I traded a superposed lightning I picked up at a good price for a 1972 model 41.




Both had their love marks, I think we both walked away feeling like the other guy was an idiot. That being said I was all in at a nice price point on the superposed. I figure that to be a reasonable trade. It brought me to a 41 at a price i found acceptable. The previous owner is dropping off the rear sight and two more mags next week.

Very nice. I've yet to own a 41 but it's on my list. I love the thrill of the hunt.




Regards,

P.

You might as well stop there. That's going to be a hard act to follow.

It has been a long search for an older model 41. I spent some time cleaning it last night. It needed a bit of love under the grips along the trigger bar and in the magazine's. It seems to be clean and smooth now. I will probably replace the grips when I get a chance. They are just a bit big for my hands.

I've worked several good trades but one thing I've found...if its not a gun you want for your own collection, be sure to get some extra margin in the deal. The other guy is trading it because he/she can't sell it at their valued price most likely which means it will be hard for you to do so.
