TGCJ Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Interested in purchasing a M1918 BAR. Please PM me if this gun is still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBill Posted November 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 I have gotten several PM's for additional pictures and pics of bore. I will be bringing gun to Phoenix and it will be available for inspection hopefully in natural sun light. One picture is worth a thousand words but go even farther and look in person! I'm sure every one is following the class 3 stuff in the upcoming RIA auction? They have two 1918's (transferable) on the block 1 Winchester and I Colt Hopefully for me they sell strong.

MrBill Posted December 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Well gun survived the Phoenix SAR show (two potential tire kickers did not show) and the RIA auction had a lot of people thinking 50K was way out of line? So the results from Saturdays auction are as follows #591 Winchester, refinished in very high condition with magazines $63,250....not bad for a pre sale estimate of $27.5 to $42.5 ...And the Colt which was described rough sold for $57,500 and it also had pre sales estimate of $22.5 to $35K . Maybe these auctions spew these low estimates as more sales BS but it makes it hard to sell a gun like this on the same day of the auction! Plus you also have to add your state sales tax to the purchase price. So my Winchester still needs a new home and based on these results. It will be a good deal.

Blanksguy Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Doesn't the "added" premium over the auction-price go to the Auction-House and not the seller (?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppgcowboy Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Yes, but the buyer still pays a lot more than at a private sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBill Posted July 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Okay BAR is still available and now I see that RIA has a BAR Winchester in there 8-26 auction. Gun looks very pretty for a combat rifle but photo shop works very well. There estimate is 55K to 85K plus commission and state sales tax. I think mine is a very good purchase.
