AMT Baby Auto Mag
Got a new tack driver from 1985, copy of the Ruger Mark II. How much oil or grease do they like? Do aftermarket Ruger parts fit? I just took over a hundred parts out of this thing, cleaned, and lightly oiled everything. Hasn't seen much use or cleaning, the casting marks on the rib could be cleaned up, but I like it so far. Thanks for advise, Steve

I put a Ruger Mark II magazine spring in the AMT mag. AMT spring was so week that it wouldn't push follower up high enough for the bolt to hold open on the last shot.

Only shot it once so far to test after I put it back together, hell the over travel screw has never even been adjusted yet. It was more accurate than I could imagine, no failures of any kind with CCI mini mags. I'm putting a stainless 8.5 inch bull barrel on my Buckmark, same length as the AMT. Let's see if it can shoot that tight of groups

I havn't even had it a week and I'm trying not to get too attached, but until I find something that shoots better, I'm keeping it. I don't believe in safe queens, so it might have to go. No room in safe for something that I shouldn't shoot! Thanks again for the input, Steve

I didn't know that gun was worth that much. I could have one given to me right now if I wanted (but there is no way I would sell it, due to sentimental value). It is probably still in the original box. The other 1911 stainless AMT 45's have their boxes, and I think there is a 25acp AMT as well, in the same collection.
I had heard that AMT's were hit and miss as far as quality. I have shot 3 AMT 1911 45's and at least two of them have rear sights that will not stay adjusted. One of the three is a longslide if I remember correctly. Are the AMT 1911's anywhere near the price of the baby automag?

My grandfather has the 22 AMT. I don't think he used it much. I didn't ask for it yet since I have a ruger MkIII Hunter. I told him he should give it to my brother since he doesn't have a 22lr. I didn't realize it was worth 3x my ruger. Oh well, my bro should still have it as long as he takes great care of it. My dad has a Hi Standard 22lr. I have heard that they are well liked, but I don't think they fetch the same kind of money.

I think I was wrong about my grandfather's 22 amt. I saw it a while back. It is a lightning version. A google search showed that the 22 automag is an upgraded/modified version of the lightning. It seems that the lightning is sought after as well, but I don't have any first hand knowledge about them.
