Thanks guys, you've all pretty much verified my first instincts. To answer a couple questions, he's asking $1000 for it, im pretty sure he thinks its an important piece of history. Not sure I want to tell him the truth, he's had it for years apparently. And no, I wasn't really interested in it, if I found out it was an interesting history piece I could have changed my mind, but a refinished parts gun? Not so much.
