96lt1ss Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Is that the same one listed on Gunbroker ? Gunbroker 1921 Ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Yeah, it's the same TSMG. I have never seen an ad for a Colt TSMG that had to stipulate that it was used. The price would be more in keeping with what the market is if the accessories, i.e. drums, were at least Colt 1, 2, or 3 versions. Apparently there was a Lend Lease Colt TSMG, with a combination of Savage/AO parts, at the SAR show for..........$45K!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Jr Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 QUOTE Apparently there was a Lend Lease Colt TSMG, with a combination of Savage/AO parts, at the SAR show for..........$45K!!!! That is outrageous!!!! After all the gun never left the country anyway and with junky old useless Savage/AO parts it couldn't be worth a cent over $25,000.00 BOY! Things have gone crazy! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif (did you not go to the SAR this year Arthur?)
