A local Norwich 715 for sale.

First concern is the advancement star on the extractor looks extremely worn, but I cannot access my only Norwich in comparison:

Next is the pronounced scratches on the Right-hand side.   Will they scotchbrite out?

Lastly, owner posted that: "Likes Remington primers, does not like CCI."   Maybe the grip is over-tightened?  

But he also says "Sent it back to the factory. Nothing wrong. They recommended Rems, same answer I got from Starline Brass. CCI are very hard."

Owner wants $1K for gun with 6" and 8".   He will not take $800, but will take $900 today.   I am thinking it over, but exercising caution.

Advice, opinions, or thoughts?   Thanks.

Hmmmm not sure what to say….I noticed the heavy scratching is only on the frame, the BA looks normal.  I wonder what happen to cause someone to do that…it appears to have been severely Scott Brite’d.

That extractor star looks adulterated. Either messed with or extremely well used. I gave never seen anything  like it. I would stay away from the gun.

I would bet the scratching on the frame is mostly due to the angle of the gun to the camera and lighting. In person, I bet it looks much more normal.

As far as the extractor star, yeah I dunno. New fangled design maybe? Now I'm gonna have to pay more attention to the ones I see on GB & such.

Yeah Charger Fan, I am curious about that star. It looks very symmetrical so it might be factory. I am not familiar with the later CZ 715s where they changed the vents and lines of the shroud. Perhaps the star was changed then. Does anyone have one of those models they can check for us? I mean will someone with one of them check. I am sure some members have them. 🙄

I checked my 2 715s, a Monson and a Palmer, and they both looked like the regular Monson star ejector. I wish I had a Norwich 715 to check. drool

My Norwich is just like the one shown! Although not as worn. It does look like a high round count.

Does anyone know when DW changed from recessed chambers to the fenced cylinder we’re looking at here? BTW, this ratchet star and fenced cylinder is looking a lot like the Colt Trooper MK lll.IMG_0734.jpegImage Enlarger
