I considered that also.
This being poor thing is not working out for me at all.
Agreed. If the guy gets back to me, I just might have to buy it though. Awfully tempting. As much as I like the standard 75B I have, the nickel one is a real beauty and it's a great price.
I almost purchased it but remembered the IRS is due a large chunk from me soon....
I wonder what that could be on the dust cover. It wouldn't be corrosion, but it could be something reacting with the nickel though. Too bad it did not turn out, as it looks really nice from the original photos.
I agree. I posted the 85 assuming that if someone bought it they would have it cerakoted. But, even so, at $300 that is a pretty good deal. The Wizard said he would just clear coat it so it didn't deteriorate any more and run it like it is.That 85B that BA linked earlier was intriguing at first, as I've never seen one in satin nickel/matte stainless before. But... well, a blued gun weathers and wears in a way that's much more cool looking to me than the way a satin nickel/matte stainless gun does. BA's "beater" pre-B had a really cool, used patina look to it, like it could have told great stories around a campfire. That 85B... not so much, it would have to go directly to AllenM for a refresh.
But yeah, an old weathered blued gun... keep it clean, lightly lubed, well tuned with good sights & springs, appreciate its character, and shoot the snot out of it.
The intriguing one to me is the blue/green two-tone pre-B. It is running in the high $200s and doesn't need refinished (despite not being all that attractive).
Absolutely, not a big fan of OD but, if I didn't already have a 75B, I would be all over it.Yes, that one is really sharp! And for the price... I completely agree. Tune it to your tastes, and rock it without shame.
I like the gun, he's out of his mind on the price.Yes, that one is pretty sharp, I think. Hard to tell for sure from the pics, but I didn't think it looked bad at all, and think it's more of an OD frame finish. And for the price... I completely agree. Tune it to your tastes, and rock it without shame.
This bitone pre-B on Armslist is really cool, but the price easily puts you into a brand-new matte stainless 75B:
