Lookee what I found... ;)

So I'm helping a buddy today sort through an estate of a guy (who I didn't know) that died a few years ago. Most of it is junk. All of a sudden I spy a box of old gun parts. On loser inspection, most of the bits are odds and sods beat up surplus American M16 parts and various Lee Enfield sporter parts (nothing prohib and no receivers). But then I spot a complete M16 bolt carrier group in decent condition with some finish wear.

I got the complete bolt group

Now I need to figure out of I should sell it or keep it for a future build. The word "unobtainium" comes to mind...

For those who don't know, this seems to be a Diemaco-made M16 bolt group, probably one used by Colt in the States on a US Gov contract back in the 80's. Identical to current CF issue. Bolt is a proper MPC.

Damn that's pretty cool! Amazing what you find in storage sometimes eh?

 

[Claven2]

Yup, and worth quite a bit to a Colt Canada/Diemaco fan

If that's the case, sell it and buy something new that will suit your needs. It's a BCG, no better or worse than any other quality milspec BCG that's on the market. It would hold little glamour to me.

Neat find under the circumstances, though.

damn nice pickup...definitely a sweet piece to complement any C7 or C8 replica build...

Calling Rebel Rouser, calling Rebel Rouser, some one has Diemaco parts.

Cool find,it isnt worth anything to me but the cool factor is still there.

Whoa yeah, lucky find. If it is valuable, I'd totally sell it to a collector who loves it, and use the cash to buy a new one and then some.

 

[Claven2]

Good points all. Will post it on the EE and see what happens

Wonder how many rounds that bad boy has cycled? That finish looks rough!

 

[Claven2]

No idea. Judging by the stuff that was with it, I suspect us army surplus so who knows?

Functionally it's sound and not beat up, but there is finish wear from firing and probably a lot of cleaning. If nobody buys it, I'll re-park it and use it in a future build.
