First Post, and an Open Ended Question

David-NY · 03-03-2015, 09:09 PM

I've been watching the ads for a while . . . A local shop posted one for sale, so I went down and checked it out. It was an Erfurt that was mostly matching, except for the slide and barrel (which were replaced with a matched set with a "G" barrel code). The barrel had a curious threading arrangement, but the price was otherwise good, so I figure I can work that out in the future. Everything looked good and operated well, and the finish on the frame looked original (although the barrel/slide look like they have been buffed) so I dropped the cash. I'll post pictures in a couple weeks when I can actually pick it up.
