No just putting it out there for all the 3rd gen fans.

Good luck trying to find a mag release as they are plastic and one time use. though I have read you could machine the frame to accept a steel mag release. In the end I would probably pass on that one especially if the slide is seized as they make it seem to be.
Depends how cheap it goes, might be worth it for just the magazine

Yeah, you never know. I just picked up my 457, so I don't need another, nor would I think it's easy to find a 457 frame just laying around.
If you could get the frame for under 100 you should be able to do it for under 375. Though finding an original unused mag release is hard to do. I would probably find someone who can mill the frame to accept a steel release. But at 375 I would try my luck at finding a decent one already.https://www.ebay.com/itm/162931731884?ul_noapp=true found this too, I already have a 457 but something like this would be fun to tinker with.

3906 fail.
Thought I’d buy that surplus one in Gunbroker for no more than $450. It’s at $455. Ugh.
edit: final price was 520+ $30 shipping plus any FFL. Either I am getting really cheap or that seems like a lot of money for a surplus pistol.

Yea but when I buy one, what will you do for cheap entertainment?
