    I am still alive, not really kickin, but still amongest the livin.
    Friday they did a procedure, then Monday morning the put me under to put a tube from kidney to bladder, I really have been thru some pain in my day, but let me tell you, I think everyone in the hospital heard me, they put Dilaudid in the IV, I already had me fyentanl patch, but I will tell you, I am not ashamed to tell you I was crying, begging for them to give me something, they tried morphine, I was still hurting bad, then they tried oximorphine, I was pretty scared and wishing they could stop the pain, they put a bottle of TYLENOL IV. if, I don't know if it was all the drugs, or the last, from the time it started, till I was put to sleep my blood pressure was from the top to the bottom. After I was about to leave post op, I was told it was a bladder spasm. When I was in so much pain, the nurse came over, they were doing the rebound check, put in then release quick, I damn near left the gurny, to hear them talking, they were prepping a OR, they thought I was bleeding. I am stuck in the bed, moving slower than a snail, to have my back pain driving me crazy, but to go thru this, it was a hell of a lot worse than kidney stones, but I still have the stones for now, they a going to try to get them on the 21.

    Spent hours in surgery - it was a mess

    They got the tumor out - I had to get a colonostomy bag

    Horrible pain and muscle spasms - can't get out of bed.

    The pain is so bad - so strong.

    A bored mind is a terrible thing to waste, so having some free time to kill, I finally put together a fact sheet on the true production ratios and DOMs for the Winchester Model 1894. As many of you will undoubtedly note, the figures I have below vary significantly from the numbers published by George Madis in his tomes "The Winchester Book" and "The Winchester Handbook". All of my figures were derived from a detailed survey (conducted by the Cody Firearms Museum) of the first 353,999 serial number records. Unfortunately, all of the remaining pre-64 factory warehouse records were lost in a fire in the early 1960s, and undoubtedly many of the ratios would change drastically if the records were available for serials 1 - 2,600,011. The Polishing Room records (which contain nothing more than just the serial number) survive up to serial 1,343,183 which was in the year 1942. For those of you who collect the Model 1894, this should be very useful information, and I highly encourage everyone to save a copy of it.Production ratios for the first 353,999 Model 1894s made:4:5 (78.19%) were Rifles (276,780)1:5 (21.20%) were Saddle Ring Carbines (75,075)1:2 (45.92%) was a 30 W.C.F.

The Polishing Room records end at number 1,343,183, which is listed as the last Model 94 serial number recorded in 1942 (sorry, I don't have the exact date).

    I stopped reading when I got to this part: quote:It is a Century Arms receiver with ALL REAL HECKLER AND KOCH parts. If this is true, then the rifle is not compliant with the ASSAULT WEAPON BAN and is worth $10,000 and/or 10 years in a federal semi-privite cell sweet.

    It's worth at least $100.00 to me. I'd pay more but got turned off by the Portugese magazines. Beach

    I have seen these rifles before,..but as Kimber said,..they will have a few other parts that are US made to comply. Even though the other parts are HK factory,..the rifle itself will sell with the accessories for maybe $1200-$1400 if there is a buyer. keep in mind that a collector can get the "real" HK91 for a smidge over $2000-$2200 in 98% condition.

    why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....

    If the bayo will fit on the rifle, someone has either bought a century receiver and done a "home build" or hacked up a Century gun ... either way its illegal ... I'll echo JustC estimate $1200-$1400

    quote: If you aint selling it why the long-winded description that sounds EXACTLY like a sales pitch?
    bartoI'll add, a long-winded description that keeps saying "You get", "When you look at", "And last for you hunters out there", "All you need to do is get a receiver and new cocking tube and you will have ANOTHER COMPLETE RIFLE so your almost getting 2 rifles"

    Sounds like a sales pitch to me ...

    hello its me vaugh99. well i am currently selling this package. and since i can't sell items on this forum i left out where and for sale at what auction site/s. the reason its a sales pitch cause i cut and pasted my sales pitch here from my auction. i didn't want to rewrite the whole thing over again. now i have had lots of ppl asking why i want so much for a century arms rifle. say i am way over priced. but i have tons of hk stuff that comes with it. i think some ppl have no clue what these item indiviudualy cost or want ALOT of something for NOTHING which is what i suspect. i have over 2600.00 in the complete package so far. i wanted to see how far off i am on my asking price and posted here for some answers. this gun was imported to the USA and is 100% compliant no laws broken here. i didnt put it together if you read i sad is a centruy arms built rifle so i dont know where you got this from. i will not post my asking price which is was less than i have in it cause i dont want any admins yaking it thinking i am tring to sell it here. i need real sound accestment. thank you very much for the ppl who took me seriously and took ther etime to answer truthfuly.

    I was an authorized HK law enforcement dealer for more than a decade so yes, I know what the accessories are worth. You problem is that at the moment none of you HK options are rare or in high demand. In quantites of 100+, HK factory magazines sell at retail for about $3.50 per unit from any number of wholesalers. The 4 power claw mount scopes with illuminator were once a very rare and hard to find items...not any more! Factory light-bipods are about $100 and spare plastic furniture is ALL over the place at give away prices. the SEF trigger pack is a felony waiting to happen if it is modified to fit a clip on lower receiver. Kimberkid knows his HK's as well as anyone on this borad and he has already warned you about the unlawful use of a retractable stock and bayonet on a post ban rifle. You'd probably do better just parting out your accessories because as soon as people read Century Arms HK clone the price in their heads is locked into LOW LOW, no matter how much stuff you pile into the deal!

    In my opinion, He brought this old post back because he knew that there is his spam mesage in it. But didn't want to be viewed as a spammer... JMO. He thought we wouldn't see through it.. At least in my opinion he would have just started a new thread to say hi if he didn't want to spam us in a round about way
