[QUOTE="forindooruseonly, post: 4384663, member: 13718"] I've dealt with Ruben, he is a good guy and honest to his word, however he gets a bad rap because his prices are at the top end of the scale and then his prices drive the market upwards. ETA: Read FullAuto's post below regarding Midwest Tactical - I didn't realize that was the same person so I've deleted my comment calling Midwest Tactical a reputable dealer. Mea Culpa. Both cater to the investment crowd rather than the shooter crowd. I've never dealt with them though, so I don't know if the owner is the same guy that advertises theirs on gunbroker with hopium prices. The best deals I have found recently are on the classifieds of sturmgewehr.com (the old subguns.com) or the machinegun specific forums. However, when something good with a reasonable price gets listed, it gets scooped pretty quick. If you are interested in the Thompson, go to the Thompson specific forum at machinegunboards.com and get yourself educated. There are a number of different models, makers and eras, all at wildly different price levels. A correct 1921 Colt will set you back a bunch, while a West Hurley will be much, much cheaper. In between are the Lend Lease guns, the wartime production guns, police guns, commercial models, and lots of them have had parts changed, leaving mismatched parts in an attempt to make them more desirable. I am in the middle of going down the rabbit hole and getting educated myself. And there are no "great deals" in the machine gun world. If they are listing there, they know what they have. Check the history and verify the images. If it sounds too good to be true, it most certainly is a scam. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
