Yea, im cool with a reproduction if that’s how this is gonna go lol

I hope you're going to use that to have reproductions made. At least try to get some of your money back.

I just dont get the cloning thing.

That’s just ridiculous.

I was watching that myself, and at one point considered bidding on it (when there was only 1 bid). I decided not to ultimately and forgot about it yesterday until after it ended and when I saw that final prince my jaw hit the floor

I don't get it.
At the end of the day a clone/repro/homage/whatever is exactly that. It isn't and never will be an original gun, and I just don't understand spending that kind of money on an original/rare part just to put it into a clone/repro/homage gun. It's like chasing down an original Shelby American 302 to put in an original 6 cylinder car. It isnt and will never be a GT350 . That said It's not my money, more power to you if that turns your crank, but I dont get it. |

I paid $175.00 + shipping for my transitional bolt catch about 8 years ago and that was paying up for it at that time.

But there is always someone willing to pay over on Gunbroker is all I was meaning lol. Never said they were Real Valuable, just that I could get good $$$ for them since they were free for me and plenty more sitting in bags & boxes so no telling what I have until I look them all over. |

Wow. That’s an insane hammer price.

I get the desire to clone, but not at that level. I guess some people will look at their clone and bask in the part by part authenticity. My clones are just clone-ish. But at the end of the day, it’s not my money. 😁

However, it ended up bugging me that I KNEW the internal parts were not original. I ended up sourcing Edgewater buffers and all original, period correct, internal parts for them as well 😝 |

People probably thought I was crazy when I paid $930 for an intact Colt XM177E2 magwell on GB. I wonder what it would sell for now. Glad I purchased it when I did. All these vintage parts are drying up!
|
|

Holy crap!
I paid $10K for a registered transferable re-weld XM16 marked receiver |
|

|
Someone's getting an NPB strike...
That ain't getting paid for, 100% guaranteed. |

What approximate year(s) are these pieces supposed to be cloning?
Couldn't you just go buy a 1960s/70s Colt SP1 somewhere and just swap the receiver out for a full-clone-marked receiver? It'd basically have all 'nam date specific parts, instead of buying each part for hundreds apiece. |

And early SP1s aren’t common or cheap either
