Ideal? I'd say!

This gun is frighteningly perfect.
"Ideal" even.

But it passes all the visual and "sniff" checks for original finish.
Looks almost unfired.
Has a few tiny "moron dings" above the takedown lever, but that's about the only flaw.

A very nice example of an Ideal stock and grips too!

BTW, I loved your term "moron dings"

wow, what a nice example.

One of the nicest pairings of Ideal and 1900 I've seen

Oh. My. God...

Now that is something to dream about. I'm truly impressed.

Thanks for sharing, yet again...

Another outstanding example! How many more of these 10xxx serial numbered 1900s are you going to post?!

This one is less than 200 numbers away from your "little prototype that isn't".

There are a few more oldies in the stash, Ron.

I wanted to post some of my favorites that are glorious, just to prove that not all my guns have "problems".

Cheers,
