This was given to a friend after the owner passed away.
It’s a Unique Corsair, made in France, in .22LR. It has adjustable sights, front and rear, the front, when loosened, pivots front to back to adjust height.
You can see that the grips are destroyed, turns out the plastic they used self destructs with no help needed. Every thread I’ve read mentions this. Wonder if they were Tenite?
The rest of the gun is flawless to the point I’m not sure the gun was ever fired. Blueing perfect, not a scratch. Gun appears to be very well made.
They were imported by Firearms Int’l. out of DC, long gone. Also sold under the J.C. Higgins brand (Sears), and M. Wards.
I found original grips listed with a parts dealer, but feared the same result, so ordered polymer repros from Triple-K. Let’s hope their magazine reputation doesn’t extend to grips.
I hadn’t seen this gun before, figured I’d put it up here for your perusal.
Like to hear about anyone’s experience with these guns.
