Actually I've had it close to a month now been deciding what to do with it it has some issues




Then all of a sudden it fell apart


It rides the link had a big burr on the sear and hammer and also hammer strut this is a series 80 gun

Surprisingly the barrel looks like new as does
the rest of the frame and slide




Well this will be built in a 22 kit gun for now
I have a nowlin trigger kit for it waiting on series 80 block off plate


The main spring housing will be replaced with a steel unit and Grips with something probably by VZ

It 22 kit is by avantage arms a target kit ill get a pic soon

I've been wanting a Frame to build up a 22 only and for the price of this gun i couldnt pass

Maybe latter this year when my other projects are done ill revisit this and see about correcting there problems


sorry pics aren't the best my helper reall isn't

managed to get his nose in most fo the pics or smack the tripod

Well got to shoot it today and things didn't go as well as i hoped

Wouldn't run with federals which the kit says i won't but my other kit from same company does

CCI Mini mags i had a lot of clicks no boom but second shot went off

Right now my trigger pull is about 3 1/2 pounds using a 18.5 Pound mainspring and i think that's the problem

gonna up it to 23 and go from there trigger will probably gain a pound
