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!!!!

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!
