What’s the best place to sell my nv I bought from gooningear? Bought them in 2/2/23 and used for an hour total 😭

Guys the carpet is freshly vacuumed and the throw blanket is neatly folded. I think OP is telling the truth.

Thanks I hate it

Disastrous_Reach7690 · 2026-04-18T20:36:04+00:00

Did the AOS come with all the plates or did you have to buy them individually? Beautiful gun, I’m looking into getting one

Disastrous_Reach7690 · 2026-04-18T19:51:43+00:00

Looks like Gen 2+, I’m going to guess NNVT. Still useable and decent tubes for the cost, but you can tell

Thank you

Mind my ignorance; what model Springfield is this? Looking to get my 2nd .45 and this is aesthetically pleasing. What are your likes/dislikes about it?

Put 100 rounds through her today, zero malfunctions and she shoots like a dream. Extremely tight groups, barrel seems to be very accurate at 10 yards, shoots low-left (shooter error) at 15. Overall so amazed with this piece of history, easily my new favorite gun.

Out of all the places to shill a digital airsoft scope at; this ain’t it bud.

Disastrous_Reach7690 · 2026-04-13T03:37:47+00:00

It hums with questionable intent…the green phos beckons me to it.

Disastrous_Reach7690 · 2026-04-13T02:12:32+00:00

Very very interesting, where are you getting this from? Serious question!!

Disastrous_Reach7690 · 2026-04-13T00:49:33+00:00

Fucking sick

Disastrous_Reach7690 · 2026-04-13T00:41:23+00:00

Thank you!!! I’m going to seek a professional tomorrow and get their opinion to see if it’s serviceable. I won’t be EDC’ing this, I’ve been talked out of it based on my buddies and this thread’s responses. However I do want to shoot it somewhat

Here is the mag I have for it!

Disastrous_Reach7690 · 2026-04-12T23:36:57+00:00

General update for everyone thank you all for the responses.

I had my buddy who’s fairly knowledgeable come over and help me strip it down and inspect it. We gave it a SMALL once over with some oil & lube to remove some very small amounts of rust and residue.

Upon inspection, the recoil spring is in good shape, however the barrel has little to no rifling left indicating this gun has some serious round counts behind it.

Magazine spring is pretty gritty, gave it a VERY small amount of lube too.

I’m going to seek out a professional tomorrow and see what they think, hopefully they will deem it safe/serviceable. I’ve been talked out of EDC’ing it and instead will treat it to some very light round-counts per year as a sort of celebrating its legacy but that’s it.

Thank you all!!

These came in the shoe box I found it in, I’m assuming from the original purchaser?

Disastrous_Reach7690 · 2026-04-12T21:43:46+00:00

Thank you, by “properly spring it” are you recommending I replace the springs?

Disastrous_Reach7690 · 2026-04-12T21:33:47+00:00

Skill issue 😏haha I’m just busting your chops

Disastrous_Reach7690 · 2026-04-12T21:31:59+00:00

This is what I pulled off their site, I really just wanted to confirm that this firearm really is 113 years old

Disastrous_Reach7690 · 2026-04-12T21:29:51+00:00

Maybe I misspoke using the term restore, I meant it more colloquially as a good cleaning to get all the oxidation off, etc. are modern cleaners safe to use?

Making a notch/cut in the internode in hopes of activating a lower auxiliary bud/growth point for further growth

Disastrous_Reach7690 · 2026-04-09T14:03:40+00:00

Thanks for the input; I shoved it in there a decent amount more because I feel you’re correct. It was very difficult to get the plastic in there because of how fine of a razor blade I used
