Picked this up on MCB the other week for...$84 shipped! I'm fairly certain this was a steal, at least to me it was considering the below info. I'm a sucker for old/rare.
Talk about a classic piece! It's an old unibody Phantom, SN#2086!!! Not just a little old, but old for a unibody at that. It's in really decent shape all things considered. Functionally perfect, but it shows some wear from the pump handle and, oh I dunno, 20 years or so of service.
Anyways, here she is:
I thought the 45 grip was an ICD Line SI 45 grip block until I got some info on MCB about it. It's a bit of a collector piece, apparently. ICD did not engrave the back of the Line SI .45 frames, this piece is very old and super rare. I can't wait to see how the acid wash colors sit in the engraving...<drool>
With a bottomline setup for use at RE:
What's really awesome is the pump stroke. I've never had a phantom with a pump stroke this smooth that was able to chrono over 250. Of all the Phantoms I've owned(about 8-9) this one wins in the pump stroke category hands down. The springs are a perfect combination. Oh, and he gave me 2 full sets of springs with it!
After RE it's going into a box and sent to Destroyer125 for an acid bath to match my rust wash 'Roninmag'.
