Yea it's kinda like watching every Winchester seller glueing the word rare on every item.

If you really want to see the word "Rare" - put Ideal Mold into your browser for eBay ... especially tong tools that I'd use only for anchor weights

He is probably the same guy that is parting out antique Marlin and Winchester repeaters, also.


I know one of the sellers who is selling complete guns parted out on Ebay. I had the opportunity to buy a couple of them, but just didn't want them. In the end he got much more by parting out the guns, than what he was asking for them complete and several gun shows. It's hard to fault the guy when nobody wants to buy them cheap, so he parts them out.
I wish I had deep enough pockets to save every one of them, but the market seems to be better for them as parts.

Saw a Italian M1 clone on Gun Broker that had the Original Arsenal Grease in the action

Imagine all those years "Original" grease, be worth double to me. Store it in the Shop Fridge, so it won't melt out and ruin the value

Some collectors specialize in originality, and go to extremes to keep even dirt and grime in place. I have a friend who was showing me the Rolling Block military rifle that came from Egypt, and was giddy that when he pulled the buttplate during inspection he found the recess full of sand! He told me he carefully poured it out on a sheet of paper, and during reassembly he poured it back into the stock recess! That's really getting serious in my opinion!
