At the risk of offending the Admin/mods, I am posting a new thread on the Hardballer. I have looked through the 40+ threads on this subject, have found 3 closed threads, and decided to open a new one.I have owned a used AMT Hardballer since 1992, bought from a private seller at a gun show (a security guard who, after the purchase, informed me that it was a 'dangerous, defective gun') for $150.

I bought one new in 1984 for $199. You got a nice price as I continue to see them at gunshows, usually highly modified, for $500 plus. Never actually tried to buy one as you might negotiate the price down. Mine is all original except for the Pachmayr grips.
The original grips smelled really 'rubbery'. Oddly enough I just found them a few months ago and they had outgassed so I put them back on the pistol. Need to take another picture with them on there.I have only put 3-4K rounds through mine over the years. Of course 230gr FMJ, 230gr cast lead round nose, 200gr cast SWC, and 230gr JHP. It is just not that accurate of a pistol and I don't want to start changing parts. That is why I am a 'shooty collector'.Anyway, like I said, bought new in 84 the S/N is B24xxx from Covina, CA. Now was that 1982 or 1983 production?
