Transferable M2 Carbine Trigger Housing

What is a transferable stripped M2 Carbine Trigger housing worth?

Registered, NON-SOT individual, currently in SE Arizona.

No other parts, just a registered M2 housing.

Last I've seen was about $4000.

Where did you see it, Shaggy?

Sturmgewehr.com

I sawanother one a couple days ago for $5500 there but it was a registered receiver C&R gun, so its obviously a little more expensive than a registered trigger pack.

Funny... the entire rifle goes for $5500 or so, complete, yet the stripped housing is $4500.

Silly laws, 1986 FOPA poison pill bit I guess.

ThirdRail - the difference is because the trigger group is not considered a C&R whereas the complete gun for $5500 was a C&R. A C&R machinegun is available to people in a few more states (in a few states MGs are prohibited unless C&R) and as C&R's they can go interstate directly to the holder of a C&R license rather than going through an FFL/SOT in the buyers state.

Gotcha. I didn't think an M1 carbine to convert was $1k+...

FWIW I sold it for $4000.
Oh well it was fun while I had it.

Did you sell it to a SOT or another individual?

I've been looking for one of those.

The gentleman is currently waiting for the new fiscal year and his new SOT.
