I have a mini rant that's been festering re the Globeco Mohawk 555.
Most feel that they were something of an unfortunate Bubba. The base rifles were apparently Finn capture SA marked SVT-40's. Some would feel that such an original rifle would be rather desirable and rare.
At the time, the Cold War being on etc...the Russians weren't selling us cases of their front line ammo. So, to sell these turkeys, someone decided to re calibre them while sporterizing them..
Globeco removed the barrels and apparently installed an SMLE .303 barrel. The gas port was put way too close to the chamber...leading to too high operating pressures, so I've read. The action cycles too hard.
Also, the story is, the headspace wasn't properly set on them.
All of that being the case, you'd think the things would go for a song, right? I've seen them at gun shows, and people want like $600 bucks or similar for them. Like they're some kind of amazing firearm.
That's why I've never owned one. People want too much for what they are.
As for how much the mag is worth...that's a tough one.
BTW- Does anyone who's ever owned or owns a Mohawk have any anecdotes about it?
