That's a nice haul. All you need is a 317 and you have a complete set. Well minus the smooth bore BB shooting Benji's

$85 for the three. The 312 does not hold air  ---  yet.  I have some work to do on them.

Bravo!
I'd be willing to guess by the straight bolt and shape of the safety that 312 doesn't have serial numbers... (early)
I bet you could get your money back by selling any one of them... IF you were so inclined.
Me, I'd keep all 3 and say I got them for less than $30 each.  ;)

I'd probably keep the 342 because I like the looks of the stock. It'd prolly end up with a rattle can epoxy satin black finish on the brass and become one of the favorite shooters.

Then I might flip the other two.

Well Heck, if it is turning this direction...
I'd like the 347 to help round out the herd.

Well, a week later and they look a little different. The 312 had too many minuses so I have it listed on Ebay as parts.
The 342, then the 347

Nice find and a good price. Good selection too.
Interesting how the front sight location and mounting evolved  with the 3 you have.
Wonder if it was a collector or someone who bought a new one every 20 years or so?
