Mojopin2010 Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 A virgin Swedish K tube was posted and the asking g price was 27,0000. Not sure how these should be priced , I think Ruben has reworked Wilson Tube Gun for 28,000. Thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Personally I think a virgin K tube is only worth $13k-$15k or so as youll have $1,200-$1,500 in a parts kit then another $2,000-$4,000 in having in built. That being said, with the insanely INFLATED prices these days, who knows what a Swedish K tube gun is worth anymore. Im basing my argument on the last couple Ks I saw sell which were in the $17.5k-$20k range. I think a Swedish K tube gun over $20k is crazy and over $25k is beyond insane. Im still trying to figure out what the differences are with the prefix on the tube, with one prefix being better than the other? Was there a batch of bad Wilson tubes vs good ones??

Mojopin2010 Posted October 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Thanks for the feedback Uzi. I don't know the difference either but I was wondering on the price. Ruben has a Wilson tune for 28,000 and this seller wanted 27 so. . . . This is looking like that virgin sten stube that was up for 10,000 and eventually sold for 6500.

Got Uzi Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Thats how Im seeing this one too but given the sellers history of getting crazy prices on GB, they might just find a sucker for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Tough sell for a complete gun over 20k IMO. That tube, may 10-15K? I wouldn't exactly call that virgin?A tube is a tube is a tube. They are all the same IMO, some require a bunch of work and some less, depending on what you want to make it into, but for 27K I can make an MP18i a Swedish K and have money left over?

Got Uzi Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 Like I said some idiot will come along and just have to have it.I question how or where they find the buyers they get in GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlmg41 Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Looks like an Andrewski built gun sold by Recon Ordnance. Should be good to go if you want to pay the price? At one time there was a rack of them there until the tubes ran out. I looked at them a number of times but could never get past the color? Another year or two and mine might be done, but it won't be green. On a side note I asked RIA for the buyers list of suckers.....ain't for sale, but the girl did laugh and admitted that list is a closely guarded secret. They have no idea why some people pay so much either, but some on the list do? I'm not generally one of them.

I never heard of a bad batch of Wilson tubes. I have seen “L” and “MB” prefixes that worked perfectly. I was told they were from different runs with slightly different construction. I know that some started out as a straight tube and then had the side rails welded on and the welds are very obvious. Others might have been shaped from one piece or the welds were cleaned up to make it look like one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 That makes sense. Ive never heard of bad Wilson tubes either. Personally I would say that the one in question has extremely shitty markings compared to the one Ruben has for not much more. Still tho.IMHO those are wishful hope I can snag a sucker prices.

Mongo Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) When I saw the price I figured there was crack in use when posting the listing. Then it was going to generously offer a Swedish K kit at on $5K if you buy the tube. Obviously the crack was still in effect. Then the prices of the spare magazines, I was starting to wonder if they lister was going to be found dead from drug use while posting.

Mojopin2010 Posted October 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 I saw the parts kit offered for 5k and stick magenizes for $300. I made a snarky comment about inflation hitting the swedish k transferable market hard. It unfortunately got deleted rather quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekraps Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Gentlemen, the "L" series Wilson tubes (200 mfg by Andrewski (Stan)) are quality items. Stay away from the "M" series tubes as there might be serious questions regarding the material used to make them. That is all I will say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkg3k Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 I saw the parts kit offered for 5k and stick magenizes for $300. I made a snarky comment about inflation hitting the swedish k transferable market hard. It unfortunately got deleted rather quickly. I'm positive the offer of the "mostly complete" parts kit for $5k and $300 stick mags was completely facetious...to further illustrate the ridiculousness of the asking price on the $27.5k raw tube.

Mojopin2010 Posted October 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Fair enough. I have lack the ability to see sarcasm at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Yes that parts kit and magazine listing was a HUGE jab at the seller who is trying to rape and pillage on that tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 I don't think he cares? There's also the possibility like a lot of things these days....it's a consignment piece? Like a ton of the other sellers on GB who seem to get higher values based on? Apparently low IQ's of their auction followers? I'm no psychologist so I have no explanation on how or why, and am horrible at retail sales. I have a couple higher dollar guns for sale and last week a guy emails and says he'll take them both if he can put them on a CC, so I respond "I doubt your credit limit is that high?" Never heard back? Maybe I should use one of these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Never know. Might be worth it to use their services, but then again you will lose how much due to seller fees. With the way prices have become inflated, its really taken the fun out of the hobby. Seems like everyone is now trying to set a new record for the highest priced item.

Hey now! I would totally sell a mostly complete kit for $5k! I might throw in some extras! And you thieves ain't getting my mags for $300! I listed them for $375, don't be trying to cheat me. If you've got $27.5k to blow you have an extra $75 per mag. I'll cut you a deal if you buy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
