I. The “AutoMag
II” was designed and built by Harry W. Sanford, of California—one of the great
gun gurus of the 20th Century. He was the originator of the Arcadia Machine
& Tool company and other innovative gun companies. He spent his life
making, dealing, shooting, and collecting guns. His stainless-steel,
ahead-of-their-time, technological creations have soared in value, comparable
to guns of well-known companies.
II. Hence, this
Irwindale, California built model (some say was the best) has been completely
dismantled and every stainless steel part meticulously bead-blasted with
ultra-fine media. Excluding the mags, you’d virtually be hard pressed to find
any marks or visible wear anywhere, on any stainless steel part! The gun is
literally like new! Included are a total of four mags. Three are as-new, never
loaded, and one is used, and they all have orange followers (some have said
they’re more collectible?). The 3 extra mags are worth, give-or-take, $120 or
so, but the price does not reflect that. This gun also comes with everything in
the photos including the factory serial-numbered box, manual, original
paperwork, (rare) AMT tool, the original factory grips, and a full schematic
from Numrich.
III. How about
more good news? The Consignor stated that he is the original owner and only
fired a couple of boxes or so of ammo through it. From the looks of things, I
believe him. Since customizing, the gun has had only one mag through it, for
testing. All mechanical actions are precise and crisp! And wow, that sweet
trigger pull could probably help you win shooting matches with your friends!
This magnum .22 feels solid, stable, and secure in your hand! It feels so
good—you just want to go out and shoot the Hell out of something! Did I mention
the (extremely hard to find!) grips are gorgeous, solid Rosewood?

V. The photos
really do a pretty good job of depicting the overall condition. This AutoMag II
is really very nice and only has minor evidence of being handled, fired, slide
cycled, etc. The attention to detail is really something to behold, that one
actually can appreciate by just seeing the photos! Some parts are
polished, some are not, depending on what was intended.
VI. I know my
close-up photos sometimes bite me in the ass, but I really want people to see
what they’re buying! Hell, you wouldn’t see this much detail if you were
looking at one in a shop! I use intense lighting that can give some parts a
kind-of "grainy" texture—but, they don’t look that way with the naked
eye! Again, close-ups biting my butt! Also, there is some lint, microscopic
dust, and a few hairs (probably my shop-dog’s hairs) in the close-ups—they’re
not scratches, etc. And there may be a little discoloration in one or more
photos because I keep parts wiped down with a KleenBore silicone gun cloth.
This is a really beautiful gun!
VII. Photo 22
shows a .22wmr cartridge pushed into the muzzle till it stops—it’s tight! This
is a great, simple test to check barrel wear as the muzzle usually wears out
first. I’ve checked other guns where the cartridge pushed in damn near to the
neck!
VIII. When I take a
gun out of it’s box to photograph, I use extreme diligence in careful handling.
Also, I wipe all surfaces with a KleenBore silicone gun cloth. Most times when
I repack the gun/box, it’s much more protected from shipping jolts and moisture
than it came from the factory. Note: Any white stuff you see is Remington
Teflon dry spray. I really like it and have used it for years in place of oil.
Sure, I still apply oil and Wilson lithium grease in very select areas, but
those lubricants attract a lot of gunk and necessitate cleaning way more often
than the dry Teflon.
IX. Collecting
the AMT AutoMags is a great idea for any of us serious gun nuts. But, not only
that, they are awesome target shooters as well—especially with the six inch
barrels! These guns are hands-down, much more accurate than the PMR30s! And
nothing quite compares to the fun of shooting a rifle cartridge out of a
pistol! Many have called this model a flamethrower, for the spectacular 1 to
1.5 foot plume of fire that you see at night (your buddies will love it)!
X. Think about
this: If you’re wanting a .22mag semi auto—there is no other available all
stainless 22 mag semi-auto pistol, that has Rosewood grips, a six inch barrel, and
target sights! Nobody makes a gun like this today—there isn’t another one like
it on GunBroker—and only Harry W. Sanford ever did! This near-new, customized
AutoMag II, and the extra mags are a much better-than-average value! There are
only miniscule, ultra-slight imperfections. And although this gun is (barely)
used, I’m conservatively rating it between “Excellent” and “New, As New, or
Like New” (see our “Firearm Standards” link under the “Additional Terms of
Sale” tab above). The gun definitely leans toward “Like New”! Treat yourself to
this one—you won’t be disappointed!
XI. Note About
Consignors: I know most of you will just ignore this
like I’m talking to a wall, but it remains a fact—Consignors can be a fickle
bunch when it comes to selling their stuff. Hell, I’ve had them read my
(wonderful) descriptions and become re-sold on their items! At any time, if
there are no bids, the Consignors can tell me to raise prices or even
cancel the auctions! Believe me, I do this way more often than I’d like to.
However, as soon as there is a bid, the auctions can’t be stopped, and someone
(like you) is going to get that/this gun, etc.! So (if you haven’t guessed it)
the moral of this short-story is once you’ve made the decision to buy—don’t
wait until the last minute to bid. Now, if you’ve read this far, you know you
want it—so bid! Thanks.
