Anybody seen any sources specifically for replacement barrels for an Astra 900 and generally for Astra 900 parts?
Astra 900 barrel and parts?

I had to think twice to remember what an Astra 900 WAS.
I have no idea of a parts source, I doubt I have seen three of them ever.
A barrel could be a custom from a blank.

Some of the Chinese Mausers had the barrel cut off, the part inside the receiver threaded and a new barrel screwed in; I see no reason that wouldn't work with an Astra. But an Astra 900 (in any version) is so rare that I would hesitate to alter one in any way. And registered selective fire versions are almost literally worth their weight in gold.

Astra model F (900)
I acquired an Astra Model F (900) lower receiver and bolt from an estate sale. Its super clean with 99% bluing, nice grips and rate-of-fire retarded in excellent shape. Just wondering if anyone would have an idea of it's value.
I appreciate any input on this. Thanks, John

Rem8nut- I assume that estate sale 900s come with tax stamps, right?

Rem8nut, be advised that you show the receiver of an Astra Modelo F which is a selective fire weapon and if it is not registered in accordance with the NFA, it will be considered contraband by your friendly BATFE person.
And if it IS papered, I found: "All the guns for the Guardia Civil order were made in 1934 and 1935 (most in 1935). Total production quantity was 1126 - the basic Guardia Civil order of 1000, plus a bit of an overrun. For unexplained reasons, in June 1935 only 950 were delivered to the Guardia, and the remainder kept by Unceta. These last ones were seized by the Republicans during the Civil War."
I wonder how many spare uppers they made? Zero or fewer, I bet. The only source I can think of is a barrel/receiver extension left after a full auto lower was scrapped. And I doubt Mauser parts fit.
