Some question about my new cocker

hockeytown · 08-22-2008, 03:40 PM

What can you guys tell me about my new cocker? I didn't realize it was a minicocker until I opened the box. The anno is immaculate. The SN is 1165. The VA is made by taso. The LPR is from PPS, maybe the ram too. The barrel feels like stainless steel, it is heavy. And it has Hogue grips.

How old is it? What is it worth? Who made the barrel?

The seller said it needs to be timed, I have no clue how to do that.

Well it's not the original ano. It's probably like mine and was put together over time and then re-ano'd so the whole gun matched. The grip frame is not stock (they didn't start making the all metal 45's for several years after your MC was made)... you're looking at 94ish for when the body was made by WGP.

Mine started life as a minicocker... only 710 guns after yours.

Looks very nice. I think we've seen this one here before.. but I'm not 100% sure on that.

It shoot wonderfully. After I screwed the backblock out a few turns, and put the bolt in the right way. I can't wait to use it this sunday.

Great looking sniper Schmitti
