$750 cash, though I have a few trades he may consider too.
That is a deal, assuming it is in good to excellent condition. There is an excellent array of aftermarket accessories for the M41. I recently purchased some beautiful Thai Rosewood grips, very reasonably priced. I like the slight differences in feel. Magazines are not a wallet breaker, not like Colt Woodsman or High Standard magazines. I have no idea what a five round Pardini, Benelli or Feinwabu magazine costs, but I will bet they start around $75.00.Just looked up the price of a Feinwerkbau AW93 magazine, $90.90 plus $27 shipping! Of course sight bases are available for M41's, and I have purchased M41 parts like extractors, extractor springs, mainsprings. Maybe I will need them, maybe not! I do replace mainsprings along with recoil springs, they all wear out and I don't want misfires during timed or rapid fire.
I don't know what breaks on these pistols. The recoil spring wears out, but all recoil springs wear out. I meet guys who wear out 1911 sears and hammers, so on my 1911 and M41'/M46's I always put a drop of LSA (or oil) on the hammer engagement surfaces. Compared to the 1911 22lr conversion kits the Master Class guys are using, my M41/M46 is quite trouble free. During the season count down to the National Matches many of the Master Class shooters use dedicated 1911 lowers with 22lr uppers. This is so they do not have to change grip, stance, trigger pull. After the National Matches they will play around with their favorite toys, just like everyone else.
Personally, owning a couple of the things, I have discounted any suggestion that they are "finicky", "unreliable", etc.
