MCarter788

That's really worth $10K, 20 yrs. and free room and board!!!!! No excuse for stupidity! These guns need to be cleaned from the street with another well-announced amnesty of a reasonable duration. They make criminals out of otherwise mostly law abiding citizens---still no excuse for being stupid or otherwise! The law is the law and must be obeyed

Had a chance at one of the 9 original untouched Russians in Del Rio,TX in 1974 for $1600.00! Passed as thought it was too high with no provenance----so stupid! Thanks for your insight and knowledge on the subject. Know of a Russian (type ?) in Arizona, but the owner does not intend on selling at any price---not sure I could afford if made available but expect 6 figures if with provenance. Looking for a 30 or 40 round mag (aircraft use at the time) for a Colt 1918 or 1919 BAR----any suggestions appreciated.

Can anyone shed any light on how many 30 and/or 40 round mags were made for the 1918's, etc. for use in aircraft?

Yes, the dealer sold for $60,000.00 and did pay $55.000.00 (as per ad in Western web page). Sorry for the mistake in verbage, should have said "from" instead of "to"! A very nice, well represented piece with docs. though. Prices keep escalating-----wonder what a true Russian type 2 bring-back would go for?

Just saw one exactly like the one you are showing with confirmed nuances and article in April 2002 in Small Arms Review. Brought $60,000.00 to dealer in Conn. (Sgt. Foster's LLC: Matt Foster, USMC, ret.) Good luck as they are hard to find in good condition, so head spacing needs verifying before running her.
