How bad does the "made in Brazil" stamp on the frame just above the trigger affect the price of a GI? Ive learned enough on here to know that all GI's are made in Brazil. But alot of the pictures I see on GB and here dont have it stamp in plain sight.

Im pretty sure I got a good deal on mine. Now I just have to wait a couple weeks for these stupid "pistol purchase permits" to come in before I can get pics up.

I would not worry about it.  I have an SA Loaded I rebuilt that is stamped Brazil but it is a fine pistol.

Well good then. I don't know why they had it priced so low? I got it for $260 with a $50 credit so $210 out the door. It looks pretty close to new it couldn't of had more than 100 rounds through it. I'll put pics up as soon as I can.

I'm planing a Wilson trigger, hammer, and grips kinda like on the trp. But who knows I'll have to do some more reading.

All Springer GI's are made in Brazil.  Non-issue.

Since all the Springfield GI's are stamped BRAZIL, there is no affect on prices.

Was is a consignment pistol?  That's a very low price.  I hope it wasn't a bubba project gone bad.

Nope it wasn't a consingment. It was at a pawn shop. It looks like All the ones I've seen on GB. Just looking around the firing pin area and barrel it doesn't show any wear

Did it come with a barrel? Jeez that's low. I thought I stole my LNIB Mil Spec for $525 shipped. Quality on Brazilian Springfields is generally good. My trigger pull was sucky (probably 8lbs), so I installed a Cylinder & Slide 4.5lb matched hammer set. Now the trigger pull is almost as nice as my Desert Warrior.

Pics when you get it. Congrats.

If no problems with the gun you stole it for that price. I troll all local pawn shops for those deals and have never seen something that low. Good deal I hope for you.

I just picked up a nib SA Milspec SS for 600 bills.
