The New Auto Mag Company

Mike
You have probably already seen this but here is one that has been on there for a while as his price is way high. He could probably get $2500 if he lowered the price.
That is the box they came in, very poorly built but everybody wants one for their BAM.
If you can get the one for $1600 or less, you are getting a fair deal if it is not all beat up. They shoot good.

Thanks MRC,
It's not something that is of any real interest to me right now. Doesn't fit any niche I'm collecting currently.
I posted it on here because I know some have an interest in these types of handguns, and wanted to get opinions on it.
If you, or anyone else, had posted that you had to have it for your collection I would do all I could to put the two parties in contact with each other.

MRC:
I bought one years ago for $1200 and never shot it. They just are not my thing but they are very popular.
Here is serial #1 that sold recently.

MikeInTexas:
Wow, that was something. Sure the seller was happy, bidding started at $2K and went to over $9K with a few active bidders.
I am surprised the one I saw hasn't shown up on GB.

Mike, this might interest you.
This Auto Mag is 45 years old believe it or not, made in 1975 by the late Lee Jurras. Lee owned Super Vel Ammunition Company back in the 70's and is credited for developing the modern hollow point pistol ammunition. Lee hunted all over the world and was awarded the Outstanding American Handgunner award. Here is an article written about Lee by John Taffin.

8%2Dgrain%20jacketed%20bullet.
It is chambered for the 357 Auto Mag cartridge which is a rimless 44 Magnum necked down to 357. 158 grain bullets are propelled at close to 2000 fps from the 8 1/2" barrel.
I really like the case, it just screams 1970's. The brace/buttstock dovetails into the pistol grip and is removeable. This SBR is covered under Curio and Relics by the ATF.
Lee designed this for long range pistol hunting and targeted the "Executive Type Hunters".
