LAR Grizzly questions

[GUNKWAZY]

Hello,
I'm usually on the Wheelgun side of this forum, but I have some questions RE: the LAR Grizzly.
First off, did the factory have options for compensators, or was this aftermarket stuff ?
Does a Comp add to the value ?
Also, how hard or desirable is the Mark 4 or 44 magnum version of this gun ?
Are mags available for these, is so, are they an arm & a leg, or just a leg ?
Finally, in your opinions, what would a very clean mark 4 sell for ?
I have a freind with one and and I'm trying to get a price range that I should not venture out of.

Thanks in advance for all your help, Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

The L.A.R. Grizzly did have a factory optional compensator. It was actually just a bushing compensator, but for some reason is worth about $100 according the Blue Book.

The Mark IV 44 Magnum was produced from 1991 to 1999 and does not bring any special premium.

Don't know about mags.

Value? NIB would bring about $850 to $900, Excellent condition $725 to $775.

Thanks

Thanks Stans,
I have the Blue Book along with the Standard Catalog of Firearms.
I'm actually interested in actual market type knowledge.
I don't see too many Grizzly's and the ones I do see tend to go for more than book prices. Also the Blue book does not address a compensater for the Mark 4 model. At least my book did not. It's the 25th anniv issue which I believe is current.

Thanks, Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

My Mark 4 44 Magnum has ports cut right in the bbl which extends ~ an inch beyond the bushing. They are good guns and equal to a custom built 1911 type in quality. I like the 44 caliber because ammo is readily available while the 45 and 357 Win Mags are hard to find ammo for. HTH

How long have you had your Mark 4 ?
Have you had any problems with it ?
Would you sell it, if so, for how much.
If you didn't have one, what would you pay for one ?
I just don't see them. Not even on GB or GA or AA.

Thanks, Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

A year or two.
No problems
Yes, I would but would prefer instate.
With the three mags I would ask $1,000. That's also what I would pay.

The gun is easily as nice as a custom 1911 job from the famous names, meaning the trigger, etc. is exceptional, millet sights, from the factory.

Helppppp

Help,
The Grizzly Mark 4 needs an extractor.
Can anyone help with that ?
Are they easy to install and are any available ?
