Are You interested in selling your Indian Arms 380?

No. It was my dads, I am keeping it. But I do need to pull it out and check the serial number. Thanks

Never been shot until I got it, and did not know what I had in my hands , shot about 30 rounds. Now that I know after reading all the post I will keep and not use anymore ...
Thanks all for the history involved , sure it is a beautiful gun !!!

 

[rbenda]

004765
I read that about only 1000 was made , and the serial numbers dont really mean that much.
What you think ?
One of my magazines have some corrosion, if you have a spare one ? I want buy one.
Thanks

I have 2 Indian Arms pistols (002865 & 005079), one is new and the other has been fired very little.

I'm keeping a list of the lowest and the highest serial numbered guns that have and don't have the red sights. Also the lowest and the highest serial numbered guns. These are only guns that I have seen personally or on the web.

In this way I might be able to determine most probably how many were made.
So far the lowest serial numbered gun is 002034 and the highest is 005176.
The lowest serial numbered red sight is 005070 and the highest is 005176.

As stated, some were not given actual serial numbers but the names of the owners
such as: STANLEY-1, STANLEY-2, GEORGE-1 and TED-1.

Any more info that any of you guys can offer, I'd appreciate it.

The place to go for Indian Arms parts is: Poppert's Gun Parts Contact

It is best to call him, quicker service that way. He has stripped slides, safeties, rear sights (must be cut to fit) and various other parts. His web site doesn't list Indian Arms parts but he has them- just ask.

 

[armabill]

Gun World of December 1975 and Guns & Ammo of July 1975 both have articles in them on the Indian Arms.

Forgot to mention: the stripped slides are machine finished but are unpolished.
Between parts sources from Numrich and Poppert's, I completed 2 slides.

Some parts that I got from Numrich was for the Walther PPK which fit fine.

I filed and polished the slides before installing the parts. However, the slides side rails are a little longer near the hammer end than the fully finished slides. This won't hurt fit or function but only visually.

I have a Indian Arms 380 my father bought new and I dont need it in my collection. It has been fired only a few times, and if anyone is interested I would sell it for $500. Shipping only to a FFL is $25. Serial number is 003095. Photos available.

Ive got the slide and frame of the one that blew my safety apart. Have the spare guts from it as well if anyone is interested in buying it. Otherwise Ill keep it in my display case.

I think its awesome that a few guys on here really shared some unique information and pictures. Thanks fellas!

ZA_Survivalist: How much are you asking for it?

ZA_Survivalist and Brad B: Do either of you have the box, warranty card, parts list and exploded drawing with it?

$400 plus insured shipping of $25 to an FFL only, I dont have the box or paperwork, my father bought the gun new but I dont have those items. it has been shot only a handful of times. Bianchi 19 holster goes with it.

Picked one up yesterday.
Feels and disassembles just like a walther. Looks slightly different.
Just curious if anyone here owns one as well.
However, I've yet to find if the walther magazines are compatible.
Anyhow its all steel, very clean like new. I know some but there is very little on the web. Company was in business for only two years and "supposedly" they only made "1000"?
I very much doubt it because my SN is in the 3000' s. Cool if its true. But I heard they'd make the purchaser a custom SN if requested.
Anyhow it was a good deal given the price and quality just curious about a few things.
Anyone who's got one or has someone the know who may own one please chime in.

These guns had no sequenced serial numbers. The company used many numbers to project a larger quantity of guns manufactured. My gun books verify this and there were only 1000 made in that 2 year period.

Found Numrich had a safety in stock, now just have to have a gunsmith install it.

Looks like they have at least one more if anyone is still interested.

$48.95 FOR A SAFETY, COME ON............ Gun Parts use to sell parts at reasonable prices........

 

[kat1950]

That is a good price, I have paid Earl up to 100.00 for Walther PPK safety, and it is the same safety
