marmitemania Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Just brought a 1967 felix Sarasqueta sxs 12 from an auction, to cut a very long story short the safety switch and mechanism is missing, but the rest of the gun is very nice the blueing is very good and the barrels are dent and rust free, can anyone help point me in the right direction to obtain the parts I need? or is the gun a right off?.

marmitemania Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Think thats what it will be HDAV, do you think it would be worth repairing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oops Missed Again Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I think most Sarasqueta's were made by Victor, some of which were good quality. Like all "right off", the final value of the gun is very important. You can make the parts by hand, which isn't to difficult but I'm sure that would cost more than the gun is worth. Is it a boxlock non ejector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 there were a couple sarasqueta family members. victor, Felix, JJ, and maybe 1-2 more. You're not going to find spares readily available. You're going to have to have something adapted or made. rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to you, the reason it probably went to auction was because others thought it wasnt.......and probably isnt to make a profit but if you like the gun and want to own it rather than make a quick buck it might be do lots of research you may get lucky and find some suitable parts or someone who'll make them for the love of restoring an old gun (retired/semi retired gunsmith or alike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
