I want a tan 300B so bad. I have for a long time, too. One of these days.

In the absence of a plan, move toward the sound of gunfire and kill everything.
If it aint a clone or the gun being cloned, it aint shit. |

I'm hoping to either trade into the Mk6 with a little cash on top, or sell it and pick up one via Leupold's Mil/LEO program, which is pretty damn good. I'd prefer the VCOG, I just don't want to spend $2k+ on one. If DSG were to run that $1500 VCOG sale again, I'd be all over it. Pic thread (whole lots of FDE in this one ): |

I can tell you that it can take them a damn long while at times to finally ship through those programs though...so be warned. VCOGs can still regularly be had new or like new for under $1800. I wouldn't weigh it out. If your Elcan is marked like this... ...you still may be able to trade it for a VCOG plus cash. Even if it's a civi Elcan, I'd still think you could find a similar trade with the right person. Sorry. Love me some Mk6, but really love me some VCOG. |

The uppers are serial number engraved to match the lowers. Of the five, one was for STT, one went to an admin, which leaves 3. Of those three, one is the FDE one set up as a precision rig. One is Tungsten, set up more for CQB/ run and gun/ patroling/ zombies etc.. The last one is serial #001, is black, and will probably be given away. Regarding being almost done with the collection, I barely havw anything over at the Stick compound! You should feel bad for me!! I don't even personally own a 203!!! |
