  1. So...it's only 3999? We know some amount have been changed, but they are keeping the total number secret I guess.
  2. He quotes $80 on his website, bu;t t;hat was for the previous lot which is sold out. It could be a bit more or he may be able to hold the line, I don't know yet.
  3. Austin just messaged me he will soon have 50 or more extractors available. His website is Navgunner.com. I'm planning to order one, and he has about 10 more commitments so roughly 50-60 more will be available. No affiliation, etc.
  4. There's a Port Said parts kit for sale on Sturm and Snugbus. Shameless plug.
  5. I haven't checked in a while to see if any more of my guns have changed status. I originally had four to change, but after a few days two reverted back to pre status. Now I see that one of my MP5's has changed, whoo-hoo! Kind of like a tax refund check you didn't know was coming. Should I sell it before it changes again? Who knows?
  6. Saw this a few minutes ago. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1093071375
  7. I have three base plates and a few mag springs, all original. Contact me @ bmitch1948@gmail.com
  8. I talked with Austin today, he's gearing up to make some extractors.
  9. Yeah, I agree it's overpriced, but it sold for $245 plus gB fees, so someone felt it was worth it. Keep looking, you'll find one eventually, but probably you'll have to pay a bit more than you'd like. I wish I could have helped you out but none of mine fit the bill.
  10. I'm always fearful of getting burned, and did once last year big time but it was my fault for not doing my due diligence. But I have to say I've done several deals with folks on here in the past few months and every one was solid. In several cases I've ended up getting a new gun buddy and we stay connected after the sale. That's the joy of this hobby I think, almost as much (maybe more?) as the actual firearms/parts involved. WE get to "know" each other and even trade mild insults and kid each other as guys are wont to do. My wife thinks I'm a jerk for acting this way and I cannot make her understand that it is normal guy behavior. I have a group of friend I shoot pool with every Monday and we regularly insult each other's proficiency, then the next game they are our partner and the best pool shooter ever. The commaderary is worth more than the win/loss ratio of the games we shoot. I think the same way about the folks on this forum, we all have gun interests that automatically draw us to one another, then we usually share similar political leanings, and from there things might diverge somewhat, but we appreciate one another's knowledge and the willingness to share it freely, (and sometimes disagree on how to proceed on something. Sorry, I got off subject. What's the parts treasure up to?
  11. I might bid, but with five days to do I think it's going to approach the cost of all the parts kits combined, so multiple thousands of $$. We all know there are several guys on here that will likely bid. Gonna be interesting to see what it sells for.
  12. I once had a STEN that was listed as ".22" caliber. When I sold it I considered changing it to the correct 9mm but decided to leave well enough alone.
  13. Nice! I had one with everything matching but the bolt, sold it too soon.
