Thanks for the edumacation bro!

I've seen SEVERAL 'kitchen table' conversions that you are talking about. I've even seen some Colt's that had the sear pin set to high as well. Granted they were all SP1 conversions.

You're not joking at all about the market being stagnated. The past 3 years prices have just about hovered (in the same general ball park at least). When I was first thinking about getting into a MG, my wife and I had sold our house, so I was thinking about getting an MP5 or an M16. There was a 3-pin R/R RTDS-MP5-SD6 that the dood wanted 18k for, and thats just about what I can still get the same gun for now (and that was about 3 years ago).. The MP5-SD and A Frankfort Ars. M16 with the triangle 20" upper, a 6" .22 upper and a 14.5" M4 upper and a crap ton of mags at $10k flat, had me torn... My wife ended up convincing me not to buy either...damn it... So last year I told her that a SMG was in our future, so she let me get a MAC 10/45. She doesn't know about the Colt M16 Im thinking about buying.. Nor will she until she opens the safe one day and see's it :-)...

When it comes to M16's..... Nothing speaks as loud as a Colt lower. Although at this point in time, I would KILL for a Sendra lower! :-)
