Yes, they can be costly. I went the Redding dies route.

Yes, and they are out of production. Looking at Redding dies at the recommendation of RCBS.

Scored a nice stash of 8mm Nambu 100 grain projectiles (1,100 count) and 250 pieces of brass I believe are manufactured from .357 SIg and .38 Super. I think I'm going to start off using Hornady shell plate number 8. Any wisdom on loading 8mm Nambu much appreciated. Still looking for some dies...

Yes, indeed the most curious part of the article. I would love to see an example of one if there is one still out there. I don't recall coming across that in THE MAC MAN book, either.

According to a Small Arms Review article, it appears that MK Arms did in fact make some open bolt semi-auto carbines for submission to the ATF technology branch on the cusp of the 1982 semi-auto open bolt ruling. Are there any still out there? Who knows, but the grand market of them were closed...

That's steep for MK760 style parts off a Special Weapons 760. I get it, and without BWE, hopefully someone will take up the mantle to resurrect this historical but overlooked platform.

Great detective work guys!

I'd rather buy the Lewis Gun he has, more meat on the bone!

A buddy of mine owns a Wesco Ord. carbine. In 9mm I believe. He knew original manufacturer out of S. Arizona in the mid 80s.

Too Cool!!

Mine was free for a total of 2k (entire package) in 2009. The PD Oregon needed new armor for their SWAT and sacrificed the MAC with can,

Thank you, David. When I purchased my RPB/PS MAC in 2009 from a local PD (in their locker since 1982) and my SIONICS can in 45ACP came with the total purchase minus an additional $200 tax on my end. Did not know their increased value these days.

I've been out of the loop for a while on a variety of cans available for the MAC platform. However, I came across this ad on gunbroker https://www.gunbroker.com/item/955503748 and I am curious as to what the current value of OG SIONICS cans go for (within reason) these days?

Anyone can list a price reaching to the stars. Will it be within reason? No. However, I notice some people use narratives as a selling point, either real or imagined. With all do respect for the Pearl Harbor veteran and other war story attachments, they don't command a premium of previous...

Last decade I remember a story of an NFA dealer who told me about a mail theft of an incoming transferable. The culprit had no idea what was stolen until too late and chopped a colt Navy Thompson into multiple pieces before the law caught up to him. It sucks, but it happens. Flashback even...

Not to diminish my own stash, but what kind of imagination rose the price up 20k in two years?

Thank you Tomk. Quite a turn around on a 8k purchase in 2018. Auction may be the best avenue minus the house's premium. Pros and cons.

I can't find much value information on Beretta Model 38/42 in excellent condition. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thank you all.

It's overpriced (INMHO), but what isn't these days? Unless you have a parts kit to see come alive again, you could probably find a complete, functioning K for the same price if not a little more. Ten years ago, parts kits could be picked up for $300.00, but now they are asking a premium for them.

I think the case in "progress" begged the question about demils and their "future" legal implication.
