I was given one for “free” by a family member about ten years ago. After spending 400 bucks to get it operational, I’ve found it works fine sometimes as a single shot. That is, if it’s in the mood to eject the brass. Mine uses a model 88 magazine, which might be part of the problem.
If I had to do it all over again, I’d have said no thanks.
Had to:
Weld the broken operating rods
Polish chamber
Replace firing pin
Repair cracked stock, broken when previous owners disassembled it
