Asking Price Is $200.

I think the mini has response trigger. Do I need the guns not really? But it would nice to have a few projects lined up.

I have to agree.. I just picked one up on mcarterbrown.com for $60 shipped I got it as my loner gun but then again it wasn't a minimag just right pf mag, classic valve, chrome taso rail, 8" barrel, stock cf frame, but its was in working condition..

So I guess I'll offer him $150 and see if he bites.

Really?

I ask because I've watched the last 20 near stock automag/minimags go anywhere from $60 (what I go mine for--and the cheapest I've seen in awhile) to $150+

Most all of them have been $90+

I have three notices in my inbox for fairly stock mags that sold for $61, $73 and $79 just in the past couple of weeks.

Well I have some for $72.25, $73, $78, $80, $90, $91, $100, $112, $150, $183 :D

Regardless, I think if he can snag these 2 guns for $150ish itd be a good buy

I do not ever remember seeing an auto-response frame with a safety. It appears to me to be a PTP Pro Team Pro-Series .45 Frame. I pulled this picture from the PTP website, it is not very clear but you get the idea.

The autoresponse milling is identical to the benchmark frames milling, externally at least. Heck, I have a Benchmark Micromag frame that Sean_Chip modified so the internals are from a Pro-Line Autoresponse! It works prefectly and is a total sleeper! Also, they have the same printed safety instructions.

Anyway, judging by the shape of the trigger an the way it sits in the frame, I think it's an autoresponse. Autoresponse triggers sit a little "up" and come forward more than your average swing trigger... They travel further on the pull. I'm not sure exactly how to describe it so here's a picture.

:confused:

I'm talking about the trigger plat itself... While he Autoresponse came with a very specific and unique trigger shoe that was designed for it, even without it (and the pictured Minimag doesn't seem to have one) the trigger still sits differently in the frame and has a longer stroke than a benchmark frame.

Frizzle Fry is right. The Auto-Response trigger itself was WAY forward compared to the Benchmark. If you look at his picture of the Auto-Response the trigger shoe is on as far back as they can go.

Cool frames. Kinda regret selling mine.

Well only one way to find out :rolleyes:

If it is a auto response you just made up your money with the frame alone.

Yep. I was buying one recently and found that good condition AutoResponses have been selling at (not being listed at) anywhere from $100-$135 lately, with more worn/used/abused models going for $90-$115. That one looks to be in great shape aside from the missing trigger shoe so I wouldn't be surprised if you could get $135 for it.

Yeah you guys are right. The trigger is a dead giveaway, I did not notice that. It is a rather unique trigger PULL. I had one since they first appeared. Only toyed with it a little bit at first. Could not use it anywhere back then so it sat forever. I sold it in july, very clean with vhs tape, for $120. I do remember it ripping like nothing else at the time and it was a workout on the hand if I recall. Never saw them with a safety, I always wanted a safety on mine.

I've got one that's been transplanted into a Benchmark frame... Safety On = Single Shot and Safety Off = Hyper (response). :cool:

I think Sean_Chip made it.
