I have a couple of Mac 10's with silencers (all papered) but buying one of those is not luck, I think it was a way of putting off my dream purchase!
Anybody want two MAC's for a TSMG?
Anybody?

The other thing is if WH and M1/M1A1's are bringing 10-12 and 12-14 respectively, then a Savage 1928 IMHO is worth at least 18-20K. Where does that leave Colts? When is the last time you saw a few Colt 21/28's come across Sturm or Subguns??? It seems these days its "get what you can get NOW and pray that what you want comes up for sale in the next little bit." Accessories are no different...
Next year your going to be paying 20K for a 1928 Savage and you will consider yourself LUCKY you got it.
That is the nature of the business.

This guy has had this gun up for auction at least twice, maybe 3 times in the last 2 months with no takers.

And while it may be more than most are ready to spend in today's market, I'm sure they'll be considered a steal in a year or two...

N-123,
It took me about 5 months of market watching to find the Savage I bought. Then it was on the sturmgewehr board for three days before I talked myself into spending more than I wanted to (and obviously more than anyone else did at the time - almost two years ago).
Today, maybe word of mouth may be the best bet.
You have made a critical decision - you know what you want. That alone makes your search somewhat easier. The buyer who wants "a Thompson" does not really know what they want.
Good luck!

Yes, I think that's the essence of it. Maybe we need to coin a new term to describe this market: Thompson Constipation ![]() |
phil that sounds all plugged up.it's more like "Thompson Envy"
but i always say let's not hoard.one or two is enough.....this way in sharing more collector's get to enjoy.....wink!! you can say you read that here first.......take care,ron
