This is a scarce panoramic sight for the Browning machine gun. The only downside to this scope is it is painted a metal flake light blue, case lid needs to be restitched, otherwise I'd be looking for 900-1000. Price is plus shipping. Cash or PMO's for payment.

500-9500 depending on what you mean by original? Some guys have Yugo lafettes that are original, and some guys have mountain lafettes in original 3 color camo, and the rest fall in between. What do you have?

What are the characteristics of Registered Mail and Registered Mail Restricted Delivery? The most secure United States Postal Service® mail service (protected by safes, cages, sealed containers, locks, and keys). Not every PO has a cage or container. A lot of them I've seen have safes, and they are not huge safes so that may be what she was referring to? Don't pay for any type of expedited service....you will not get it, nor will you be able to track the package until it's delivered. More than a couple hundred miles, plan on a week. They've upped the insurance to 50K. It's about the only game in town now if you want to have all the bells and whistles. I still ship fedex and wing it with my insurance. The big auction companies still seem to be using fedex and UPS. RIA recently tried to bill me extra for insurance through UPS. I emailed them that I was not paying for something they don't even allow to be shipped? They rescinded the insurance fee. We'll see what happens when it actually comes time to ship a MG this summer? Between payment systems, shipping, monthly firearm rule changes, and atf watch lists of people not financially able to purchase, the industry is being choked off and somehow there needs to be some solutions soon? Recently a rumor of tracking of belt fed semi transactions?

The area was already drilled with an extra large hole, so you would have had to push out the colt pin and block (not that easy since it's not a straight pin as I recall and had to be milled out), but then you had to weld up two very large holes (one on each side) and re-drill a sear hole. Then you had to mill the pocket the rest of the way for a sear. When you're all done with that, you'll find they made the infamous large hole hammer and trigger pins, so there are no full auto fire control parts off the shelf that have large holes. Uppers had no bayo lug and no threaded barrels generally. Still, back in the day guys were paying top dollar for a colt. I bought one and flipped it for 1200 back in the day. I'd be hard pressed to pay more than $150 for that gun today? At the time colts was sucking up to the gun banners getting ready to financially fail once again. AWB, dark times in US history!

You got a couple extra stocks and you're complaining? On a stemple tube? If it was an anchor marked 21 Colt stock you didn't get, you'd have a legit beef and we would all be with you....but that's clearly not the case.

The number on the originals I've heard is 125-150. I don't follow the ratworx barrels/bipods so I can't really comment on those. What I never have figured out is the one barrel with the mid-mount bipod? How many of those are there? And why? Still not sure what the attraction is on the long barrel? The whole thing is really a package and the scope is unobtainable these days AFAIK? The other option is the Steyr bipod (on the left). Got that from Buddy....years ago....thanks!

Unfortunately ...so true, which is why I generally avoid getting into gun discussions with the general public. I'm actually doing a project at a club range right now and a couple guys have asked me if I am a member, and I am not. Fortunately none of them ask why so far. They ban most of what I own or am interested in. Like most clubs, it's a mix of trapshooters, glocks, and AR shooters. There are some old timers with souped up .22's that are actually the best bunch I've met there, but I'd bet if I whipped out a Norrrell .22 with 50 round mags and played shoot out the star, they'd be unhappy?

Some people will say over 2K now. I've never paid more than 1500. Seems to be a scarcity of AUG barrels/ parts in general these days, other than the parts kits? I'm also not sure what the attraction is since they don't shoot that well in my experience?

All sold

The reality is they don't work and never did due to bad engineering. I bought one on the cheap and stuck a bunch of time and parts into it and got it to work reliably. When I first got it I think within the first three rounds it broke the ejector, which is really my fault since it was firing only one round at a time and I had to jack with it, then fire the second, then by the 3rd it came unglued with the broken ejector. Forcing stuff to work... or break is never a good strategy! I did look at Eric's at the creek and was set on buying one, but when I started asking detailed questions he got pretty sketchy so I took a wait and see on that one. I have his card from Great Machine somewhere? That was before I knew anything about MGA. Personally I'd stay away and would never have bought it if I was told they didn't work, but once I had it I was pretty determined that it not be a paperweight and didn't feel like passing it off. Best of luck if you do find one!

Private museums cannot take in unregistered MG's. Everything at Cody is transferable or dummy gun. They don't even hold an SOT.

Second scope for sale. This one is a normal MGZ40 and can be had for $2000 without the can pictured above. Add the can for $300 This scope is clear, but has black specs in it. These both have factory paint in good condition and are fully functional. If you are looking mainly for display, we have an MGZ34 scope missing the front lens. Scope looks great, but unfortunately doesn't work. Easy fix if a guy had parts? Condition is good otherwise. $1200 for the scope and I'll have to find out if I have a spare can for it, but that would be extra.

Fees from the seller are negotiable depending on what you are selling. Some auctions take nothing and it's all on the buyer, but I do know in conversations with RIA, you'll need to pony up at least 100K of junk before they will waive what was 15% seller premium a few years ago. I have not checked recently. If you have an estate, calling the auction companies is pressing the EZ button since they will do everything including pick up, but like everything else it comes with a cost. It is very rare for a seller to net top dollar even on a piece that sells over market after all the fees, but when you consider most people trade in cars, it's the same thing more or less. You want to net more, you have to work more. There are some other benefits of staying anonymous, moving crap guns under the radar, etc.

Shoulder holster still available.

Bump Also have two 08/15 bipod bases. One is aftermarket, the other is original and a bipod could be rebuilt from it. It is the complete top with latch and working spring, but the sheet metal legs have been removed. $300 on the new made, $500 on the original.

I agree. A serial number of some type is all that should really be needed. You pay the tax, WTF difference does it make if it's a M240 or M11? As they say "once a MG, always a MG" who in gov. really cares what it is? For some reason guys want to get into nuances and corrections? You cannot correct/change any data in the registry, that actually would be a major violation of the NFA. For now they make notations for existing owners, but on the next transfer it goes back to the way it was originally recorded (if they actually have that info).

Highly doubtful. It was easier and a better idea to put your time into fabricating a plate. 1919 semi's were not a "thing" back in 86 because you could have a transferable MG for the same price if you built it yourself from a parts kit. The conversion parts you see for semi guns were because those guns were already in existence and it was easier to make a conversion part like a bolt and install it in a semi host. If you have a semi, you'll need to locate a loose transferable plate, drill the rivets, and "re-build" what you've done, and ditch the semi-internals for unmodified one's. HTH

The whole 80% thing is a mythical made up item. If you're selling what you claim to be 80%, then you have to number it and transfer it to an ffl. If you claim to be selling 79% receivers with no markings then no need for an ffl. If you're shipping square billet stock to a guy with a 5 axis machine and a program, that's in reality going to be 100% receiver, but you have no knowledge. If you're shipping a casting to a guy with a dremel, that's like a 10% receiver to that guy. The whole thing is a joke with no context, which is why all of this numbering, background checks, etc. needs to go, since it's just a distraction and complete waste of resources. You arrest people people committing crimes with tools, you don't arrest tool makers, that clearly has zero impact on crime. Example: shooting mylar birthday balloons with $400,000 rockets doesn't stop people from releasing the balloons?.....and what happens when you miss? No one seems to want to ask that question?

AFAIK no tool or gauge ever had instructions with it because as I understand it, that would not be the process? You would take the gun in at depot level, likely because it was a mess, consult the manual for tear down/inspection and retrieve the tools and gauges that are set out in the manual and utilize them per the instructions in the manual as you went along in the process. As we know receiver stretch would be one of the last things potentially checked as outlined in the manual. Most every one of these gauges I've seen is NOS. I doubt they ever got that far along in the manual before they just scrapped the guns due to many other issues. Once, I saw a pallet of 60's stacked in layers that looked fine (other than the wear and tear) and was destined for the scrap yard. They were complete and intact....and I'm sure never gauged for anything.....other than weight for scrap value? Then we went into the stockroom where all the NOS spare parts were.....all that I'm sure got scrapped as well. With 100K service life I don't think receiver stretch was actually a real thing, just some engineers wet dream that it could happen. The trunion would fail long before the receiver would stretch from what I've seen, thus making that gauge particularly worthless.

Yes, they came with instructions. TM 9-1005-224-24 is but one manual, and from memory there is at least one other.....I think? You'd never get to a depot level tear down without a manual and lists of tools and how to use them.

no

I've also been looking for one, should you want to share what you found? Thanks!
