I am in too if they are under 1000. I would pay for VG quality, though.

Do the kits come with the FA selector parts as they would make a nice faux fun switch to fill the hole in the stock with?

Mr. Wolverine,
Thank you for posting this. This is in my opinion, a more than fair price for a USGI M14 Parts kit. This kind of a deal is just amazing and I will be looking forwards to seeing what comes in, the closer we get to the date.
If this works out for you, would you consider looking around for more parts kits, off other firearms (M16's, M2 Carbine, etc) if another lot becomes available?
Very interested.

I'm in, I can't wait for them to show up.
I am always on the look out for these kind of deals but they occur less and less frequently. Often the government red tape makes things extremely awkward and expensive. When shipments have to have police escorts to be moved, when airlines charge excessive charges for shipping firearms, when shipping agents fail to understand what documents are required it all adds to the expense. Delays and storage fees can cost a fortune, factor in a few damaged items or rusty bores and the profit is gone. I got really excited recently when I was offered a warehouse full of old Lee Enfields, price was a little high for the huge quantity I was offered but I hardly slept that night! Next day I received the photos, when I saw them I considered then scrap, not even worthy the shipping cost. I dream on, may be one day!!
There are also lots of scams, I remember back in "the old days" in the UK, when I was offered a job lot, two crates of WWII US surplus handguns, found in the back of a warehouse. The seller was surprized when I called him long distance (long before fax machines) and questioned him about the guns, he got a little nervous when I said I would jump in the Land Rover and drive to London and collect them, I had the cash and the licence. This deal was offered to me by an old established dealer who had traded in surplus guns since the end of the war, or so he claimed! I called his bluff when he described the guns as "Colt model one nine eleven A ones".
Very interested in a couple of parts kit if the price is right, preferably TRW or Winchester.
What's the price and what condition will they be in?
When do you think you can get these in?

Slightly off topic... are the F/A Connector Arms prohibited here in Canada? Not the switch or internals, just the arm. If they came with the connector arms I might be in on one to help rebuild an ol'gal with a civie receiver and some badly worn parts (she was F/A a long time ago **and** for those interested, has been registered as N/R under the LGR in the past)
