Worth buying a complete carbine just for the IP Receiver?

**painter777** · 02-28-2018 09:58 PM

Recently after seeing what a complete IP trigger housing went for
And after seeing what a complete IP bolt sold for

Can't help but wonder if this carbine is worth the asking, just because of the IP Receiver?

$1699.77

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Consider the condition and value of the other parts. Minus that from the $1,700. Is the receiver worth that amount to you.

If it's close, might be worth a trip to see what some of the othe markings are. Push safety with a type three band? Maybe the housing stayed intact, even if from another maker.

Since it appears to have Korean on the butt of the stock one would assume it's an import. If so then the value as a rebuilt import is no where near the sale price.

Receivers are easy. You just hand over the money because several are always available. Barrels are not easy. Trigger groups are not easy. Stocks are not easy

its like finding a radiator cap for a Duesenberg, where do you find the rest of it?

**cali201** · 03-02-2018 07:37 AM

Did you see the carbine in person to see it says Irwin Pedersen and not Saginaw Gear (S'G')??

Cabela's milsurp prices are grossly inflated. No Blue Sky carbine is worth $1700.
Highly unlikely one of the 3,542 carbine receivers IP managed to make in the 3 months of production would turn up at Blue Sky and not be recognised as such either.
The link is dead too. Goes to Cabela's but not to a carbine.
