Serial # L71XX
I did fire the gun yesterday and it functions fine. The safety is very tight but having never fired it, this may be normal. |
Am I the only person that noticed that this might be an original Pinto finished gun??? This one might be worth lettering to find out. IT's too bad about the damage from the house fire. Based on what a factory letter says about it, it may be worth having professionally refinished. It might be eligible to be a factory job as it is 70's vintage and may still be young enough to be sent back to the factory. You'd have to call and ask them.
