You know back when they were around $3500, A lot of those powder springs guns used to be a good piece to get into transferables in the NFA world, but now you can hardly find them under $10k anymore.
I bought mine for around that price, it was a deal that came out of nowhere. Dude needed cash fast, I had fast cash. By his age he bought this gun first had so made a good profit as they were sub 300$ in the early 80's
Best I've seen for an M11 is about $8K from Ruben in FLA, I'm going to buy my M16 from him. Straight shooter and has an excellent reputation in the NFA world.
Then there is the luck of getting a private seller buy. Issues I have they hold the gun I bought until the ATF allows the transfer.
Looks great! I havent bought that upper (yet) I went on the Suomi kick. I probably have 20+ drums kicking around. And when they offered the 5.56 upper I had to jump on it. I went for the internal spring because I didnt want to drill a hole in the receiver. Prime reason I don't have a Saber upper, no way am I messing up my investment.
Wicked! I havent shot the 5.56 upper yet. I got it right as this Wuhan Flu kicked off and wont waste the ammo for a play day. There is a guy that made his a proper 16" and I might buy another to do the same thing.
I hear ya, now I really want a belt fed upper for this. And a guy tried a bunch of years back to mate and RPD (which I do have one) to the M11/M10. They threw his as in jail over it. I did see a video recently of basically a M249 upper on a M10 but where that is at legally I cant say.
I got a soft spot for belt feds, I got a few and I really want more. Short list PKM and M60. Nearly got a PKM parts kit a few months ago. Guy wanted $8k for the parts kit, I couldnt do it.
I rented a full auto RPD at Firing Line in NH, ton of fun! They had a M134 available, if I shoot that gun I'm renting a helicopter and hog hunting in Texas. That would be a blast!
What’s the story behind this, and how’d you find it? If you don’t mind sharing. I’ve always wanted to go full giggle (“legally”) but I don’t know where to start. Also fuck the ATF :)
This was a private sale, it was in all honesty dumb luck. I really got lucky, I paid probably $2k under its real value. The guy needed money, I got money and I'm already an NFA owner so the ATF paperwork went thru w/o a hitch.
If I were to buy another, and I plan on an M16 I would go with Ruben at https://dealernfa.com. I have more than a few interactions w/ him and I know people that have bought w/ him with no issues.

So THAT'S what $200 of theft bought you. ;) I still have a ways to go:

Can't find the video, sorry to say.

Not bad but no match for my 6lb fireman’s axe with a hickory handle!
I am so excited to get that axe, I can make "Ax Body Spray" from the idiot rioters!
Can we be friends?
I thought we already are, Donnie 2020!!!

Yeah... the whole $75k is kind of the hard part. But I’m really happy that you got one! That’s awesome, congrats!
I’d be all about a full giggle 9mememeter :) I’ll have to start watching auctions now
+1 on Ruben at https://dealernfa.com

Also have a suppressor for both uppers, need more optics. I agree.
Isn't the little stick you put in the trigger guard supposed to go BEHIND the trigger?
You know, that way there is a foreign object preventing the trigger from being squeezed?
