The one I'm looking at is a pre-ban, Colt collapsible-stock, w/flash-suppresor and 12-magazines. Not a post-ban w/muzzle brake & one mag.

Blowback. You should see them bumpfire!!!
The COLT magazines sell for $100 (20rd) each and $139 (32rd)at recent guns shows. I have one seen 2 for sale since 1999. I got mine back in 1995, but the magazines are almost impossible to find. Slightly modified UZI mags work okay, but the bolt won't stay back. |

Get a 2 piece magwell adapter from Brownells and modify it to use $2 Sten mags from TAPCO!!! I have done this with the help (instructions) from several other board members here!! If you need or want the instructions email me and I can send them to you. It can be done with only hand tools and a Dremel and the money you save will be huge.

Quoted: The one I'm looking at is a pre-ban, Colt collapsible-stock, w/flash-suppresor and 12-magazines. Not a post-ban w/muzzle brake & one mag. If you have a chance to buy a preban Colt for $1,400 you shouldn't be thinking about it. |

Why don't you give me this guy's contact information and I will set him straight. [;)] Remember when these "pre-ban" 9mm were around $500 brand new????? [:(] |

[beer] I think my Colt takes Sten mags too. But they do not hold back the bolt when empty. Neither does an MP5, an UZI, or an AK-47. No one complains about those. For $100 per mag I would rather save the $98 and not have it myself!! If you Colt will take Sten mags the original Colt mags should not work because the Stens are much deeper. [beer] |

Quoted: what about those south african mags that cdnn sells cheap? I understand those are UZI knock offs and can be modified to work the same as an UZI mag. You would still use the normal unmodified magwell adapter for those, on a Colt 9mm system. [beer] |

It so happens I was in the local cop shop / range/gunshop today and the subject of ARs came up. I had been shooting my .22lr upper indoors. The proprietor comes out and says, well you guys gotta see this. A green label 9mm preban mint condition carbine with collapsible stock and original box and manual, that looked brand new with 20 and 32 rd mags. Said it will not leave the store for less than 2200. He said a local police chief traded it in. Has the original receipt from the original dealer as well. Apparently this rifle was only made for two years in this configuration and originally MSRPd for $695.
