maxfaxdude Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 I saw one for sale recently at $32 K which seems high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APEXgunparts Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Yes they are. I saw a Goldman tube OWEN at the SAR show here in Phoenix. I didn't like the camo colour scheme. This is mine: Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 How much was the tube gun at the show? I wouldn't hesitate to strip the paint off a tube gun...if the price was right? The color on yours I could live with easily, but I have seen one or two that are hard on the eyes, like some Austen's. I have one or two guns I have had to learn to live with to appreciate over time...but it took a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 I shot one of the Goldman tube guns many years ago. It ate up 9mm Para like salted peanuts. Although a Southpaw it worked OK for me. IMHO the Owen was one of the best old school mill and lathe machined SMGs ever. The other is a UD42 . Always thought them weird and not handy until I actually fired one. The top mount mag isn't as bad as thought ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTRS-14.5 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 The one on Curt's table at SAR was asking $28K. I passed on that for a tube gun. Thx Charlie A&O C3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx Charlie A&O C3 I looked at that OWEN too. I didn't care much for the camo paint job. The tag said $30K. Last Australian issue OWEN I saw was years back at Knob Creek. It was $32K and didn't last more than a couple of hours. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a pic (see it below). Too much for a tube gun IMO. But Owens do not come up very often in any form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 My question would be did it get painted in the home depot parking lot, or right at the fairgrounds parking lot? Did it get painted on setup day or Wed? There must still be an Earl Scheib in Phoenix? Good thing it's easy to strip. Was the Austen real or a tube, and what was the number on that if anyone recalls?

APEXgunparts Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 The AUSTEN is a GOLDMAN tube gun. I think they were asking $25K on it. I have been looking for one and almost got into "haggling mode" with Kole about buying it. My OWEN is also a Goldman tube build. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Hmm, that seems a bit optimistic, but cheaper than the one on GB, that is missing original parts for much more money. It at least looks good? Hard to put a number on stuff like that? I guess the good news is it's less than 141,000? For now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgedup Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 I recently came across a situation where I was unsure if a Reising pouch I was looking at was an original or a reproduction. The quality seemed good, but there were some subtle differences that made me question its authenticity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
