Good deal! But I'm trying to figure out what you mean by "slide clip".

105 Retainer, I think I saw it referred to as clip.

Ah, that explains it. That retainer design can be seen in Raven, Davis/Cobra, Bryco/Jennings/Jimenez, and Lorcin/Cobra pistols. I've found there are slight dimensional differences between the brands however.

Makes sense, all those parts would fall out if the retainer was missing.

Dang, I'd love to find a Raven -or any Saturday Night Special parts gun- locally.
All I've found recently have been at online auctions, and the $$ add up quick with shipping and FFL fees at my end.

Last week I was at the local FFL where I have donated part of of my income, owner comes out with it and says 25 bucks. I called him an ass and said ok,( I had said no gun for me today) cannot turn that down, and I said parts will cost more than 25..lol. He had 49.99 on it. I stopped in today to tell him gun is working, he said he was happy to get it off his hands. He said he probably paid nothing for it because it came with 10 he bought.

I have a Raven that my favorite LGS had taken in after it was discovered in an abandoned car, they asked $40, I said $25, we settled at $30, it has a lot of corrosion though. As part of an ongoing project I'm going to shoot it without cleaning or lubing it just to see how long it functions. I want to test Fudd theories about the inferiority of "those pot metal junk guns". It's a bit crunchy and even has some zinc rot going on.
