Current Value---New Buyer


Recommended Posts

I have a chance to buy a Ingram Model 6 [military configuration-horizontal foregrip]. Gun looks to be in very nice shape with nice blueing and nice wood. Comes with 4 mags but i do not know how to tell if they are original. Any thing I should be sure to look for or be aware of? How rare are they and how desirable are they? I have several other MGs including Colt Thompsons and this Ingram design looks a little crude. The big question is, what are they worth? Thanks for any help.

Do you have the book "The Mac Man"? It is the best reference on the Ingram M6 models.

Does it include the bayonet? It screws inside the handguard.

Hi, There is likely a premium for the Military model as the Police model seems to be common. In 2013, I picked up several Police models (condition issues, refinished blue or refinished park) in the mid 3's with mags. I thought I got a good deal but as mentioned these are more shooter grade guns. I see asking prices much higher but I'm not sure if I've seen much over 6 for nicer ones.

 

A bit crude - yep. The spring for the trigger appears to react on the stock, maybe not the best mag design (about square shape, I like it better than the Reising mag). Not a Thompson by any means but it doesn't crash the scale like a Thompson either. It is a nice light gun (if that is a good thing for a 45 subbie).

 

My experience anyway,

 

In the end, buy what you like/enjoy. Life is short and you can't take it with you.

 

Good Luck,

Keith,

 

How do these guns run? Are they reliable?

I don't have any personal experience with the M6. But they have a good reputation for reliability. They have history with police and prison guards. Some guns come with original cases. The down side is that parts and magazines are hard to find.

See the M6 in the pic?

The good ones are being fairly consistently listed between $6K to $7K in the last 2 years, but I don't know the actual sale prices. Mine is a nice, early one, featured in the Mac Man book, and I paid $5795 for it in late 2009 with 2 magazines.

 

Over the years, M6's have very slowly appreciated in value. They are pretty reliable, and expensive magazines are the main issue. Very fun to shoot...

One thing that strikes me is it looks like the ejection is out the top rather than the side. I had a post some time ago about being left handed, and looking for left handed friendly SMG's. The Beretta 38/42 was an example (left side ejection). Nice gun. How about the Ingram Model 6 in terms of the ejection?
