Normally, I do not sell or trade guns, but this was an opportunity that came up and I made the decision within just a few minutes of it being posted. The gun is in hock right now, but here are two pics of the SN.... very cool. Edited June 16, 2023 by Rekraps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFA amnesty Posted March 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 That sir is a thing of beauty. Also love that unique serial number and the story behind it. I wonder if anyway you can get notarized documentation about that serial number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I have is an email from Spiwak detailing how he got the gun and where it came from and in fact he was involved in the Keosayian collection disposition. Nobody will ever know for sure about the SN, but my research results are logical and the unique SN speaks for itself. Note that even the stamping is different than the roll marks. Cleary this was hand done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleary this was hand done. Interesting story on that General, almost became CIA director but withdrew his nomination. I believe he is still alive. You are right about that serial number, had to be done by hand and only one I have seen like that from a US property marked M16A1 or A2. Congrats again.

Rekraps Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Speaking of accessories and stuff, I have about 54 of the 36 round flat clips for the "K" and the M76, and five or six loaders. Does anyone have any 26 round flat clips you would like to sell? I need about 5 or 6 more to round out my "15 per gun" allocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillinBama Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 I wasn't aware of the 26 round clips, I had a lot of the 36 rounders but let them go with my previous K couple of years ago. BTW, I found some swedish K parts for sale on GB last night, barrels, accessories, many more than just a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillinBama Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 I was determined to find my 36 rd. clips if they were still in my stash, so I began opening every ammo box I have. Didn't take long, they were in one of my MP5 boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillinBama Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I guess I respectfully decline, this is all I have, and I think I need to hang on to them. If I decide otherwise, you'll be the first to know. It sure was easier when I had my first K and all the accessories , trying to re-create everything again is proving hard to do, not much stuff available and what is has really increased in value. I've got a loader on the way, some brass catchers are out there, and a few barrels, but little else. No slings, as the impetus for this thread showed. The offering on GB of the blank firing barrel and 2600 rounds of gallery ammo is tempting, but at almost $2000 I'm not THAT tempted. Which brings up a question, are there any clips inside the plastic sealed packages with the ammo? I don't remember and I'm not ready to open the one remaining package I have.

Mongo Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Yes the ammo is on clips in the battle packs. See my earlier post with pictures of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillinBama Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Yeah, and I saw it a few weeks ago, but as I said, that was a few weeks ago and I've slept (a little) since then. My excuse is I'm getting old. That one didn't work when I was younger but now it works for just about everything, so there is one advantage I guess. Next time I'll just ask him directly.

Lewisfan Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Great info and pics here! Thanks for making a forum for the K and later related variants. I'll share some pics as I have time. Here's a sling that I have for my K. I don't recall where it came from but I think it was from one of the pre-sample guns that I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewisfan Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Color matching - Original on left, Andrewski on right. Very close when both are in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillinBama Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 My first K was green, a Pearl conversion/build. The rear sight was knocked off by some dummy gunsmith(me) and after getting it welded back on I touched up the paint with some model airplane paint I had(another hobby of mine) which turned out to be an almost perfect match.

BillinBama Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 I know this is the wrong forum to discuss MP 40's, but some of you guys have them, and I was just able (I think) to snag one thanks to a heads-up from Got Uzi that one was available on Ohio Ordnance's website. Pre-sample, nearly all matching, with four mags, mag loader and sling (looks original). I'm like a kid at Christmas if this deal goes through! So now I'm looking for accessories for the MP 40 as well as the K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillinBama Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Again, forgive the cross post, but I know some regulars on the K forum have HK MP5's and I don't find a forum for that sub gun, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
