Those don't come around very often, especially from a commercial retailer. Just have to keep your eyes peeled on GB & here in the EE.
Keep any eye on www.sturmgewehr.com too. That is where I got my Type A from. Mil-Surp, that makes me feel really good about my $45 Type A I bought roughly 3 yrs ago.  
ETA: There was a member here at one time that posted a picture of a bunch of them (in the shape of a Christmas tree IIRC) with varying degrees of wear. He went by the name of QUIET, but I have not seen or heard of him lately. I do not know if they were for sale, or it was just a picture opportunity. |

Yeah HK, I think you got a pretty good deal on your $45 type A. I wonder if the seller would have sold it knowing you were going to strip all the nice green paint off of it? Just kidding! It looks great!
I don't know what happened to QUIET, I remember drooling over his pics of the stocks and I think he actually did sell some but haven't seen him around lately either. |

I had no plans of stripping it at the time of purchase, cause I had a left side 601 HG & that grip that was still nice & green, but when I finally got the right side HG (thank you GUTS) it was mostly stripped/worn to the brown. |

I met and talked with QUIET at the recent Knob Creek machine gun shoot. Nic guy, still had a few things for sale. I bought a brown stock from him with about 50% green paint still on it. He had a few, I picked best one there and paid $70 for it. Goes with the mostly stripped of green paint brown grip in my stash of parts. Only need to find some handguards now (HINT, anyone?).
Anyway, he had for the collector (I did not ask price) wooden patterns for making the "investment" (i.e. wax positive) for making aluminum collapsing stock bodies and receiver extensions. Kind of neat. Sent him a IM here telling him it was nice to meet, etc. Don't know that he got it as he never responded. I will be trying the Citristrip to complete the browning of my stock sometime this winter. Last spring I bought an original 601 selector and a couple of pins from him. Oh yeah, he also had just the triangle portion form a charging handle too, decent condition though crunched apart from the rest of the unit. |
