Wanted: Canadian C1 SMG Mags

[rob love]

Sorry, but no. I have a friend in the surplus business who may well have them, but I won't be out there until spring.

It was worth a shot... if I found everything I'm looking for all at once it would take away all the fun of looking.

Thanks guys for helping out... was able to get 4 mags and a binocular case for my collection.... cheers!

Did you buy those mags from McSherries? I was at the auction and noted someone had a very high proxy bid on them.

I did get them there.... cost me about $40 each plus the government share... did you bid me up? lol

Can't remember if I bid on those or not. But the auctioneer was leaving his page of proxy bids right out in the open on top of the table where everyone could see them. It included a photo of what the bid was on, the max bid offered, who and where was making the offer. So I guess it would have been possible to run someone up, but since I was there to buy, and not a seller, there would not have been much point in that.

I saw a bunch of them at the Calgary gun show last weekend, and they were at $70 each, so it sounds like you did OK.

I was told they had way more than what was shown in the pictures online. I had asked about a few other items but they had no idea what I was talking about so I had to circle them in a picture and send it back to them. After the auction they said not everything even got to the audience and they still have a ton of stuff stored away for another event.

I hope you were able to score a few nice toys at a decent price for your collection..!

Hardly seems like a fair auction, more like a cash sale at that point.
