  Unless I'm mistaken both AMT and Galena Industries, are long out of business.
  
  My personal experience with AMT and their predecessors stainless hand guns, wasn't positive.
  
  If you intend to buy it, be sure to test fire for function and accuracy. I would put at least 100 rounds through it before forking over any cash.

  When Galena Industries of Stugis South Dakota went bankrupt, the tooling, parts and rights to produce AMT firearms was purchased by High Standard.
  
  High Standard currently produces some of the AMT line of firearms which can be found at www.highstandard.com
  
  Having fired a vast majority of the AMT line of firearms produced in California plants and in Sturgis SD, my experience is every one functioned perfectly from the .22 to the .45 backup, the Automag II, III, IV and V - the Baby Automag and the .44 AMP Automag and the .22 rifles and .22 magnum rifles.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I had 3 of them, 2 .380 Back UP's and the top end of a .45 Long Slide. Neither of the Back Up's was reliable. My criteria was for them was to function reliably with two consecutive magazines of ammo. I gave up after awhile.
  
  The long slide top end was sold to me at a gun show, because it was inoperable from the factory. The extractor mortise wasn't machined correctly. I got it to function satisfactorily by going in with needle files and deepening the extractor mortise so that the extractor would grip the rims of the 45 ACP ammo, as it was designed to do.
