I need help for posting pics. Can't seem to get it done.

Very simple really.

1) Get a Pic Host account such as Imageshack, Photobucket, or Hunt101.com, the latter which I use.
2) Upload your Pics to your Pic Host Gallery
3) Copy ( keyboard - Ctrl+c ) the Forum Pic Link you get from Your host
4) Paste ( keyboard - Ctrl+v ) the Forum Pic Link into Your post
5) Click on "Save" when done editing

Of course the trick with Photobucket is to just click the "IMG" code, which automatically copies the pic link to your Computer, and all you have to do is Paste ( keyboard Ctrl + v ) into your post.

Thank you for the pic.

Post by: czechollector on November 08, 2015, 03:35:01 AM: Thanks guys. The front sight was replaced with a white bead type, and I don't believe the trigger is original either. But it is what it is. lol

Post by: Psyop96 on November 08, 2015, 08:37:24 AM: Thanks for mentioning that about the front sight. It didn't look like either the older ramp or later post style. In the photo, the trigger looks thinner than the ones from the period. Does it have an over travel screw? It might well be the trigger style found in the 1980s production. Looking forward to a range report.

Post by: czechollector on November 08, 2015, 01:02:52 PM: When it arrived I took it apart to clean it. Looked like it had gone 1000 rounds without cleaning. Didn't see any over travel screw. Hope to take it out later in the week. Just can't seem to get enough range time anymore. :(

Post by: MP2 Guy on November 08, 2015, 08:22:13 PM: Nice weapon! Other than the lack of cleaning it seems in nice condition. How was the bore after cleaning? Any issues?

Cannot wait to hear the range results.

Do it!! One of my favorite guns I own is my Pre-B transitional that was a worn Israeli surplus pistol I souped up and went to SAO. Mine looks a little rough, but shoots awesome.

Bore looks ok. No other issues noticed.

Post by: ArLEOret on November 11, 2015, 10:40:23 PM: I bought one also. Was very dirty inside and out. Looked like it had been dragged by a tank thru the Negev Desert. Barrel must have never been cleaned. After cleaning it looks great and the bore looks good too. Pics to follow after Thanksgiving when my grandson shows me how!

Post by: SPO1SHADOW on December 19, 2015, 09:27:59 PM: I found and purchased one of these on Gun Broker. it should be here on Tuesday. I plan on stripping the finish off and hot salt bluing it and filling it full of CGW parts. It looks rough as a cob right now but the inside looks great. Can't wait to get started on it.

Sounds like a interesting project, i would love to see some pictures of the process if it is plausible.

Anyone have an idea how many were made?

Mine is dated '93, S/N M8XXX.

Not sure if a TON were made or the other pre-b's have been grabbed up, but they're the most common pre-b variants on 'for sale' gun boards. At least that was the case when I was looking for a pre-b earlier this year. I want to say they were being produced / pieced together from 92-94. I ended up finding a like new 94'. Absolutely love that pistol.
