    how to identify a Keosayian Collection Colt Executive gun from the 1990s pre-A4

    I just learned this from a tip on another thread yesterday and confirmed it by inspecting my own guns. Sometime after 1986, the forging changed and ever so slightly altered the area under the front push pin. The guns that are blacker than 1986 even though not as black as A4s, and with SN...

    My two new HKs

    This journey began 2 years ago w that durn DLO box (I still really wish I had gotten one but they’re unobtanium!) and the first phase of it ended last week when my stamps were approved . The MP5 is a Dyer gun (gone over 5 years ago most recently) w RCM 3-lug barrel and Fleming Sear. The PDW is...

    John Keosayian Colt Remakes

    Apparently we have gone from extreme secrecy and paranoia about these guns to openly and very publicly boasting about them: https://www.sturmgewehr.com/forums/index.php?/topic/29694-colt-m16-a2-keosayian-collection/#comment-96823

    how does bolt/carrier weight affect rate of fire

    I figure the Uzi guys will know as much about this as anybody, but my question relates to HK. I got an aftermarket RCM bolt for an SP5K I'm going to use as a sear host. The website says it's "tungsten filled" and CNC machined and all that so I figured it would be virtually identical to an HK...

    Another "soaring prices" thread

    Ruben, who appears to set the market, recently sold every HK he had, some at ridiculous prices (like $52k for a married sear/receiver gun). And now it's M16s. He got half a dozen new in inventory over the weekend and has priced them thusly: A2 AUTO marked LNIB $59,000 A2 BURST marked w Colt...

    Is this one of "those" HK MGs?

    I'm relatively new to this, but following auctions and listings to get a sense of prices/trends and found this: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/931968755 Looks to me like it's one of those few registered receivers (seller stated on the phone that yes, it's a RR) but rather than a DPP, it's got...

    question about HK51 FMP vs HK91

    I'm looking at a Volmer built HK51 using an FMP receiver. I know little about the HK51 (I'm more interested in the sear it hosts). Can anybody tell me the differences/desirability of a Volmer FMP based HK51 versus one built from another receiver, eg HK91? And an idea on the approximate value of...

    school me on this DPP gun with a married sear

    Ruben has this listed for $51,000 https://dealernfa.com/shop/hk-mp5a3-a2-dpp-registered-fleming-hk-sear-dyer-sef-lower-excellent-h0112-11610/ That's the price that a transferable sear commands, a premium I thought was due to the versatility of a sear being moved between hosts. This sear is...

    DLO box pending purchase problems since 6/2021

    Hey, guys - wanting to get some advice on a dilemma I face. And please if you want to be helpful, I don't need to hear how stupid or naive you think I've been, just tell me how you would proceed from where I find myself. I paid $40K to a seller in Florida in May/June 2021 for a DLO frame...

    Have Colt M16A2s broke the $40,000 mark?

    When exploring ways to fund another item last week I responded to a WTB ad for m16a2 and sent pics of a NIB original colt grey carbine with original aluminum staked acrylic-covered sliding stock, etc. I put a provisional asking price of $36,500. Turns out the WTB was a dealer on behalf of a...

    New to HK need suggestions for DLO Box

    I just agreed to purchase a DLO box/frame ($40k for the curious) and while it churns through the paperwork mill I need to find a host weapon of the MP5 family for starters. A buddy just got a semi-auto SP5 ($4000 at Impct Guns in Utah) and this seems the obvious route to a genuine HK host gun...

    What happened to all the M16s?

    Last time I was on Ruben's website, he had like 20 M16 and M16A1 (curiously no M16A2s). He now has zero. (he's also down from 20 to about 4 MP5s) Same think with David Spiwak - inventory cleaned out. I don't know of too many other dealers to check that have regular inventory. I'm ignoring...

    The Colt employee's name is John Keyosayian

    I don't know if this poster realizes that he just confirmed all our suspicions that these A4 lowers with pre-86 SNs were an inside job at Colt http://www.sturmgewehr.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1 Edit for spelling Keosayian, easily found right in the area of PA where all the dealers were...

    what Uzi to get?

    While I await my copy of the Uzi book pinned in this forum, can anybody offer practical advice regarding what Uzi to buy? I just want a 9mm SMG to shoot and have fun with. I have some M16s but don't get them out too much, I'm hoping an Uzi is more practical. Registered receiver versus...

    Found a surprise in the trap door of my POUSG M16A2 Colt

    Picked up my POUSG A2 today. F4 sent in June 26th, Approved April 22, 2017, received today. I opened the trap door and found the pictured relic. If you are familiar with Colts, you will recognize the little labels as the ones that used to be applied to Colt boxes and bags in the 1970s and...

    Is the simplest answer the correct one re: this M16

    the question being related to this gun: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/611584875 No mag fence, large pin, SN with SP prefix. So this is a conversion that was later marked M16A1 and "auto"? Is the simplest answer correct?
