Very Nice Gene. This appears to essentially be a MX8 ramp rib combo.... the Grand Americans I've seen were a an unsingle with a rib like a MX14 on the single barrel and a short rib on the o/u.

The ribs on this gun appear to match that of a MX2000/8.

 

Thanks

The GA 1s were all unsingles-- I had one and liked it but of course people tell you why if you change guns you will get better ---

The GA88s were for people that preferred top singles -- The original GA88 was a top single combo, typically with medium high rib. The only difference from a MX-8 combo was the rib.

This one happens to have been hidden away to be in the condition it is in -- and if you follow P Guns you know how unusual it is to have this grade of wood.

GA 88 Combo's were introduced with an MX-8 set of iron and mx3 barrel configurations.

All Ga1's were unsingles.

GA88 was a very underestimated gun. Performed like an MX3 special because of the barrel weight's.

One of the best Perazzi's ever produced.

 

Beautiful, very tempting to own this beauty.

 

Gene, if the owner wanted to install a double release, what trigger group would he look for? TIA

 

convert that one or look for a selective double release.

 

Ok, to clarify, what trigger group would he look for so as to leave the original untouched.

 

Yu would want an MX8 style trigger. That's an MX8 receiver

 

Thanks! Gene, do you concur?

(I'll add "not a Perazzi expert" to my bio)

 

Any MX 8 series trigger. Easy as long as it was a top first or selective

if someone wanted to purchase this without the trigger that could be done also

You could add not a P gun expert either. Lol

 

Why shoot an ugly gun?

 

Oh very true! But I have a Ljutic Bi-Gun, some think that doesn't belong in the "not-ugly" category. Didn't stop me from obtaining it.

 

Gene,

You can convert top first or bottom first to selective.

Just send it to Phillips' Gunsmithing.

 

True

 

This gun appears to have a P-4 internally selectable trigger.

Best trigger they ever made.

This is a nice gun at a good price

Should sell quickly

 

I might take a small trade towards this

 

The Grand America 2 was a top single coming after the GA 1.

 

This price range you can own one of the best P guns ever made at a fraction of what comparable ones sell for

 

Why shoot an ugly gun?

 

Waiting for your trip to the next 100 straight or even games with that .42 choke or doubles championship

The Doubles barrel would work for sporting clays also

Shoot a great looking gun

 

Shoot a great gun to smoke targets

 

Break them from any distance

 

You want to be shooting this and getting compliments in the gun rack and one the range--- tight enough to shoot "games" with at any range also

 

Quality

 

Target Smoking Package

 

New top barrel firing pin.

Decided it needed a new look although the original was fine

 

Still for sale ? Where is the gun located, thank you.

 

Changed firing pin … top barrel . The original was fine but someone suggested the tip looked like a small chip

 

dang..im a lefty.

 

This would work for a lefty also

 

what side is that palm swell on?

 

Very very very slight palm swell both sides-- nearly non existant like all Perazzis of that era and most now-- refer to the photos above

 

hmmmm...i see it in the pic. looks likes a rh cast maybe?

 

Looks straight or so close that you cant tell -- maybe 1/16th of an inch like nearly all Perazzis of that time

 

Great gift for yourself
