Default Carrier parts for sale

No connection to the seller, if you have an aweful lot of money you can buy some of the parts from him....chap is located in Quebec mind 300 dollars for a wheel is somewhat excessive.....good luck to the guy though

Default Help..!!

I would question this ad..He claims to be stripping a carrier and has a picture posted with the items..the carrier looks like it just drove out of the factory..
and he is selling it part by part..???
Bob Carrier..Track this guy down and stop the carnage,,!!



A GENUINE BREN GUN CARRIER CONTROL ROD ALL DRESSED . EXCELLENT CONDITION, IT WAS SANDBLASTED IN AN INDUSTRIAL SHOP, AFTERWHILE 2 PAINT COATS WERE APPLIED. OVERALL LENGTH IS ABOUT 44", WITH 1/4" DIAMETER, NOT TOO SURE OF THE EXACT USE BUT WAS LINKED TO THE DRIVER PEDALS THEY TOLD ME, ANY EXACT INFOS WELCOME. I WILL BE LISTING OTHER UNIVERSAL CARRIER PARTS IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. I ACQUIRED AN UNIVERSAL CARRIER LATELY, IT IS BEING DISMANTLED (BEING UNCOMPLETE) AND WILL BE SOLD FOR PARTS, TRACKS, ROAD WHEELS, CONTROLS, JUST PUT ME INTO YOUR FAVORITES SELLERS !

If he was to get those kind of prices for the pieces, then that would be the right way to sell any carrier. Heck, there is $2800 just in the road wheels and idlers. By the time he is done the carrier should net him about $40 grand.

Looking at his shipping rates I suspect he will make a few bucks there too, that is, if anybody actually pays these prices.

Default go easy on him.

Hi, The guys only posted that carrier picture as a reference picture, thats not the actual carrier he's stripping, I thought the track he was selling was resonable and the price too, those sprockets look fit for the scrap bin, other parts as well over priced, but if it so happens you need something then you gonna have to pay for it or wait another 10 years for another to be up for sale, not including that wheel he has for sale of course, you can fit out a whole carrier with decent wheels here in the uk for the same money.

kevin.

It would seem to me that if the sprockets are scrap, then the track is not far behind.
