Getting The Young Folks Hooked...


Recommended Posts

QUOTE
Thank God for Westies. Thank God for KAR. How does anyone expect a normal young person to become interested much less an active participant in this very expensive hobby without them? Once they get hooked they can trade up on the appreciation their entry level gun is making.

 

MP43,

Semi-auto WH's sold for under $350 when they came out in 1975. They now fetch $700 for used samples. That is not the kind of resale appreciation that will allow the seller to purchase a full auto gun with the profits today, or any other day.

Phil, Let me know where you are in Ohio. I too am a worthless nut. Read Buckeye. I had no idea the Kahr was such a piece of C###. I almost baught a M1 version last month that a neighborhood cop had turned into a SBR. I went and looked at it. Gun looked great complete with pinned front sight. It was offered for $775.00 and I pay tax. Since Kahr now offers this rig for $1,350 I thought it to be a good deal.

Two days later I saw that he had reduced his price to $750.00. Gun was listed on non NFA section of SUBGUNS.con. I immediately called him and he told me he changed his mind and decided not to sell the gun. Go figure. Probably for the best. What really bothers me is the indecision of our local police officers. How do they operate on the job? The trigger pull was like a long bad antique revolver. I agree with you that poor quality firearms do more harm than good. I will not thank God for Kahrs any longer. With reference to my MP43. It is early fxo Sn. 25xx dated 1943. I do not shoot it. I have 5 boxes of original ammo at 15 rounds per box in the strippers. I am planning to reload for it and use self control and shoot it like a semiauto. I keep it because of its historical value. Did you see that one went for $19,000. I don't believe it. My gun is still in legal Dewat form and all I need is a barrel and I will send gun to Ohio Ord. for fix and pay the big tax. There is one on the market right now for $18,000. I believe these gun are $9,000 guns. What do you think?

Hank

Probably right Arthur, probably right. But with all this nit picking, I think you may have missed the point that I was trying to make. Sorry and shame on me, I didn't even think about semi auto WHs. What was your first auto? Mine was not a Rolls. I aint no lawyer sir and I don't try to talk or think like one. As someone stated earlier, "It really doesn't matter" and lets lighten up a bit. I'm out of here. Hank (The new kid just trying to fit in.)http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/mad.gif

MP43, don't worry about Arthur. I don't. He is one of those dinosaur types from the car club you were talking about. Hes about the only one like that on the board these days, and the rest of us are regular folks.

 

Stick around, I'm 29 and part of the younger crowd I guess.
