I'm a noob at these so please forgive but my lack of confidence.
This is pork right?

I probably will pass on this one. The seller doesn't make any representations on the condition but I'll watch it.
Thanks.

You are correct that is what we refer to as a pork chop model. The pictures aren't the best so it's hard to tell exactly what the condition is. You could always email the seller to request more photos and to elaborate on the condition.
Doesn't look like the barrel tool is included either...

Thanks Jody. It's one of the ones I want but something is telling me to hold off right now. I'll keep an eye on it.

That w12 has been on GB quite a few times, seller keeps relisting it. Perhaps he would entertain a reasonable offer.
It looks like a good one to me, I think what holds it back from selling is the styling of the older porkchops, with the exposed barrel nut and lumpy rear sight, uh, well, they kinda appeal to a relatively small fan base.
I bet it would make a good shooter.

I agree on all points.
I would bet that after this amount of time, the seller would surely soften on his asking price. It seems like a good one to me too, from what I can see. And yes, the Porkchops in general tend to be the bottom-feeders of the DW food chain so far...which is fine by me, since these guns may be the last decent
I can find out there these days.
I've grown quite a fondness to the 'ol 'Chops, ownership tends to do that sometimes. If the one in the above auction wasn't one I already have, I would be all over it. But I would talk him down a few bucks first.
Here's a few of mine...

Like Cf said they may go low though Quality is all there! I have watched that one roll over several times and looks like a good one to me. I had though if my 
is not fed with others it is one I would make contact on!

If you decide to buy this gun I have a barrel wrench you can have for the cost of shipping. I have several of the barrel wrenches, but no pistols that require that style wrench.

Thanks guys. I've sent him an email but I'm guessing I'll pass. I'm concerned about the negatives feedback he has gotten. Pork is on my list but a shooter I can maybe hunt deer with (like I have a chance of hitting it ) or something in stainless is higher on my want list.
In terms of a shooter, I'm also watching this, but the end of the 8" barrel concerns me.

Based on the serial number for that one I would think it should be a pork chop model so the barrel assemblies don't match. As rough as that one is I think I would look for something a little nicer.

That last one showed up in another Topic, and the more I see it the less I like it (and I didn't think much of it to start with). Questionable modifications, and everything is pretty beat up.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Take a good look at picture #15 I don't see a barrel nut. This thing is a beat up mess, I'd pass.

Thanks guys. I heard from the seller of the first one. Well, kind of. Five words and no additional pictures. The second one is pretty rough. Sometimes I can be too cheap. I'll find something. Thanks again.
