  1. One and seven twist, pencil barrel, teardrop forward assist, no brass deflector. “2” marked flip sights on the Carrie handle. ETA you’re right I meant 723 not 703. I had my #s confused. I paid $875 shipped for it
  2. Thanks for the insight guys. Admirably, you all are in invoking Hanlon’s razor: never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. And I suppose that’s the right attitude to have.
  3. That’s what I’m likely to do it is worrisome however when a dealer of $50,000 machine guns is so careless in describing an item. I’m getting PMs from people guessing exactly who it is because this apparently is not a first occurrence
  4. I just received what was described as a “new in wrapper“ M-16 upper. Colt Gray 1980s vintage it was listed as a 653 upper but it’s really a 723 upper because it is a 1:7 twist. That makes it an Israeli dispense forces upper. it matches an M-16 A2 factory full auto gun that I have. I received it today from a well-known Pennsylvania dealer. The thing is in decent shape, but it is hardly new in wrapper. There is wear on the bolt carrier, the inside of the receiver, nobody even bothered to clean the weapon, there is carbon everywhere. The dealer said we stand behind our product when I emailed immediately after receiving it. He said Send it back, which is fine and probably what I will do. I’m just disappointed that it could be so poorly described. I mean who titles an ad “new in wrapper” and then sells a dirty used product? The other conflict I have is, where am I ever going to find another upper like this? it’s not that I really need it and I never shoot that M-16 A2, but I figured it would add to the value if I had a matching, spare upper with it. I don’t have an online photo service or I would post a photo of the obviously worn internal upper receiver and bolt carrier and a handful of pieces absolutely covered in carbon What would you do?
  5. Sorry if this is a dumb question: what barrel was used and what can was used in the video? Does the can come with it?
  6. For clarification, this is an A1 forging marked A2 on the rollmarks, right?
  7. This is exactly why I have not bothered to "SBR" my SP5K sear hosts. Too much hassle, especially for those who fret over 922(r) - meaning both guys going the SBR route, and any buyer who thinks it's something to fret about.
  8. Doesn't seem like any evidence has come in to refute the "scam" hypothesis
  9. RUben's sold within hours for $45k September 2022. Neal Smith SN500: He had another one 1/23, sold quickly (days not hours) for $55k, link is on Sturm if you search the NFA boards Another one on this forum sold within past month for (well was listed for) $55k and I think it was alloy not steel. Search isn't working right now, else I'd post a link. This one was $45K IIRC: So I think < $45k right now is wishful thinking on buyers' part, and failure to follow the market on sellers' part.
  10. wishful thinking...."found in a basement" LOL I'm going to start from the position of "scam" and move away from that if any evidence to the contrary is presented
  11. maybe that's the gambit: play on peoples' "found in an attic" fantasies
  12. Actual posting sounds legit, but WTF Is this, some kind of basement discovery after an old-timer died of COVID or something? And even if it is, wouldn't you think that a serious seller would clean everything up and post some legit pics?
  13. I check for his obituary every six months or so and if that’s any indication yes he is still alive
