Ok, just got back from the goat rodeo called Knob Creek. I didn't relize they gave crack to all the dealers down there to get the day started!? I know, they know that people want machine guns and other types of assault weapons,but for the love of God do they have to bend you over and stick up so far your tonsiles hurt? Ok, I'm off my little rant. No I'm not! But $10k for a Freakin' "C" drum proto-type?! No wonder he's had it for,quote, "several years."
Now for the other requests on prices.
Colt 1921AC $14,500 best deal I saw there. 90%
Colt 1921 $16,500 not bad 90%+
Colt 1921AC $16,500 90%+
WH 1928 good shape (85-90%) $8000
1928 Savage gun $15,500 (60-70% my opinion)
WH "C" drum $1350 NIB (which means it probably doesn't run)
2-WH "L" drums $650 ea. Looks used but no dents or dings.
WH "L" drum $950
Crosby "L" drum $1450 -smokes crack daily
Seymore "L" drum $1350-same smoker
parts ran all over the board from $1.00 for a spring to $585 for a 1928 lower w/o wood. Not in bad shape.
M1A1 parts guns w/dummy reciever, $850-$950
There was many more parts I didn't even ask for the price when I found what other prices were going for. Like a WH actuator for $285. It looked like bad pot metal molded to look like something it shouldn't be.
But other than that the shoot was a hoot! They blew up a old RV in the late afternoon shoot. It went in a ball of fire in a second.
I also meet Greg Fox the guy from Florida who is making some replica cases for the 1928 models. He has both the "INDIANA" & the POLICE/FBI style cases available. But is running out of parts. The case is VERY well built. I will order mine when he gets back. He had both styles there for me to inspect and they look very very good. 1st class all the way. I would highly recommend one if you want one.
Ok now I'm over my rants and raves, so let's get back to reality now. Naaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Oh almost forgot. First Sergeant, it was a pleasure to meet you and talk with you for the time. Hope to see you at the next TCA meeting/show. Find out about those items we talked about and let me know,I'd be interested in one!
Several other types of FA guns were all over the boards also. AC556's were $3800-$4500. M16's ranged from $8000-$12,000. BAR's $14,500-$19,500. Now all the guns I price and have told here were transferable, not the post-sample or pre-sample guns that "most" people cannot have. Those I walk on by. So how about $36,000 for a post sample m60?
