Need Advice on Buying a Pre-Owned .22 Magnum Mini

[cookster]

It does not come with a .22 lr conversion cylinder, but I would like to buy one from NAA. . .

Would I have to send the gun in to them to ensure a good 'fit' with the conversion cylinder, or,

Can I order a conversion cylinder and have confidence that the 'fit' will be o.k.?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Rob

Buy the pistol. They have a lifetime warranty. You will have to send the pistol into NAA to have the conversion cylinder fitted to your gun. While it is there NAA will check your gun and clean it up and service it. It will come back to you looking brand new and with the .22lr conversion cylinder.

What roguets1 said.

Of course, the price is the driving factor, along with the availability of new guns. MSRP on a new mini mag is about $225.00, and a new conversion is about $255ish. Factor in the cost of shipping to NAA (if you ship it, $40-$60; if your FFL ships it, $10ish, plus any charges he will have for his paperwork, time, packing, etc.), and back ($9-10), and it has to be a real bargain to make it a worthwhile deal. The NAA charge for the cylinder is $50.00. It will likely work out better to just shoot it until a problem arises, then have the cylinder made.

I have sent back several for customers, and ones I have bought as "parts guns". Everyone has ALWAYS returned looking like a brand new gun!!
