    Craigslist Find Should I Bite?



    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 see.

              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+

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

                    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.

                            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.
