[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 1109818, member: 6777"] Are you going to shoot it or for investment? If for investment, you want all matching numbers with 90+% original finish. and don't shoot it. if you break a part (which their prone to do) you will have to replace it with a non-matching part and there goes down the value. Look it over real good for import marks, usually real small like scratches on the bottom of the barrel. import marks decrease the value by probably 25% For a shooter buy the cheapest one you can find in good condition. have fun shooting it. Just don't use hot loads. I've got ones in my collection from a non-import artillery w/ matching stock and 98-99% finish I paid $1750 for back in 90. To a 65% finish import marked I bought for $250 On most of them the straw color was the heat-treat temper on the trigger, safety and extractor and other parts. thats the easiest way to tell a reblue cause they will be black. As far as shooting, their kind of a fun novelty. No way in hell would I ever use one for a carry gun. [/QUOTE]
