darrylta Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) Hello, I've come across a M6 and I'm having thoughts of buying it. How do the M6's compare in quality to the other tube guns, as in Sten's, Reising's and M3's etc. It seems I have an affinity for finned barreled MG's. Thanks for the input.

dalbert Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 darrylta, There was a really good deal on an M6 on Sturm recently. I think it was $4K, which is the lowest I've seen in many years. There's not an issue with quality. The tube is probably a bit thinner than a Reising, and maybe about the same as a Sten. I really like the semi to full auto trigger pull feature. It's also C&R. Go for it! David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrylta Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 David, The one I found asking price is more than that but, also includes a Fed. Labs case and (2) mags. Do you have a ballpark figure on value of the case, I've seen that original mags go for around $225 per. I've contacted the seller for more detailed photos. I'll post with info if I buy it.

darrylta Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 What is the availability of spare parts for the Police M6? I don't remember seeing much if any. I'm getting closer to making the purchase, I'll post the seller's photos to get a some opinions. He did say that he had never dismantled the gun when I asked about the internals condition.

darrylta Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) I received some photos of the Fed Labs case from the seller. It appears to be original, but the gun layout is backwards and it has an added 3rd mag or ammo box compartment. Has any one seen this before? Could it have been an option on the case?

If one were available in very good condition, I would probably be a candidate to pay up to $1K for it. Very few hardcases were made, and I believe they were alll the same. That does not mean that someone might have added a magazine compartment, but I do know that the original manufacturer would not have been involved in any modification to the cases. One supplier has Model 6 mags for $175 each. I do not know of a supply of spare parts. It's a good gun, and getting one with a hardcase is a plus.

darrylta Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 David, After seeing that the case had been modified and relined, I offered the seller $400 less than his asking price. The case and gun were advertised to both be in excellent condition. He balked at my offer, so it looks the buy is aborted. There's always more fish in the sea.
