seen more 6-shot and Carbines than Turkish. All of those have about 1000 production volume, the difference is survival rate. But if there is super nice Turkish going over $30K, and super poor Turkish going $3k, then, there are supposed to have more intermediate ones... no reason why this thing could only go to the extreme ends.
