Grease Gunner Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Its at $15,600 with 24 hours to go.Not a great time to end an auction IMHO. Seller claims GI Bolt and Internals PK is extremely backed up soI dropped out I have no interest in the gun anymoreand dont know the seller https://www.gunbroker.com/item/786445249 Edited October 6, 2018 by Grease Gunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 If the gun runs-- why would it need a gunsmith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 I know the seller. He's a Wheeler dealer. Does a lot with post samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Its worth $17,000-18,000 Sounds like a guarantee to run to me. Most dealer sellers are honorable and will fix a poor running gun. Especially if advertised to run Auction has 1 more day. Most auctions end Sunday night Must be the best day and time Id be shocked if it ends at $15,000 Hed be giving it away You own so many good Thompsons Already. Why you looking at a WH?

Grease Gunner Posted October 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) I was caught up in the auction hopin to be at 14 or less.From talking to TD. , a west hurley receiver can possibly be out of spec. He said these were 400 or 500 bucks when they were madeso there wasnt a lot of quality control . Continuous shooting could damage the receiver.Thats why PK was charging in the 3k range and at one point had a 3 year wait. and I think its like 5 years now Edited October 6, 2018 by Grease Gunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 I know westies that have had 10's of thousands of rounds thru them with o issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) After owning a problem gun (not myThompson ) and having 17 months of gunsmith time and counting I would never buy another gun with a bad rep Not when $5,000 more gets you a ww 2 gun I would sell the gun rather than wait 3-5 years for a smith Too many good guns out there Edited October 7, 2018 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 There's also more than one Smith. I've fixed a few westies myself. Metal and dimensions...... I be happy to look at anyone's west Hurley gun. It won't be $5,000. Nor will it be 3 yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Ploughboy Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) As it sold for $15,676.00, no wonder there's been one sitting at $18,500 on the Sturm NFA board for months; and that seller has turned down a $16,000 offer.

TSMGguy Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Good looking gun. The rear sight appears to be a repro, and the bolt is a late war blued spare. The gun runs or it doesn't, and the ad says it does. I've had no problems with my WH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMGunslinger Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 This was actually a one owner gun. I know because I as the one who got it from the old man, went through it, and sent it to Jonathan since I don't enjoy the song and dance of gunbroker.Funny thing is the gun actually came from a guy who was one of the biggest photographers for Playboy for 20+ years. Whole house was framed magazine covers he did and all the girls he shot. Even had nude spreads of all the MG's he had with the girls. For the life of me idk why I didn't get copies of all of them. It was pretty cool though and he was savvy collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLUTAH Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Looks to me like like prices are creeping down, and not a lot of activity in the class 3 market lately.Could have something to do with the long wait for tax stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
