For that price it had better include the vasoline.

I find it hard to believe that price! I hope the price of rivets didn't inflate it too much!! :lol: It reminds me of the Barret-Jackson auctions. ---bil

And I got a full kit and receiver,plus almost what he is selling for 1200! I really don't think that this sale reflects anything other than either someone with too much money,or someone that didn't do much research.I would hope you could do better.The 950 for an entire cut receiver is closer to the real price. ---bil

The second one is a guy here,it was posted last week.I wish I had the bucks to spare-thats what happens when you think you need everything! :? The first one would go good with the front half in the beginning of this thread.Just get a parts kit and you will be on your way.He may have one for around $600 or so.I notice in most of these ads the descriptive word 'minty'.I suppose that refers to the mouthwash you use to get the bad taste out after you spend a pile of money for half of a gun with no parts.Wait till the guys with piles of 2000 dollar 53 kits see this! :shock: ---bil

Insanity?,maybe not.The complete bbl.jacket,no cuts in bearing end,no cuts in the caming section= all the important dimensions/locations for correct gun function.The rear just mounts the stock,fcg,and the rails to guide bolt.The front end controls locking/unlocking,timing of ops.
It would sure save me 3 welds,one that is going to be tough to get correct.I'd probably go a grand on it!Sell the"minty"bbl. and have the better 1/2 for 800$,why not?
:? Enough ramblings from me,later lads.

This has got to be either a scam ,fake sale,or just plain lunacy :shock: There is no way this reflects any sort of real-world value.I would love to know the real story on this. ---bil

Ok, here I come out of left field; I know I have not been around recently ha ha.

I think that there are some dealers trying to raise the market prices of these items by staging auctions, so that they can sell their stuff off legitimately at a newer higher price. I watched that guy from Uniquecanes.com do it to a lot of the stuff he sells. I think that he might even be completely responsible for raising the prices of MP40 parts sets (a few years ago); since he was the only guy dealing them at the time. I remember how mp40 sets used to cost under 1k, then he started selling his for $2,000, and the market prices skyrocketed.

I'm still here guys, just float around a bit: I don't have much to say except that my finals are this week.
