mattnh Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 (edited) There was one up on GB recently that didn’t sell at 8.5k https://www.gunbroker.com/item/968990706 and another that “sold”? for 13k https://www.gunbroker.com/item/963149920 Edited February 4 by mattnh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Greene Posted February 4 Author Report Share Posted February 4 The $8500 one that didn’t sell was posted buy a seller with 3 A+. Of the 3 sales one was a AR Magazine one was a AR Buffer Tube. The only sale of any value was for a gun to a non rated bidder. Too likely a scam for most experienced bidders. It would be interesting to see if he’s still a seller in a few months.

The problem with that auction is there is NO description of the M79 itself, manufacturer etc. or detailed photos of the markings, just a brief history of the M79. That "open" type recoil pad is VERY early production. Edited February 5 by Frank Iannamico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about the one on GB item # 960056525, honestly, it's really not great. The receiver markings are barely legible and there seems to be heavy pitting on some parts (trigger guard button, for example). TRW is known for having rough castings but this one is pretty bad. And the wood doesn't match the condition of some of the metal. I would also be skeptical about the "TRW" triangle stamps and the DAS stamp in the wood. They look too deep, crisp and aligned to me.
