My lack of patience may have just gotten the best of me.

Pulling the trigger on a SA rebuild that I've had my eye on since July. It's a Remington Rand slide on an Ithaca lower that would be classified as field grade condition. It's at a pawn shop in another state and they're finally ready to part with it at a price that I'm willing to pay.

I'm still in for a pistol if offered one through the lottery, but hopefully this will make the wait a little more bearable.

Edit: Pistol has been paid for and will be shipping tomorrow. Should hopefully have it in hand on Saturday.

The Springfield rebuild that I picked up out of AR arrived at my FFL yesterday. It had a few external corrosion issues as I was expecting, but the overall condition of the pistol was better than expected. The pistol has a RR slide, Ithaca frame, and High Standard barrel. It's seen very little use since it was rebuilt at Springfield, but it has unfortunately not been stored properly at some point in time. All in all, it's what I was hoping for...an inexpensive shooter that hasn't been bubba'd. I'll start a new thread in the milsurp section with additional info and photos, but here's a photo of the finished product.

Glad to hear that you received your number...sorry that it won't be filled until the 2019 pistols are received though. Hopefully that will occur sooner rather than later and they receive the full 10,000 maximum.
