You could easily spend another $200 on it and still have reliability problems.

it is cheap asking $500.00 probably get it for $300-350


I don't mind tinkering with something the money I might need to spend on it is not an issue I have a rather large collection of m1 grands and carbine's

the issue is I'm not familiar with how these parts are supposed be "fitted" and how/when they all work together as the pistol cycles, could be something very simple like maybe the trigger bar and firing pin are worn or have been messed with at some point. I know this pistol has not been fired for 30-40 years I've known the owner of it for 20+ years

for me getting parts will be the PITA I have to order and that takes a while, at least with my Garands/carbines I can grab a known working rifle off my rack and swap parts till it works and I have a ton of NOS parts for those
