Mitchell price check help

Thanks for the comments. You inspired me to action as it'd be nice to have a shooter I needn't worry about damaging.

Taking the new price of $695 + $30 shipping from the AIMCO price sheet and then adding GA tax at 6% makes $470 out the door a fair price a think.

I went and picked it up and it seems in good condition, but is full of grease at the moment, so needs a good cleaning.

It came with 2 mags, one stainless with wood bottom and the other blued with a plastic bottom, (and the original box, bag and blued Mitchell loading tool).

Both mags fit my BYF 41 so I think they're the standard P08 style.

The only concern I have is that there appears to be a little play in the main toggle axis; I'll investigate further but think I need to take this apart to check. Do you just drift out the small pin up through the toggle then drift the main pin out to the left ?

Knowing my luck at the moment it's a complete lemon, I hope I don't have to send it to the factory to get it fixed !

Addendum: I checked the play and posted a message in the restoration forum - any adivce on what to do next very welcome.
