A lgs has a sporter1891 Argentine, for $110 I'm thinking of getting, I'm in the middle of a ar15 build so this would be the money I'd spend on the larue trigger.
I've owed probaby 7-8 91 argetines so I'm familiar with them, only have the semi custom one at the moment.
About the gun, it's a bit more then the usual cut down 91. Barrel looked to be 22-24" has a William rear sight on the barrel, it almost looked a touch off level but could be my eyes. Short front sight post Soldered on not the original band.
Crest on the action was ground off but looks well done, not drilled and tapped I actually prefer that. Bolt is not bent either, bolt,action,barrel matching not that it matters since it cut up. I checked the bore quick but can't really remember if it was good, tho nothing screamed out to me.
Normal cut down stock, had a small crack behind the tang, should be fixable, can't blame it being so old. I'm not sure if I Hurd the owner right but it may come with 3 boxes of ammo with a few missing in each.
all seem fine for the price but the magazine is missing, a year ago I remember seeing them for $30 now there $50+ if found in stock. I can use my other rifles mag until I get a magazine.
I figure at worst I can get a 45 acp barrel and make a fun little shooter.
So should I grab the Argentine.
