philasteen Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Guys, FWIW Russ Jones has what he describes as a NIB, matching Colt L drum with 11xx serial number for sale for $5500. http://www.sturmgewehr.com/webBBS/nfa4sale....cgi?read=65964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpanda4 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Wow, I must be out of date again. For a mere $300 more you can buy his matching # C drum. What is the going prices for Cold drums? How about WWII drums? I have been thinking $600 - 1500 depending on condition. Any better input would be appreciated!

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 It doesn't say NIB in the ad. Did you call him for that extra detail? Seems odd to leave those three letters out of the ad. This guy is not known for his Thompson accessory discounts. Why is he all of sudden comparatively cheap on the price of a "NIB" matching # Colt C drum? Why did he leave out the price for the Colt matching # L drum?

philasteen Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I called him. The "L" is NIB or LNIB. The "C" has some issues, including a blued rotor and may have been refinished. Both have matching numbers front & back. Again, take it FWIW - YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Ploughboy Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 GP4 Mike, WWII L drums are $400 at Sportsmans Guide - if they ever ship. Yes, the big "if". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijive Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 QUOTE (Merry Ploughboy @ Nov 3 2005, 07:25 PM) WWII L drums are $400 at Sportsmans Guide - if they ever ship. Yes, the big "if". No, not if they ever ship, if they are allowed to ship. I don't understand this constant suspicion of Sportsmans Guide. They are only allowed to import if the Government approves it. Sportsmans Guide didn't devise a scam to profit from the interest on the advance sales. No one's credit cards have been charged for these drums. Your card will be charged when they ship the goods. It seems pretty simple to me, what is so hard to understand about this? I guess it doesn't fit into the gunshop rumor mill, like the reproduction drums with fake manufacturing markings sitting over in Europe. It seems that some people will believe anything.

96lt1ss Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I still want to add a C-Drum to my collection but can't justify spending big money to do it. What are West Hurly 100 rounders going for these days? Anyone looking to get rid of one or have a source for them, obviously a W/H would need to go to Merle to work right but I can deal with that later.

Merry Ploughboy Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 gijive, I said "if they ever ship". Nowhere did I indicate that the cause of the failure to ship was a scam by SG. As you say, the "if" is from import issues. I thought that was a given based on all of the discussion received previously. MP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Sergeant Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 While it might be true that no CC's have been charged for the unshipped drums but how many people opted to join their "Buyer's Club" at $29.99? At a savings of $40 per drum it's a good deal "if" they ship. The $29.99 was charged at the time the order was placed. They charged me and then told me they can't ship the drums to Ohio. I eventually got my money back. Scam? I doubt it but they have your $29.99 whether they ship or not. IMHO Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere did I indicate that the cause of the failure to ship was a scam by SG. Merry Ploughboy, I misinterpreted your post, I stand corrected. First Sergeant, As far as the Buyer's Club fee goes that applies to any merchandise they offer, so when you signed up for the discount price when you ordered the drum(s) it would remain in effect whether they shipped the drum to Ohio or not. I've had good luck and good customer service from Sportsmans Guide, so I guess I look at their special offers and merchandise differently than others that are more skeptical. They won't ship certain merchandise to where I live either, but I hold the politicians that enact the restrictive laws and local ordnances accountable for that, not Sportsmans Guide.

First Sergeant Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 gijive, I've had pretty good customer service from the Guide and was a member for several years. This arbitrary no ship policy of thiers kinda left a bad taste so I haven't renewed. I know of a few people who signed up merely for the discounts on the drums. If they don;t ship those and they choose not to order anything else from them, they're still out the membership fee. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
