Interesting lot of what I am guessing are police trade-ins? Maybe imports from overseas? Seller has been adding them all day.

Also lots of magazines.

Not my auctions, just found them interesting.

    The beater Hi Powers seem to be alright.
    Make a good truck gun.

    Israel?

    This FN was made by Browning: http://www.GunBroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=333590155

    I wonder if it's worth more? [:D]

    While I'm guessing that these guns are GTG, it would be nice if he said that guns were tested for functionality. Oh well, what can I say?

    Is this Cole Distributors? I haven't seen them on the auction side for awhile. They've always had lots of surplus CZ's FEG's, Beretta's, etc. They had a good reputation, as far as I know.

    Darn good price on the S&W 9mm!

    Well he's down from 3 pages of listings to 2 pages. So some stuff has sold.

    Temptation for me is the S&W 915 and the Browning Hi-Power. I'm holding off though, because I got a bonus at work and I'm looking at Bushmasters with a certain want'n gaze if'n you take my meaning.

    No, this auction is out of Kentucky. Cole's is in Greenville, Ohio.

    At least one of the HiPowers might have some legal problems.

    Take a look at the right side of the slide just below the ejection port. Sure looks to me like the serial number has been intentionally obliterated. The boys in the black suits don't like that. [xx(] Could it have been some other marking? Would they have put a serial number on the slide as well as the frame?

    Yeah, he has a 339 starting bid and a 339.95 buy now with a reserve! Dumb.[:0][}:)] Those CZ 83 pistols are C&R eligible, right?

    AFAIK, the slide can say whatever you want it to say. Serial number, for that gun, is on the frame.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I understand it.

    That has to be Coles. Last I heard Mr. Cole was recovering from being shot. He had a good 20 pages of handgun listings all at reasonable prices. When the madness started he got overwhelmed.

    All his guns were Israeli, either issued or confiscated.
    I believe Israel went all Glock and dumped all other brands.


    Tip if you want Hi Power, get one with a solid trigger pin. He had a ton there with roll pins in place of the solid trigger pin.

    Either it was easier to replace a roll pin when the guns were reparked or the gun's frames were so warped that a roll pin is the the only pin that will work.

    I bought the reparked one on the Far Right from Coles last year:

    Slide is re-numbered. Make sure you read the descriptions really carefully. I like the MK3 HI Powers for their factory ramped barrels, dovetailed sights, and ambi-safety.

    Well I would have been overwhelmed by temptation eventually and bought at least one of his pistols but my budget took an overnight whammy here. Not sure how it happened, but this morning I see that I won this Bushmaster on GB:

    Been bidding on dozens of these things and kept getting outbid. Guess the other bidders must have taken a break!
