rjsleeper Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 I have the chance to buy a C drum for about $3800. The front has some pitting and the back is speckled with light pitting. I'm planning to go to the SAR show in Phoenix in December. Am I likely to find a better "deal" or should I take this one? All opinions wellcome. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 rjsleeper, IMHO that price is a little high. Do you know if it is a Colt original or some other manufacturer? If it is a Colt original, something closer to $3,000 is more reasonable (considering the pitting). Can you post a photo? Regards, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjsleeper Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Walter, it is an original Colt C drum with mismatched serial numbers. Are C drums often available for sale at the larger shows such as the SAR show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 rjsleeper, I have not been to the SAR show, but as I understand it, they are becoming quite rare everywhere. Maybe you can negotiate a fairer price from this seller. It could be a while before you see one for sale. I still think the price is a bit high, though. Good luck, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkr Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Drum sold for $3800 soon after posted. I guess the bottom line is mismatched C drums are worth $3500-4000. That makes 2 sold at that price in the last 3 weeksright after they were posted for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
