$14,500 flemming sear sold in a day......the craziness continues

[rhouston8]

Scott,

I concur on all your points. I'd take the sizeae paper loss today if it meant I could buy new MGs at the nearly same cost as PDs, etc. Like you, my collection would rapidly grow. Agree also on the hosts+ammo+acc. stockpile approaching the amount spent on the NFA items themselves.

Are steel RDIASs really going for over $14,500? If so, I guess I feel better about the $11,800 I spent on mine 8 months ago (just got the transfer finally approved).

Vette,

Steel DIAS asking prices have been as high as $18,000- $20,000 in the last couple months for some reason. And they appear to be selling briskly at or near those levels. I'm not saying they are "worth it" or whatever, just saying that their prices have been on a tear lately . Crap, there was one dude who had a WTB ad for a steel Dias stating straight up that he'd PAY $18k for one. That's unusual. So yes, they are running much higher than your purchase price. Congrats on your paper gain! Seems HK sears have gone up too but not as briskly as the RDIAS. I know of 4 separate recent RLL purchases in the last couple mo. , all at $7,750 ...for reference.

Damn, those are crazy prices. I wonder why they have jumped up so drastic recently?

Id rather buy 5 gorgeous 2,000 dollar firearms and suppress them all for that kind of money. Realistically, with a nice trigger, proper trigger control and being stabilized properly just about anyone can shoot modern semi's really fast. You see that video of the geissele sd3g trigger firing 475 rounds a min in semi? Even if most guys cant get those numbers, you should expect to see at least 300 which is plenty for any defense purposes

For any requirement (i.e. hunting, self defense etc.) that a shoulder fired weapons is needed for most everyone here, semi is fine. The bottom line, like nice cars (yuck I am a 4x4 person), art, polo or any other hobby type item, full auto is for the gun of it, nothing more or nothing less.

P.S. If one ads a little armor and several belt guns, then for really bad zombies, nothing less is really called for ... but I tend to spray for zombies along with grubs, ants, crabgrass and other things that chemistry is better in handling.....

As it should be. There are a lot more HK type sears available than RDIAS setups. Compared to the Fleming/Qualified sears there are relatively few RDIAS packages. Less product, more money.

Currently I've got eleven roller locked hosts with seven more being built and six parts sets sitting at the house waiting their turn. Each one of those firearms can have my Fleming sear added to be a (sub)machinegun. That is why a registered sear is so expensive. Over 90% of those hosts are pistols. I don't have to deal with 922(R) and spend $4,400 in Tax Stamps. With the savings in Tax Stamps, my sear is a real bargain.

To me full auto isn't about shooting fast, it is about concentrating on hitting the targets while the gun automatically shoots fast. I hear the slide fire stock can come close to the speed of full auto. But some of your attention must be focused on the manipulation of the firearm. I like that I don't have that distraction. I've also noticed that with a semi auto I'm moving my trigger finger which induces movement into the gun. The slide fire requires quite a bit of movement. I'd think that would have an effect on accuracy.

The world would have to go "Really" nuts for me to have to use my machineguns to defend my home. But the wife on the water cooled belt fed to keep their heads down, and I'll pick them off when they pop up seems like a good plan. Otherwise we are holding up in the back bed room and calling 911. Most of my guns are toys. Powerful toys the demand a great deal of respect, but toys none the less.

Before I bought my first full auto, I was planning to get one. So I bought a Beta C mag for when that day came. In my semi my finger would get tired pulling the trigger 100 times. The first time I ran the Beta C I can remember thinking "I hope this mag runs out soon". "My finger is getting sore." The six seconds of full auto fun from a Beta C always brings a smile to my face. Is full auto for everyone? Absolutely not. I, for one, think it is great. But that is just my personal opinion. YMMV.

I own one and can shoot my ar15 almost as fast as a factory m16. Honestly..... it's hard to tell the difference.
