Heads Up: Smoke Discharger Lever and Cable

[rob love]

I loaned out my original barrel nut to a couple guys who had them copied. The machine work amounted to around $180 a nut.

Back in the day, the discharger tubes used to get seized by Canada Customs as controlled goods. They are now exempt due to their age, so it would be great if these were to come to market.

I have seen complete or near complete sets sell here for from between $250 to $500. There is some pretty good room for markup over the $50 purchase price.

I am torn.... I actually have several sets - my HAC has 2 and I have one for my carrier project..... I don't need anymore personally.

But I am so close to the guy as to make me the logical person to go over and get things,

Like I said, he can't be bothered to dig out a few....

Even if he dropped the (very cheap) price of 50 a set to half... that is close to $8,000.00 to buy him out...

I can't imagine getting more than 30 -40 sets..

Last ones I sent to the UK needed $100 each in machine shop work to weld a wire int he bore to make them "de-activated" and I don't know what all else non-US collectors would need to have done to them for legal import.

I have had several folks PM me about getting some, but this would need to rise to the level of a group buy. I may run a "plan B" by the fellow to try to buy 50 sets, but I would hate to tie up people's money waiting for me to get my hands on them. I would rather see someone higher up the foodchain with deeper pockets take over...

Well unfortunately I checked my supply out in the shed and in the gunroom and only managed to find a couple of the cables. I know I have more, but I have no idea where.

Sorry guys.
