Re: Tornado Kit Finally Comes To Life!!
Everyone took it in the shorts to some extent in the deal; Jen and all of us, I eventually got most of two kits...but like so many things all seems trivial now. Could have done a better purchase elsewhere at the time, so what...it worked out over time as good as it worked out. I felt sorry for Jen w...

It's got to be hosted and served up elsewhere like Imgur.

Re: Belgian Commercial Kit For Sale - $1500 SOLD
The real point of the kit I sold...is no refinish required to build a "commercial" clone with all Belgian parts exactly as they were imported to this country through Steyr, Howco or GSI. This one more apropo to the Steyr version or the early GSI due to the use of the long style hider. Barrel all ass...

Re: Anybody got a real 50.61?
If it came through one of the commercial U.S. importers....there should be no serial on the barrel or lower. If those are serialed items on the one you are viewing it's bogus. 50.63 and others have matched serials on bolt, carrier and receiver only. Nothing that shows outward appearance should be se...

Re: Tornado Kit Finally Comes To Life!!
...and your could pick up truly excellent kits $350, I gave in and got bit in the deal as a late joiner to the group @ $250 shipped. Hurricanes and tornados be damned...built and sold both fifteen years back already. You are the last of the last holdouts. Good job! Worth every penny these days, for ...

Re: Belgian Commercial Kit For Sale - $1500 SOLD
Sorry Sternikov; I have another to follow later. Better kit/as good, but without the GSI/Steyr long hider (a later kit/sample with the combo device). Let me see if/what I can accomplish I'm "challenged" currently. I'll drop you a note direct before listing for sale.

Belgian Commercial Kit For Sale - $1500 SOLD
Kit is 95%+ and original finish - price is firm. I reserve the right to sell elsewhere and to any one I choose, there are those here on site I wouldn't deal with if I were starving to death; instead of simply dying. PM me or hit my email - reply here will likely be ignored; it's also listed elsewher...

You folks are free to live in your world and so is Bill. Don't have him over for dinner and be happy.

Re: Argentine FMAP Price Check
Matched serials SAC gun about what you've read for valuation as condition. SAC guns are all, nonetheless post ban...were it proper pre89 it'd be clearly engraved with Armscorp of America on the receiver right side; or National Arms Billerica, MD and thus worth quite a bit more. The open eared barrel...

Re: NOS Type 3 FN receiver
Really no need to be put out about personal decisions and such....I only meant to point out the Imbel when built every bit as good and nice finish as opposed the Belgian and much easier to make dollars and sense of in the longer view. Folks fall all over themselves and yes, we may have all done so. ...

Re: NOS Type 3 FN receiver
I've got a 97% 50.63 kit, should have been where you started - with a bunch of Belgian kit parts on-hand. You don't like my view of things, but truth is the Imbels are finished nicer than Belgian as type IIIs, that can't be avoided. I could lay out a nice 50.00 model kit as well...just not ready at ...

Re: Loose Rat Tail Pin?
It's a simple repair provided you've obtained a new rivet and doesn't need pressed in, just make sure the spring and rat tail are correctly in place, insert the rivet and back it up with some kind of appropriate bench block on the head side, then spread the far side with a punch. Once in place it's ...

Re: NOS Type 3 FN receiver
Stick around a bit pal. It's no better than an imported Imbel and the only real perceived value difference you are running on is in the engraving/roll stamping and name on the side. Period. Buy em' all...no diff.

Re: NOS Type 3 FN receiver
Good on you then you must have laid a plan. Makes an expensive but uncollectible shooter/keeper. I've done one or two myself....but I held the parts before buying in for the whole ride. Don't suppose you'd be in least interested in a 97%+ 50.63 Belgian parts kit??? Ooooops, wrong receiver cuts for t...

Re: NOS Type 3 FN receiver
You wasted some real dollars on a whim, without a kit and a nice kit all Belgian you'll never value up to the level needed to justify the acquisition. Congrats. Hope for the best is all I can offer you. Put a set of parts on it and have fun....a total of Parts Kit + Receiver + Finishing you are goin...

Re: WTB- Hythe 2 leaf rear site in very good condition
I can hardly type much more than that even. My sight compromised and lot's of problems due to a five week hospital bed and recouping so I thought if we can talk via phones would be easier as it is simply hard enough that way. I can't even stand I'm so weak. I do have those that can hopefully help pa...
