Looking good as a salvage project  ...I'm sure Andy could tell us what's the make of that resin replica. Eager to see it finished. |

That is one I have not seen before. It reminds me a lot of the Wilco that was a recast of the original resin Sidkit. The resin color looks the same. This one is a recast of the metal Sidkit pre-worldcon version. It is also separated into a few more parts than the Wilco kit. Any information on how/where it was obtained would be helpful to my research.

| I don't know much other than it was probably found on eBay and it has Steyr misspelled as Stayr on the barrel engraving.. |

Ooops! I just realized I made a mistake here. This is a recast from a Hartford then. Not a Sidkit. I guess I didn't look closely enough.

I think that might be a first gen MIM recast. I believe they used the hartford and a sidkit to make their first kits.
Nice build up either way!

Thanks guys!
Tain, I am considering having some metal parts made for future projects, but this one was cast with the grip, barrel and cylinder all attached. It was kind of a lost cause.
I just purchased an interesting receiver and ammo housing from an old rifle that I'm looking at converting. It wasn't a Steyr, but it has some similarities. |
