HEADS UP: Stash of 1917 REVOLVERS Found....

[crasig]

I recently saw a You Tube video of un-boxing/ un-crating COLT & S&W 1917 Revolvers (also M-1 Carbines). AT: ROYAL TIGER IMPORTS. They are known to sell C&R type weapons from 3RD WORLD countries. I was curious - so looked at their web site - not seeing them I called about them - & I'm told they are not yet listed. But will be soon. I'd get a kick. out of a second one as a project but - I'm in a retirement financial holding pattern. Usually RTI is CHEAP for a reason - many items are rode hard & put up wet. Thought some of You Here - might enjoy Knowing about this.
RTI usually has low prices, & a real bargain could be found. IF you get lucky - Love to hear about it.
Your Pal, C..

OK to Move - if not under correct heading.

Not sure if I need a 1917 for my collection. Well, not yet anyway!

I've got enough projects laying around, but I'm sure I will take a peek when they come out. Thanks for the heads up. Takes me back to the Shotgun News days

Be careful, RTI doesn't exactly have a sterling reputation for the grading of their surplus finds.

Just saw them.
What I saw looked pretty rough to say the least.

I love mine, But lucked into IT. Had that NOT happened - I'd have afforded a beater to fix up - MAYBE.
I got a very nice late Brazil contract, delivered in 1946 for a beater price.

Where did you see them? I looked at the website and didn't locate them.

Yes. I'd shy away from anything RTI is offering, YMMV…
