| Hi, I am looking for WWII modelguns for dirt cheap. My budget isn't really big, so I am looking for the rejects, broken, or unwanted models. Looking for preferably a Thompson (long shot), grease gun, m1 or m2 carbine, P08 luger, or a P38. Doesn't have to be in firing condition, just needs to be cheap. Thank you | |

| I can only echo Richard's comments, dirt cheap is almost unheard of (sadly) Also the broken ones will need spare parts to repair which are becoming rarer and more expensive these days. If you intend buying a model to repair back to working condition, best to make sure parts and cartridges are available for them before you part with your cash. If you are after non-firing replicas for display, certain parts may not be as vital though. _________________ Cerwyn

Please define "dirt cheap" :-) Make some research - take a look at prices in "Buy an Sell" sections. Offers that you see here (collector to collector) are usually much lower than in shops. | |

| When I say "dirt cheap" I mean I'm looking for a non-functioning model (possibly beyond repair) that somebody just wants to get rid of. I know someone who bought an MGC m2 carbine (non-functioning without any accessories) for just $50. | |

| Alright I am looking for a Hudson M3A1 Grease Gun for preferably in the high $100 range into the $200 range. Possibly a non-firing one or something where someone wants to get rid of it. Thank you. | |

| Hi colhesler As a matter of interest, a brand new factory assembled Hudson Grease Gun is available from Francky for $231 so if you're looking at up to $200 for a non-functioning model you may as well go that little further A kit version, which should be less expensive again, was available, it could be worth asking Francky if he's got one try www.franckys-modelgun.com _________________ Cerwyn
