Seller left a wee bit of coin on the table.

wow, that's a good deal.  I sold my BW-5FS a couple years ago for a little more than three times that amount.

Did you give the seller a reach around, he did give you a few banana clips to boot!

Helluva deal

Clones can be finicky..  but at that price, you can fix pretty much anything and still be ahead of the game.

I saw the ad but you had already jumped it.

When I sold mine, I got $1600. Good buy OP!

Lol at the NY'er who wanted thirds on it. It is not safe, cuomo said so.

I thought Bobcat Weapons was AKA Special Weapons which are prone to all sorts of issues. Not saying that's the case here, but there may be a reason it's so low...

that's what I read when I bought mine, but it ran like a top when using HK mags.

This. Toad was not known for quality guns.

That seller obviously doesn't care about getting top dollar, or didn't know what values were correct.

He also sold a Remington 700 at the same time.  Gave almost zero details, but the picture showed what looked like a blued receiver, blued bull barrel, and set in a McMillan A5 with adjustable cheekpice, with a mounted one piece base.

For $700.




He currently has another really good deal.... a 300winmag, in a manners stock, with a nice rail system, bipod, and throwing in a pelican 1750 for $1250.

That was my thought, looks like I can get quite a few German parts in this thing and still be under what they usually retail for.

If it runs, you got a great deal.

If it is like many of a certain builder's bubba-fucked partial-clone-abortion guns, expect to start pouring money into it as if it were a boat.

That's my fear; NFA, optic and tac light are going to cost me more than the gun.

Worry first about out of spec barrel, chamber flutes, and bolt / bolt carrier issues.

I don't know much about mp5 clones other than that they can be pricey and that I've always wanted one just for the cool factor. When I first saw the price in the ad I thought it may be a misprint or perhaps it was a gsg22 in disguise or worst case, one of those too good to be true scenarios. Sure enough it was chambered in 9mm and since the seller and I were both in TX I've already got it in my hands. I couldn't be happier that it worked out, now I've got to go throw some lead down range!

Nah stick a German extractor with a 223 German extractor spring and that fixes 95% of the issues with a German mag.

They were like $900 new a few years ago. But it was a good deal given current prices.

I almost got the gun out of his other ad. He said someone replied at the same time as me with an actual I'll take it while I was asking questions.

Live and learn I guess. Seller is a nice guy tho.

I bought a BW5 early on........had lots of extraction/ejection issues.........

Threw a HK extractor/spring, and clipped/pinned lower with a modded FBI ambidextrous pack on it, and it never missed another beat........

Ran 124gr Winchester Q4318 thru it almost exclusively.......

750 is a smokin deal.....that's stripped-receiver price......everything else is "gravy"......
