Questions on finding a "shooter".

RyanAnchors · 09-28-2011, 06:11 PM

Hello, great forum you folks have here.
I'm an experienced shooter and gun owner. I have several firearms and an FFL 03 for these C&R guns.

My question is what is the cheapest "shooter" P-08 that I can get and how much will I probably be paying for it?

I would prefer that it at least have a fairly original (period correct) exterior (bluing, grips, etc).
New production internals, small exterior parts, and magazines are okay. Mismatched numbers are okay as well.

A P-08 that looks period correct at first glance and shoots decently is all I really seek at this point (though as more funds become available, a nicer collector grade model would be great, but I need to get a WWII issue 1911 first

)

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
Shooters are goin anywhere from 700--1100.

If you hunt long enough, that's the fun part, you may find one for less.

Keep an eye on the WTS section here.
