Rekraps Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1002776887 Note that I checked the Die Machinenpistol (MP40) data base and this gun is not listed. A quick examination of the gun and description shows it's not a matching gun (bolt/recoil assembly/folding stock arm & maybe other locations I could not see), and the refinish job on it was terrible. Looks like no prep work was done to the metal at all prior to bluing. I would classify this gun as a shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at it, seemed pretty expensive for a non-matching refinished gun, didn't feel right, plus I already have two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 I've been to that shop. The seller is pretty clueless, though assumes he's an expert? Non matching, refinished, is not "super cool" it's a shooter at best. "we buy collections of all sizes". That may be true, but he'd have a hard time scratching 30K together for any collection. Their specialty area is ghetto blasters......and running trace requests. One of the few places I felt I should have been carrying in, due to the customers in there?

Wow. Well below market if it's in even half decent shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Stewart isn't some fly-by-night dealer, I've never dealt with him but he seems to be pretty highly regarded. If he says it's 85% you can probably take that to the bank (along with the additional $7-8K that you didn't have to spend to buy it.) It's an incoming gun so he says has priced it low because of the inevitable delays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Well Stewart's all matching German MP40 is now marked SPF. Did one of us get it? Edited September 21, 2023 by StrangeRanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83Baron Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Wonder also why the Ppsh he has listed and keeps dropping the price on hasn’t sold. Perhaps it’s not a c&r gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad as it is an excellent reference. My gun is on it.... and that was important when i bought it a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
