Sgt Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Great information. I may have missed this, but I assume these are already auctioned off, correct? None of my software would open the price list file. Do you know what software that takes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full auto 45 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I wonder where some of those are now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimFromFL Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 It would be neat if each item came with a documented history of what movies they were used in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 The history was too much work for the folks that rented them. The value was based on the transferability only. See LMO's web site for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Is the bottom right M1 a early prototype with a rounded rear sight guard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Mills Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Barry: I don't think so. The one pictured in Frank's book is shorter from front to back. The one in the Ellis pic does look strange. Good eye there, kid (maybe you're not a kid). Hey, maybe they filed it off to make it shoot straighter...wink! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijive Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 QUOTE (Barry @ Jan 4 2006, 06:26 PM)Is the bottom right M1 a early prototype with a rounded rear sight guard ? I don't believe so. It appears to be a standard protected sight. The angle of the picture just makes it appear rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Crow Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Sgt. The site states that they had sold excess, and that the list can be opened using MS Excel. Dang, that's a lot of firearms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt1928 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/banghead.gif I could knock myself for not buying some more Thompsons in the mid-80's when I had the chance. I ended up buying a couple of MP5's when I didn't know any better because I thought the movie " Die Hard " was cool with all those MP5's blazing away. It kinda sucks now since my interest has been the WWII genre: Thompsons, BARs, etc. that these items will be getting more and more pricey. Looking at those ELLIS / LMOLLC pictures makes me cry!!! Should I get another mortgage to fund my hobby? I wished Santa Claus could have been nice to me! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
