For Sale: Hammerli 120 and other FPs

[_J_]

Two somewhat unusual Hammerli 120-1 if anyone is interested in appearance differences, and one more typical version. For one, the lettering is factory-inlaid in white paint. Otherwise a typical German origin Hammerli 120 (as were >99.9% of the 120 models). Images on request. Can be provided with a 120 box, not SN matched.

$900 due to the unusual finishing for the gun. Otherwise, nothing exceptional. Some finish wear at the front sight holder/muzzle clamp, but otherwise excellent condition. Can be discounted if purchased with other items for sale. Otherwise, please consider the price not adjustable.

The other is much more unusual. Made in Switzerland (and so marked), approx 3.2x the above price. Again, nothing special about that gun, other than where it was made. For the "collector" of oddities and rarities or "cabinet of curiosities", can be purchased as a cosmetic options set.

Testable on site in NH if desired.

If any questions, lower offers to be made, or if pictures desired, please email directly rather than posting comments, so this ad can be deleted later.

Out of interest is there supporting documentation showing the white inlay was done by the factory? I'm just curious as this is sometimes done by owners to highlight the markings.

I'm merely interested in why such a normally trivial feature, such as white paint, in the markings is so significant to the sale.

Your response doesn't address this which makes me curious. If it's supported by say a letter from the factory, why not say so? Otherwise why draw attention?

I bought a Hammerli 120 the seller 6-7? years ago. The transaction was smooth and the gun was received as advertised.

I have purchased several guns now from _J_, and I can say that he knows his firearms, he describes them accurately, he prices them fairly, and he communicates well throughout the process.

I probably spend more on guns than I should, but that's my problem, not his.

'You and me both, brother' ...

Buying ... umm, 'stuff' ... not only I don't need, but likely ever even use...

What to 'let go' ... but they're all so pretty ... and selling stuff is way more work then buying.

A few weeks +++ I'm planning on being there... you'll likely recognize a change in the odor of the neighborhood...

Burger/beer place at Marsh still there? On my dime...

My financial advisor just 'advised' me what my 5k in Nvidia is now worth...

For those interested in other FPs, a 3-version set of Pfuff, pair of slightly different Vostok Baikal Mц-55-1 (MC-55-1, sometimes written as MU-55-1), pair of Steyr FP-1 (different OEM grips, counterweight), and pair of late production Finnmasters, and an Arminius model 2 also are available. The pairs and sets preferably would be sold as sets.

Please email directly rather than using PMs or adding a quick response.

A last 10" barrel to convert the GSP to a free pistol-like gun is available.

_J_ , do you have any grips for a TOZ 35 ? I bought a TOZ free pistol with the blocks of wood and need some grips. Because I'm a terrible wood carver I wouldn't want to destroy these beautiful walnut blocks.
Thanks, Stan

The only extra FP grips I have are included with the set of the Steyr FP-1.

For the TOZ, generally Hofmann made the best grips, but Nill was second best. Rink and Morini also are good, but differ in finger and palm geometries a bit from Nill (and OEM). Not sure if there are other sources still for wood grips. There are a number of US based Nill dealers now that don't charge extra for shipping, but don't know if they have or will order the TOZ grips without shipping charge.

Another option is a 3-D printed plastic grip, such as from https://www.precisiontargetpistolgrips.com/. Once the printer-generated grip has been trimmed for perfect fit (if that is needed), this can be used as a model for the cutting of the wood grip, with less skill required than doing it free hand without a model. A local woodworking shop might also have a duplicating "pantograph) to copy the 3-d printed grip to the wood blank fur cutouts, if unable to do it freehand.

There is enough variability between the TOZ guns, that it might be a useful idea to test the gun for function and accuracy before investing in a grip. While many have a very high opinion of the TOZ, that is not universally the case, and there had been significant variability in the older guns before the current ones appeared on the market.

Thank you _J_ for the info.
