I just saw an ad for new made SEY hardbacks, so watch out guys.

IMHO $100 is kinda high for a NIW Hardback, though I have seen them sell for close to that price. In the last year, I bought a NIW SEY Hardback for well less than half that,but that one might be luck. I don't buy USGI 30-rounder splitbacks, including new ones, for more than $35 tops and Hardbacks for more than $50...and I have bought a good number since I started collecting them a little over a year ago. Better deals are out there if you keep your eyes open. Your mileage may vary.

Thank you, all! Any way to tell the new from originals?GK

I think $50 is a bargain. I see them go for $75 and up to over $100, and they sell.

Nowhere in that ad does it state they are hardbacks.

Nowhere in that ad does it state they are hardbacks.

And a C-note plus shipping for a splitback, even if it is NIW, is a little.....extravagant.

I can only relay to the OP my personal experience as well as the limit I would personally pay for a USGI 30-rounder.

Bill, thanks again for all the help you have given me to set me on the right path on magazines, etc.

I'm still looking for he ad that had the hardbacks. Its around here somewhere (unless the wife threw it out!). I was really surprised when I looked at it and it said "Hardback". You don't forget that kind of thing.
