**** TRADED **** NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
Interested in trades only (fortunately, don't need the cash). Para p14. SS / 5 inch double stack 1911. Factory milled to a flat top (for easy target acquisition). 5 mags (although one, a pro-mag doesn't quite fit right yet). This pistol has been a project. I purchased it from a rather dishonest seller some time back. It jammed bad when I first got it. I put a new trigger and mag release catch in it (both metal - SS, aluminum) and also replaced the main spring. Shoots like a champ now and feeds anything (I will guarantee this with cash buy-back to any person that trades for this, as I stand by my word). My next step with this pistol (if I don't trade it) is to put a traditional (but SS) as opposed to commander-style hammer on it. Don't have that yet though. Also includes a long recoil spring housing and accompanying barrel bushing. Supposedly these improve accuracy a tad, but I just use the factory para ones because these are a PITA to install after cleaning (they work, don't get me wrong, I'm just lazy and don't find the accuracy improvement worth it).
The *one* serious flaw on this para is the former owner did not know how to assemble a 1911 right. Near the slide release there is a scratch caused by the person slipping the release as he tried to force it in. (Imagine pushing on the release as you assemble a 1911 and it slipping up across the slide). The scratch is noticeable once I point it out to you. (You can try and see it in the first pic near the logo on the slide. It's *very* small, however; you really have to see it up close after I pointed it out to you before you'd know)
I am *NOT* interested in selling this for cash as I do enjoy it still, and you can count on NOBAMA figuring out how to ban these hi-cap pistols sooner or later. I am only interested in trades for other pistols, preferably of similar value. Both pistols and revolvers are of interest.
As for cash value, I think with the 5 mags (the 5th will work once you fully wear in the metal mag catch -- it worked with the old worn out plastic one) the package is worth close to $750/$800.
p.s. Also has nights sights, but I make no assurances to the quality of them. They are straight, for sure, but if you care about night sights you should consider replacing these IMHO. They do glow in the dark still, but I don't want to make any warranties about how bright they may or may not be. Consider them an iron sight for this trade.
FTF only. WA CPL required. No exceptions.
p.s.s. I've had a couple of PM's about trade requests. Really I don't have any. I'm open to anything of similar value. I guess if I had to make requests, I'd love a 454 Ruger Alaskan. I'm not interested in anymore 1911's unless they are of collector's interest. A pre-lock Model 29 4" or 6". I'd be interested in a Colt SA revolver in 45LC if you tossed in some cash. I am not interested in any Tupperware guns; no offense, they have their use, but I have enough. The only rifle I'm interested in is an M1 Garand of a quality equal to the value of the para (e.g. a CMP quality of ~ special or so). No AR's except an OA K23P-A3-TC. For the right trade I'd toss in some $ to equal out the value, so don't be afraid to propose something.
