June 23 2017 RIA NK and NV
« on: June 27, 2017, 11:50:19 AM »
First, nope, I didn't win either Lot 2556 or 2559 (or anything else at this auction). They pop up rarely enough and I did ask for and receive some extra pics for the North Korean, but not all of the ones I asked for, so i thought I'd share the extra info. I placed risk averse sealed bids on both lots but I was well south of the final price and simply wasn't willing to risk thousands on their "high resolution" pictures (or incur the debt) to place a live bid for more. Here's the links for the NK and NV, but these links will likely eventually break, so I'm including hosted screen capture pics too.

If someone here won either lot, I apologize for posting. I assume you'll be able to provide much better pictures when they arrive, as any of these rarities are certainly worthy of a detailed pic intensive thread of their own.

Thats a hardwood stock NK not a laminate.  Someone got a smoking $3k deal on it after you minus the value of the other gun.

I dunno what the auction premium would take it up to though.
      
1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms... It doesn't matter how many Lenins you get out on the street begging for them to be taken.

The price shown is with the cash on-site premium added. I think they both sold "on-site".

This was in western Illinois, so it might be outside his normal scouting radius  :))

Look at the shot of the trigger guard area, it's laminate.

Much better deal on the NK than on the NVA.

And LC, you need to eat more carrots.  Eyesight seems to be failing.  The NK is a laminate.  Really!

Wow.  I agree, that NK was a steal. How much did the various fees add to the $3.45k final price? 

Definitely a laminate stock looking at the trigger group photo. Thick slices though.  Outside surfaces don't look all that laminate-y.

Perhaps lam... But with the thick goopy dark brown crap on it, and through the glass of an Android....  Who the hell knows!

That is the final purchase price, not counting handling, packing materials and shipping  :o

Ahh, righto.


Just got to my desktop and noticed the NVA has an AK bayo on it.  Nifty.  thumb1
