Trade Radom P64 for Rock Island 1903?
I've got the chance to trade my Polish Radom P64 for a sporterized Rock Island 1903, with a serial in the 400,000 range.
The rifle appears to have 70% blueing, and a solid stock with no issues. From the pictures, it appears to have the barrel sight cut off, and perhaps recrowned. I'm not positive.
My Radom is a standard 1970 model with 1 magazine. I have several, so it's not particularly unique to me. The pistol would be merely a range gun and doubtfully every called into duty above any of my modern handguns.
My thought is that the rifle action is excellent, and these are more historically interesting. And the receiver and action alone are probably worth the value of the P64. I think it would be at least a straight fair trade, and probably there is more value in the 1903.
I do own a few 1903s, and picked up a gem last week too. Thinking of adding this RI to my collection.
Input appreciated.
