Kurt,
If you truely don't care about the amount of original finish left on the donor gun, then I would choose Sauer # 743 at $599.00. There are several other Sauers for sale at slightly more money that have more finish if you want to upgrade. I have bought several donor guns from Carl and always found him to be honest and forthright about what he has for sale. If you get a gun from him and find an unknown problem with it, he will either discount it to you or return your money. He is a first class dealer and a gentleman. Bob
