Ran across this a while back and had to save it from a pack breaking.  Haven't shot it yet, very nice condition.  The ugly nut kind of grows on you.smile

I hate the way the flash distorts things.  The grips on this gun are beautiful and those pics make it look like the rolled down a hill.  Anyway, now I'm a member of the ugly nut owners club.

I know those nuts are rare as a three dollar bill, but does anybody have a substitute or source for any?

You can substitute a 15-2 nut if you want, they use the same threads.

That's a real beauty right there, way to go! I can't tell by the pic, is that a W12 or a -12- ?

Oh, and welcome to the ugly nut club.occasion laugh

Cool, I thought it probably was. I bet that case is original to the gun, too. From what I've been able to deduce, they started using that black case right near the end of the W12 production & on into the model 15's.

Congrats on your cool find.occasion

I took the foam out of the case the other day and I found the factory sticker with serial number attached inside the upper half of the case under the foam.  So I'm assuming this is the original case the gun came with.
