Classic has em cheap!
Guys,
Classic has P-64's at $179.99. It says the condition is good but I bet it is the end of their last shipment. Still.............

Close enough for Government work will get you dead, ask any Vet.

I did not read far enough to see about the "other side cosmetic problem". See Curly's post abiut this. Sorry.

Yeah, the picture they showed didn't look all that great. I'll pay a little more for one of their really good ones. As Classic said on their site, if you want a glove box gun or something like that you can't beat it.
Re: Classic has em cheap!
I got my gun from Classic a few months ago and it was in pretty good condition. It's got some holster wear on it but I honestly like my surplus guns to look used. It adds character to them.
Re: Classic has em cheap!
I bought one a while back and it was good. Looked good and mechanically sound. I just bought 2 more last week when they dropped the price to $219 and said they were "GOOD TO VERY GOOD."
I think our definitions vary. One was pretty good but the other looked like a camo finish! I had brown splotches and the safety was frozen SOLID! The guy (a friend) with the FFL license I had them shipped to used a polish called "Major Shine" and got the discoloration out. BUT ..... it also lightened the finish so I have a light blued/black/silver but VERY shiny finish. Looks like clear coat. Kinda growing on me but not the solid black finish shown or that I received with the other pistols I got there or at AIM Surplus. Just be warned.

Re: Classic has em cheap!
I bought mine before the price was dropped to $219. My gun is good to very good. As for the guns they were selling at a discount, doubtful. My gun only has minor holster wear.

Re: Classic has em cheap!
I just ordered one of the cheapos tonight. F you all are interested, I can take pictures of it and share when I get it.
Re: Classic has em cheap!
Please do that. I'd be curious. The one (of 2) that I got looked like water damage. Splotches of brown in the finish both sides and the safety/fire switch was FROZEN! With that part being one of the harder replacements to find, I was VERY careful with it. Got it apart no problem, cleaned, lightly filed & sanded then lubed. Smooth as new! Mechanically the gun was OK. The finish was another story. My friend (the gunsmith/FFL dealer) used "Major Shine" polish and got the brown out. But it also lightened the bluing so that pistol looks light blue/black/silver with a clear-coat over it. Odd but it's growing on me.kdwright5407 wrote:I just ordered one of the cheapos tonight.

Re: Classic has em cheap!
Cool. I'm a bit anxious to get it. I always get this way with a new purchase, but with this one supposedly being less of a looker, I'm uber curious. This will also be my "least collectible" c&r, I'm cool with trying to buff or polish the imperfections out. I'm also good with an ugly gun if it's got good, honest wear and tear. We'll see.robhic wrote:Please do that. I'd be curious. The one (of 2) that I got looked like water damage. Splotches of brown in the finish both sides and the safety/fire switch was FROZEN!

Re: Classic has em cheap!
I just got an email from Classic that my order has a shipping label and tracking info. I ordered it yesterday afternoon. They are on top of things. Man, I'm anxious to see what I get.
Re: Classic has em cheap!
How much does classic arms charge for shipping?
I don't smoke, drink or do drugs, I only have one small problem. I Lie.
Re: Classic has em cheap!
It cost me $19.87 ± to ship 2 so I'd guess around $10 for one....MinnMD66 wrote:How much does classic arms charge for shipping?

Re: Classic has em cheap!
Well, mine was more than "imperfections." It looked like it had set in water for some time. BIG splotches of brown in the otherwise dark blued finish and the safety/fire switch was completely (NO exaggeration!) frozen in the 'FIRE' position. It would NOT BUDGE. Afraid to break anything, I immediately soaked it in 'Ballistol' overnight and disassembled it the next day. No problems, at least. Once apart I filed and sanded and changed springs then lubed. Went together easily and is now completely functional. Except the odd light blue/silver/dark blue finish.kdwright5407 wrote:... I'm cool with trying to buff or polish the imperfections out.
