  4. Positive Feedback for Tom Busey / BDMERC

    in General Firearms Discussion

    Posted

    I recently purchased a S&W 76 from Tom Busey on this board.

    There isn't much to say other than that Tom is a fantastic guy to deal with.

    It was a great experience from start to finish. Tom provided great communication, quick eform filing, fast shipping, and an honest assessment of firearm condition. I couldn't be happier. 

    Best of luck in your future endeavors, Tom.

    Wow!! What a read!  I’m not a member at FAL files so never saw that thread.

    Agree looks like he has passed.

    Anyone have any thoughts on if it worth going to the estate for $450?  I’m thinking probably not!  

    That's your call.

    If it were me, I'd try to talk with Jim and see if you can get something worked out. Maybe he'll tell you he wasn't the one who made the deal and to go to hell. Maybe he'll make it right.

    If I was in your shoes, I'd at least make 'em earn that $450. 

    Whatever else happens, I hope you get satisfaction. Even if it's just spiritual.

    Gentlemen,

    When I saw that email address, some alarms went off. 

    There was a fairly big brouhaha on FalFiles over some chap who went by the handle of RiversideSports. I don't think I ever got twisted with the guy, but plenty of other guys did. 

    I have no dog in this fight. I'll let everybody come to their own conclusion.

    According to one guy on the Files, Charles (who is deceased), would sometimes go by his father's name (Jim). If that's true, maybe Charles is the one who sold OP the barrels? Not much OP can do except go after the estate. 

    -K

     

     

  9. Some Sturmgewehr members very unreliable when buying on forum.

    I have noticed too this behavior has really increased on GB also. I’m kinda surprised now when someone promptly pays. 

    Paying promptly for an item purchased of one's own free will? What will they think of next? 

    In all seriousness, we should always remember that gun boards are a subset of society at large. It stands to reason that if society at large has a significant number of dirtbags, we will start to see more of them here, too. That said, gun people are still the best people.

  12. Two Transferable 9mm UZI For Sale- Price drop

    On the registered reciever was the blocking bar removed?  Also was the trunion opened up and ring removed?  I have seen quite a few HTA conversions and they arent the best.

    Thanks

    Looking at pictures 1, 2, & 3, it appears that the blocking bar was removed. That is the main thing to look for in a RR Uzi. The barrel restrictor ring is actually kind of a nice feature IMO.

     

  14. WTB a transferable sten, hard budget 8,200

    I am currently looking at 4 stens in the 7,800 to 8,400 all on form 4’s alternatively does anyone know what the going rate of a virgin tube is? Or are they all more expensive then a fully completed gun now? 

    I wouldn’t mind getting one even if it costed more in the long run to have it built. I just want to put my foot in the door with both guns (a nice Reising and a sten) for no more than 17k.

     

    I wouldn't bother with a virgin tube unless you get a great deal and have a good quality parts kit lined up. It's a pretty small sample size, but I have never seen a bad Sten tube. 

    I think you should be able to do both a Reising and a Sten for $17k. 

    Do you have any transferables (or Pre-May Samples) that you would be willing to trade? 

    -Kristopher

    ETA: I just remembered you mentioned a Pre-May Madsen. There is a guy on here on Sturm who might be willing to trade you a Sten or Reising for it. 

    ETA 2: damcv62 might be the guy you want to talk to.

     

  21. Just bought m2 registered kit questions.

    in NFA / Semi Forum

    Posted · Edited by MontanaRenegade86

    If it came with just the seven deadly pieces, you'll need a couple more items:

    • M2 Trigger Housing (has a cutout for the 9 spring)
    • M2 Sear
    • M2 Slide
    • Round Bolt (not required, but highly recommended)
    • M2 Stock (can modify an M1 stock)

    I think that's it. 

    Not my video. All credit goes to ADCOSteve. 

    ETA: Forgot the most important part: congrats on the M2. I loved my first one so much, I bought a second one.

  22. Any MK760 Gunsmiths?

    in NFA / Semi Forum

    I hope to be sending mine to John Andrewski after I finish collecting all the spare parts I need. 

    PM me if you need contact info. I don't like giving out information openly on the Internet, as it can lead to harassment from spammers and scammers.
