  1. ATF will show up unannounced and go through your books and guns. If you’ve done nothing wrong- you’ve got nothing to hide. Guy showed up in a ford bronco. Tee shirt and long hair. Said im with the atf. Sure he had an ID. But you can make one yourself in minutes. Spent 3-4 hours. Pulling every gun out of my business safe. Looked at every form and log book. Was very nice and worked well with me. A scary process but went well. if your not willing to open your gun safe to a atf agent then skip it. I buy and sell weekly. All my profits goes into more guns. It’s a way to pay for your gun hobby. Presamples are 50% on average. But not not always. Post samples are typically $1500-6500 for most guns. Many posties are rewelded junk that falls apart or shoots poorly. Things amateurs threw together
  2. I’ve owned 2 mp30’s. I’ve had 16+ mags and have never had a mag feeding issue with the longer mags. They run perfectly with 9mm Luger. If you’ve got a gun that won’t run 9mm Luger out of the long mags it may mean you have a chamber issue. Most/all of these are dewats and everyone’s got chambers that were redone by different smiths. Both of mine do not have perfect looking Chambers but still run 100%. convert to 9mm Luger
  3. Serial number c20450 From what I found its the 450th carbon steel one made? can anyone tell me what i have? an approx. value? i didnt pay a lot for it and wasnt sure its value. I was thinking because it may be an older version that it could have some value. I plan to shoot it, see if i like it. If not ill resell and see if i can make a few bucks.
  4. I would not change any springs if it runs as is You can change the springs yourself Mine broke titanium firing pins. The best fix if your gun has issues is the inertia firing pin. Something you can do yourself easily
  5. Both the buyer and seller need to sign. Plus seller needs to send fingerprints. Wonder how 2 parties will work on one form. What about sending a copy to cleo
  6. Gun smiths are booked out 1-2 years for a reason. Lots of Nfa guns dont run well Bwe was booked 1.5 years and almost all he did was Uzis. He made a hobby job out of fixing vector and group uzis and never ran out of ones to fix.
  7. Maybe you got lucky. You never hear of a imi gun that cracked the back plate. Bwe told me that GI had a bad welder and theres a batch that crack. A smith held up a straight edge across a vector and you could see how warped it was. Some run fine, maybe not warped as bad.
  8. All vectors are out of spec and warped. Many dont run well. You may get one that runs great or a pos. My group Uzi went to 4 smiths and never ran correctly. My back plate cracked. Every smith said the previous smith did the trunion alignment wrong. And each time I waited 10 Months to get it back it ran worse than 10 months before . I finally gave up and sold it for junk gun price. I have a imi rr now. What I like about a semi imi conversion is at least the receiver is true and in spec. Anything else can be fixed more easily. Of the 5 vectors Ive shot or seen shot only 1 ran without an occasional jam. My Wilson imi runs flawless. Best advice. Make sure you get a function guarantee on it. Shoot 300+ rounds through it and if it has issues get it fixed. Im a big fan of Wilson guns. Ive yet to hear of any of his conversions that dont run perfectly. I own a few and seek them outb
  9. My paratrooper Bm59 was a decent 15 yard gun. You could mag dump and not miss from the shoulder. On a bipod you could hit anything at Will Id guess up to 50-74 yards. My range only goes to 35 yards so I dont know. Ive struggled to get a Hk51 to run in full auto. When it did run it was harder to control than the Bm59 but I could still mag dump at 15 yards. You need to lean even harder with it. Ive heard the Fal is a bit better on control vs the Hk. Shouldering a FA 308 is kinda worthless. On a bench w a bipod its enjoyable if thats your thing. I sold my transferrable Bm59. Not worth keeping as a $15,000 gun. Post sample ptr91 for $1200 is fun enough to use once a year. Youd be better off going that route then the fal
  10. Just looking to get back out what Ive got into them. $175 shipped for 5 -22 round pro mags like new and 14 sleeves made by Doug from the forum. (9) never installed. Ran fine on my gun. Instructions Included.
  11. Ill take the 2 20 rounders $225 each Pm sent
  12. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/896969419 Not a a1 but was a good deal a month ago
  13. Your over paying $7,000 on the WH and $4500 on the m1 A m1 wasnt $25,000 at Thompson market peak and right now maybe Thompson market bottom of recent times
