I did it last night...it was exceedingly easy! The pistol is not just in great condition, it's in 'wow' condition. I'm expecting that the owner before me had to have given the internals an exceptional cleaning. The pistol wasn't dirty, but there was a bit of sticky/hardened lube (like old cosmoline) in the slide grooves....I cleaned it out, then lightly oiled it. The bore is perfect...

It looks like a brand spanking new, unfired pistol on the inside, and the outside also gives the impression that it has seen almost no use. It looks like it's been 'handled', and maybe it's been in the holster a time or two, but not much more than that. The holster that I got with it is in very nice condition, and in fact, the holster has obviously NEVER been on a belt.....

I know where another one is in the area...although it's an Astra 400, I want to look at that one for comparison. The thing is, looking at the feed ramp on mine, I get the idea that perhaps mine has been polished, because it looks to me (profile wise) that it will probably feed ANYTHING.....

I'm going to try it with some standard ball, and then with some standard pressure hollow points to see what's what....

My overall impression is that the gun has seen very little, if any use. If someone DID in fact refurbish it, then they knew what they were doing!
