mgvince Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I'm there now. Not much Thompson stuff. Some 20 and 30 round mags several mag pouches. All pretty high priced. A couple nice dummy/parts kit guns. But want too much money. I did get a pretty nice Bridgeport L drum for $450. No parts. Three " Halftrack" cases. In fair condition with broken zippers. Not much else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron_brock Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Wow only four guys to guard CC? We had a much large security detail in Michigan! Not going to be that same with Sandy to poke at CC a little. Ill see you guys at the show. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoscoeTurner Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Setup with my usual group this morning. The only items of interest I found today in the few opportunities I had to walk around were a couple of British water/fuel cans to use with my Vickers. Seems for the most part it is just the same old stuff I see on the tables year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full auto 45 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 We are set up about the middle of the room all the way toward the back by the cafeterias. We are on the end of the row. I don't know the number of the row. Send me a PM with your number and I'll text you when I get in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgvince Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Just looked at Colt 1921A. Number 376. Good condition wants $40,000 for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpanda4 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 PICS!!! That actually does not seem too bad in today's world, but of course without any further description I would not venture an opinion beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt Chopper Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 #376 I was informed by the owner, is registered as a Charlie Erb gun, kind of changes things, IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgvince Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Yeah, said it was registered in '86. Nothing appeared to be done to the gun. Maybe some "funky" way to get it registered.Couldn't find you guys today. Edited February 24, 2018 by mgvince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 We are in the gunshow side. Row K4. Stop by and say howdy, remember to not look CC directly in the eyes. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Agree with Mike - pictures please. I would also ask to look at the current ATF Form. I would be surprised if the form is not with the gun at the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt Chopper Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Received a message from Charlie Erb through a mutual friend, according to Erb, #376 is a reweld he put back together from a cut up parts kit and amnesty registered. I have no dog in this fight, but future buyers should be aware, as it was not represented in this manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron_brock Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Ouch, a $40k gun it is not. Maybe David can add the info about 376 in the pinned section since Gordons book does not mention the reactivation Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron_brock Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Paperwork should tell the story.Yeah youre right, no point in keeping Gordons records up to date. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Paperwork says manufacturer is Charlie Erb.Not Colt. That should be the big sign. I went back to get photos of the gun and paperwork and POOF! The gun was gone and so were the people at the table. I wanted to hang around, but had to get back to the gun show to a waiting customer.

Sandman1957 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Could you see where it had been rewelded? Perhaps it was only claimed to have been re-welded. Agree pin this under the Colt Numbers. It will surface one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 MAYBE not a reweld. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt Chopper Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Per Charlie Erb, he rewelded the receiver. I did notice 2 spots on the left side of the receiver, right behind the magwell, that are likely porosity. Clearly not just a machinegun that fell off the registry and Erb amnesty registered it. The owner wanted no part of any conversation regarding "Dewat or Rewat." Sad to say, but a novice will likely end up with it under the belief he has a very nice 3-digit gun.

Sandman1957 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Well still good news. A Colt Reweld low SN. Assuming he used the same SN that was on the gun. We can also update Gordons records to reflect, a cut parts kit that was rewelded by Charlie ERB and registered in 1986. Hope prospective buyers know how to inspect it, before they lay out the asking price. Edited February 26, 2018 by Sandman1957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
