Guys, I am only the owner of a semi-auto right now, but would like to try to get into the entry level of the full auto club...legally of course! And I am interested how much a post WWII full auto might run me, low and high side today.

Thanks.

a post go's for between 800.00 to 1,500.00 if you can find one anymore,ohio ord had some of the last 28's and m1a1's,i have not talked to bob in a week,and did not ask if he had anymore left.....

but probably not,since i think he removed them about six months ago or longer from his ad's.............good luck in the search.............ron

Uh Ron, think your prices are in the post 86 sample range, not post WWII transferable range.

Can you say oxymoron? "cheapest full auto Thompson" Nothing is cheap... Probably 8K but keep your eyes open and some cheaper buys are out there... One cavet though, you need to try and get locked in now as prices will continue to spiral upwards until supply catches demand.....

Just got off the phone with a buddy, he just sold his 1921 Colt for 25K.

He has a Guide lamp M3 pre-86 sample for $7400.00 if anyone is up for it.

Bob,
Was that $25K for the gun alone, or with accessories? Could you estimate the condition also?

See the FAQ. Entry level will be in the 8k range, as others have said. Some lucky dawgs get them for 4k, but far and few between......

Arthur, it was rated at 93-95%, wood perfect, and no accessories.

[Arthur Fliegenheimer]

Bob,
That is what I thought. It seems the $25K figure, even outside of an auction, is easily recognized for a nice Colt. It may be that an increase of $5K to $7K over the last 10 months or so is where the Colt TSMG is at. Naturally, all Class III has followed suit to some degree or another.
