This Maxim 08/15 parts set includes hard to find original parts such as the lock extractor guide panels which rivet to the inside of the receiver plates, steam port cover and drum hanger. Also the numerous small parts of the trigger, trigger spring, and water fill cap which retains the wooden thumbpieces (almost never found intact). The parts in this set are not all matching, but they more than make up for this in condition and scarcity to find on the loose. CONDITION: Metal components vary in condition, but for the most part exhibit some areas of wear and retain pleasant amounts of their blue finishes. Barreled action's bore is bright and retains well-defined rifling throughout. Extra barrel's bore is dark, but retains good rifling throughout. Buttstock shows scattered handling marks and a few gouges. Pistol grip has split and no longer retains a fair portion of the left side. Drum shows oxidation but is functional. This is a desirable and sought after assortment of parts and components, which are a dream come true for the discerning Maxim collector and shooting enthusiast. With the addition of a registered sideplate, accompanied by a few common parts, this parts kit could make for a fine Maxim, that includes some valuable spare components. -MLW-
