The context is that King's Firearms in Tennessee has a bunch of retro parts for sale. He says they are all SP1 uppers (large pivot pin hole), but a variety of barrel markings, and stock assemblies including modern buffers and some with edgewaters.
If anyone is in his area, he welcomes someone to come fish through the pile! (I'd go if he were closer.) |

Y'all PayPal me some gas money and I might be willing to make a trip.

If I was close I'd drop in for you guys, KyGun is closer than I am.

The description on the uppers of "early Airforce" "never issued" and "donated to a California Police Department" gives evidence that the uppers are mil-spec and not SP1 spec (front pivot pin hole size of 0.25").
I looked at the Facebook page pic of the uppers and a few have a slotted screw for the front pivot pin. This would be SP1 spec and the larger than mil-spec front pivot pin hole. Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |

I wish the prices were not as high but still a great deal. I love the three prong flash hider. I need to put one of those on my builds. Maybe two. |

Harlan NoDak Spud LLC In the pictures with the 3 prong uppers, I see at least one upper that still has the SP1 type slotted pivot pin in it, I'm guessing that they probably are all SP1 uppers. |

They do not have any "VP" marked barrels. I'm trying to work out a deal on ten or twenty barreled uppers. If it works out, I will "share the love" with my fellow arfcom members. I tried to make arrangements to drive down tomorrow, but they are not willing to have any "visitors" look at what they have until the end of next week. I hate trying to work a deal like this without actually handling the barreled uppers. |

when you say they won't allow visitors until the end of next week do you mean Friday June3? So is this guy selling by email first before he lets other people see the stuff in person?

His prices were outrageous for a SP1 upper IMO, $649 + shipping.
I inquired about one of the Type D stock assemblies with Edgewater buffer for $100 + shipping. He come back saying that they were only available with the purchase of a upper. His description on the picture sure did not clarify that, then told me they were $200 + shipping without a upper. Which I realize the Edgewater buffer is worth that, but be clear in your description. |

ill take them all email sent! Damn! Dear Santa (HKIILLER), all I want for Christmas is, one or two of the uppers . . . maybe four of them. I promise to brush my teeth daily and be nice to old people that are crossing the street. I will actually hit my breaks. 
Did you really email and say you will take them all? |

Was there today only a hour away. Wayne is very nice guy and seems to know his stuff. Retro there is real deal. And he appears to have some good (great ) sources. All butt stocks with edgewaters gone when I got there I mean sold. Saw a bunch of barreled uppers 50+ most were already spoken for. Did not have time to look through his stock to see what I wanted. But glad I went

I was able to secure a Edgewater bright and early the morning of the 26th but the stock it comes with is unknown to me at this time. I guess I wouldn't mind a Type E stock. Later that day when I checked to see if my order when through Wayne told me that some individual purchased the remaining 50 edgewater buffers w/stocks that he had. As of yesterday afternoon there still are some uppers with MP marked barrels if anyone is concerned. I wouldn't mind another MP barrel but I have no desire for a SP1 upper. It seems (at least on gunbroker) that they just aren't selling for what one would think.
