Picked this up this morning for $50
Model 1921 Astra 400 complete lower but the slide is stripped.

Some surface rust with very light pitting.


I never handled one of these before and I like how it lines up.


TIme to go to work.



Just ordered everything BUT a magazine, which I think I can land locally.

Well, it works. Pretty damn good too
Was hitting a basketball sized rock at 100yds easily.

My loads were a bit softer than the factory largo as they dropped like rocks at 90 yds.

Got to get some 130 FMJs to load up. It's not too fond of LFP loads.
