Quote HistoryQuoted: God as my witness I saw a full auto 249 that had a HK trigger pack in NY. It was one of the coolest things ever. I can't see paying 10k for a semi but I probably could probably pile ip 10k worth of guns I have that I'd trade for a semi 249   Also have an FN M249S.  And yes, it's true that functionally, these are inferior in every way to an AR-15: weight, accuracy, reliability, modularity, cost, maintenance... but they are cool. |

Quote HistoryQuote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Surprised all it took was changing the trigger pack. If someone didn't give a shit or lived in BFE. Seems like it would be pretty easy to change it. That cant be right can it? Its likely got a striker instead of a hammer One would think you need a whole real auto carrier and then the FCG. Im sure theres some sort of denial for a real auto carrier to drop into the receiver as well https://www.gunbroker.com/item/931461324 Looks like you're right This is where the Gen 1 will gain value over this gen. The new release is not as easy to convert. Somewhere down in the depths of the forums is a comparison. Its also kind of lore that guns that haven't gone back for the recall will still bring a premium. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You mean where selling on GB for $20k... Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Not a deal... They are starting to saturate again so I think we will see 7500 or less sooner or later. Before they dried up last time they hit 6500. Same thing with the M82 barrets. When they were everywhere not selling you could get one for 6k. They got a little hard to find and went up but they have been starting to float in and drop the prices again. You mean where selling on GB for $20k... There was still guns hitting 16k plus on GB when the new batch came out. I was following them and then noticed one morning some very large GB sellers all listed a couple at the same time. I think a few people missed it because a few of those even went up.

I wanted one, but that was when they were around $7k, maybe a little less. They're cool, even if they are only semi.
I have a transferable 5.56 beltfed already, so there's really no point in my case, unless the price is right. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: ...But gone are the days of a beltfed under the 5k mark. Unless there are some 1919s I am missing, everthing else shot up, even the semi RPDs. Are semi 1919s that high on the secondary market these days? I was thinking a nice setup would be around the 3k mark, but I haven't been keeping up. My 1919 is a hoot with a crank, but doesn't make it out much because of everything involved to set it up/take it down (and ammo cost). An A6 kit helps a little. |
