Might be real, might be repro. Likely going to be more xpensive than I might want to believe.

It's real. Good looking cylinder. That one is correct for a mid 40k through end of gas trap production at 51k. Note the plug has no hole in it. Happy bidding.

Paul, my estimates: front sight $1500 to $2000, plug $1500 to $2000 gas cylinder $3400 to $4500

What do you think ?

[Bubba1]

You're all over it. Front sights and plugs average st 1500.00 each in nice condition. Cylinders range from 3500 to 4500 in nice condition. Condition and the type of cylinder , plug, and sight is everything. On average they've sold at 6000 to 6500 recently which is up from 5000 to 5500 from a few years ago. A type 1 cylinder assembly sold for a bit more recently also. These will fluctuate some but overall they have held their value and appreciated in value . Good quality shootable cylinders also seem to hold their value because of their quality and low production numbers and their possibility of use.

Currently sitting at $3K with our very own member GUNHEEP in the lead!!!

More than likely not for long. There is always somebody with deeper pockets. I will just keep waiting. Not giving up on finishing this one, no matter how long it takes

Sold for $3025. Just about at my level of pain.

Did it sell? It was at $3000 with 3 bids and reserve not met when I watched it end.

[GUNHEEP]

That's how I seen it. Nobody's contacted me on payment. I didn't even know it ended. I put in my high bid, that was it and walked away. I used the cash to buy a feeder/delinker for my m134 minigun

[Bruw]

It says SOLD with Gunheep as high bidder. If reserve wasn't met I would think it wouldn't say SOLD.

[GUNHEEP]

Trust me. I am not the winner and it didn't sell. There was a reserve on it of 6500.00. I contacted the seller and he claims this happened before. Must be a guns America thing ?
It would have been nice to get it for 3k. I may have been able to trade it for a type 1 cylinder? Oh well

[Bruw]

I believe you. Just very misleading on GunBroker's part to show it as SOLD.

[GUNHEEP]

Guns America. Not Gunbroker. Honest mistake.

I tried to signup and bid, but GA software email verification system would not allow me to sign in me, even after I paid the $2.00 verification fee, and used the secret code that they sent me...I mean like 50 attempts.
