Title: Advise on used EAA purchase
Post by: MHWASH on January 31 2014 10:34:51 AM MST
Found this site while searching the EAA.

I heard about possible problems with the EAA 10mm for sometime now, but still confused. I've read about the rounded vs square slides, and I'm just not sure which this is. Also there seems to be a difference between newer and older as far a quality. Weve already agreed on a price of $350, but I have only seen pictures of the gun.

Doesn't look to be a rounded slide.  Those are the older type mags with shiny sides and probably red follower. It would be decent with some upgraded K10 magazines.

   If you go used that forfeits the warranty. Should you purchase a new Match you get a lifetime warranty and an upgrade for $250.

Thanks,

I was not looking for a Witness, this just came up locally, and I've always been curious about them.

We'll I picked up the Witness. It's in pretty good shape, looks like it been packed more than shot. The previous owner said he had no troubles with the magazine that came with it. I've ran one magazine full through it myself, too damn cold, and had one failure to feed.

I'll get a Mec Gar mag and a new recoil spring coming.
