Hello i am new to gunsmithing and would like to get some advise on where to get basket case pistols to restore. the only experience i have is restoring an m1 garand that had been in a fire, i had a lot of fun with the project and would like to do more.
i now would like to restore a pistol but i have no idea where to find one. i would like to get one that is somewhat simple to do yet challenging to someone newer with firearms. i was thinking maybe a 1911? And the price range I'm hoping for would be about 100-150$ any advise will be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.
p.s. this is my first post and I'm not even sure if a basketcase would be under the smithy section. thanks again for any advice.
