The stock attaching lug has been ground off of the bottom rear of the frame. It USED to be an Artillery shooter...

Lanyard staple is also gone.

it's turning into a hunk O junk before our very eyes!

K.Wilhelm · 01-08-2015, 05:24 PM

Me likey anyway! But not at "buy now" price. I would use the top end combined with a Mauser frame I have for a nice Arty shooter.

Don't you have one already?

K.Wilhelm · 01-08-2015, 05:52 PM

That was the intent with my 1917 Artillery, but it turns out to be too nice for a shooter! Bill

DiDi knows I'm WAY too cheap for that!

Well, the missing lanyard loop is no problem, a new one can be installed. Same with the stock lug--although with mine, I'm planning to go with the lug from a donor chunk of frame and weld it in--as opposed to building it all up with weld and re-machining--because I'll only be out the $25 for the frame segment and the $75 for the re-bluing necessary. I don't think the gun will complain because it's already a shooter.

Jerry- DiDi would say, "well, you did it again!" Ed- I like your thinking! Bill
