Hi all have a chance to buy a real mk23 with ussocom marking. Checked all numbers and confirmed that it is one of the few in civilian hands. The only down fall is the price. Just wanted some info from you all. Is it that rare and is it worth an arm and a leg?

10k

Ouch.

Do you really want the gun or do you really want the words engraved on it?

Because you are paying a 8.5K penalty for those words.

Edit: I own a Mk23 marked Mk23... it is my go-to suppressor host for 45. But it is an outdated design and it is the size of a small house. If you want options like lights and lasers and a more common thread pitch, you are better served getting a newer host.

I understand but I like things in my collection that not many others have. Just want to be sure I can find someone like me down the road if I wanted to sell it

I would say that unless you got money or an excellent paying job I would pass on that one.
A standard Mark 23 and a bunch other HK's would be my choice if I had 10K to spare.
The Socomm marked gun would be a collectors gun, but not many would know what it is.
For 10K I doubt that its going to gain in value for that price anytime soon.
I think I saw a Socomm about two months ago for 7K or 8K and thought that was a little high.

i have a hard time imagining you're gonna find someone down the road that wants to spend 10k on that gun.

unless you can find some precident for that value hard pass

For that money buy a PSG1 and a regular MK23.

At that price it is a complete and utter rip off. 2K is the highest you should ever pay for a MK23 anything beyond that you are getting surprise sexed big time.

10k is as far down the road as I would expect that to get.
But it's just money.

not worth it unless super rich.

For the price of a transferable? No way.

I am happy with my new one for $1800.
Unless you are speculating on additional upside, I wouldn't touch it.
BTW- I was told recently that there was a couple of those for sale in the $3500 range. I didn't pay much attention to the conversation as I wasn't interested in one.

There were a bunch of those slides and barrels that made it to gunbroker in the last 5 years. If I remember correctly you could buy the slide, the send your Mark 23 with the Mk23 slide to HK and they'd re-assemble the new slide and cover it under warranty.

Are those slides on the rare side? yes. Are there more than a few? Absolutely. I don't think it's a $10k package but it should still have a premium.
