MKIII lipseys model

[Jhuppdog]

I would like to say hello to all. I have found this forum over the past couple of days while doing research on a Mark III that I have fallen in love with. I went into a gun shop and saw a Mark III lipseys model. I am attaching a link

Does anyone know anything about this particular gun or what is a good price for it? It is a blued gun that has a matte black finish with the silver grips. Are these lipsey models a limited run? How does the matte finish hold up compared to blued or stainless.

Thanks in advance for all the input.

Just a variation of a regular cataloged model contracted by Lipseys. Aside from the grips, it's the same. The finish is blued, just a matte finished blueing. Treat it like you would any other and it'll be fine.

Yeah I like the look of it as well. I was originally looking at the stainless model but really like the look of this one better. Do you mind me asking how much they are asking up there? I think Lipseys said the retail is 585.

Im not real sure on the price, I know ImpactGuns.com has them for $406, with shipping and everything it'll probably be about $450-475.

Im picking up a Matte Black 10/22 sometime this week from my FFL, im gonna ask him if he can get it and how much.

Im gonna get some black G10 grips on it, its gonna look awesome.
