Hobbyfix model of Howa Type 64 rifle.

Haven't seen this one yet:

Type 64 is a modern (1964) rifle used in Japan:

Green book seems to be a reprint of an original rifle manual.

Current price is over 200 000 yen (~2400 USD).

I spotted this one as well...if there's a good one locally I'll take it no matter what ...

Sold at 380 000 yen (~4600$), with 63 bidders.

...love it - but not at such level...

I'll pay a little bit more for this if I'm legally entitled: http://www.deactivated-guns.co.uk/deactivated-guns/modern-deactivated-guns/deactivated-enfield-made-heckler-koch-mp5-old-spec/prod_1094.html

There goes "no matter what" ;-D
Price probably reflects that this piece is unique. I did not expect it to go so high though. This is now the most expensive model I've seen.

Deactivated MP5 looks great, and with SAS usage it's even more interesting :-)

The MP5 is really nice indeed, but for 2500€ I buy a real (working) one!!

That's why I stated "locally" (in HK) - I don't want the guns to be tempered with by Customs on both side and also the risks of losing it somewhere after I paid premium prices for this precious bid (without mentioning extras on postage & handling)...

And most importantly: men tell lies ...

Normal price for new German MP5 I've learnt stands at ~USD $5000 and recently released Chinese one "NR08" cost half of it...but now somebody "snatched" it so forget it...

Not a good sign to see so many precious old-spec deacts released from private hands recently - either even average British needs cash desperately (so do the government - selling off Royal Mail) or old-spec deacts are to be totally outlawed very soon...

Talking about a locally available Hobby Fix: when I was out in the gun shops a couple of days before Christmas, a pre-owned M4A1 fitted with real KAC "skeleton" handguard for sale (on consignment) with price tag HKD$16,000 (USD $2,056)...

Holding it on my hands, although a nice one but quite a lot of heavy scratch marks on it as well (notably area under "AUTO" stamped on the selector switch and under the bolt cover plate - then lighter pits on other areas) - then Hobby Fix problem: the corners circled with red are too sharp which I believe not the case on real steel:



Declined the offer in the end...
