ap3572001
I am looking at .357 AMP Automag model 280 Covina Ca. gun with 10 1/2 inch barrel . One magazine , bolt have been jeweled , otherwise all factory origial. I have a chance to buy or make a trade.

The gun is in VERY nice condition . No box. One magazine.

What kind of value would You put on it ?

THANK YOU

    The original ones were by the Auto Mag Corp., in Pasadena Ca., in the early 70's. They were in business for only about year before going belly up. The one your inquiring about is a 3rd generation variation, made in Covina Ca. by AMT years latter. Although at this late date, all the generations are valuable collectors items. I don't believe that the later manufactured ones by AMT, are nearly as valuable as the first generation made in Pasadena.

    6 of 1, half dozen of the other. It was one of the companies that Harry Sanford controlled. I have seen the .380 backups sold under at least 3 different names. Just like the AutoMag clone your inquiring about.

    The bottom line, is don't pay the big bucks that the original Pasadena made Auto Mags get. The one your inquiring about is a 3rd? generation clone, that never will be as valuable.
