Mk13 mod 5 takeoff stock arrived. Anyone else?

[FUNCTIONAL]

I snagged one of the thoroughbred armament mk13 mod 5 takeoff packages and was wondering if anyone else got in on it?

Mine arrives thursday or friday. Very excited

 

[Toftwo]

I saw someone on the FB clone page grabbed two.

 

[Random Guy]

I heard about those kits today, oh well...

 

[bildoe308]

Hopefully more come up for sale

Welp...usps beat their initial estimate by 5 days. Picked her up today.

Anyone have any info on this? Not many markings or numbers. Definitely used. Will need to source a butt pad also it seems.

My 2 came in. One had an IMUNS

 

[molonlave]

These are awesome! If anyone is willing to part with a kit, send me a PM.

Apparently all sold in less than an hour once posted. I heard about it two days after all sold....

Very nice. Curious on the history on the painted one. How long it take to get your barrels in?

 

[Niles]

They shipped the day i ordered them. I called lilja and they were already turning barrels for them that very day

If anyone missed out, hit me up. I really needed another case, but I might let the stock and rail go.

 

[Niles]

Thoroughbred has more available

 

[hellishot]

Good deal. Thanks for the heads up!

What an I not understanding? Cause I see a case and beat chassis for $2k+

These have Navy Seal pecker tracks all over them. Mostly on the cheek pieces I would guess.

Just thought the same thing.

Back in 2007 or so, McMillan sold the used M40A1 “return stocks” for I think around $230 plus $20 shipping. Some guys only saw an antiquated old “beat stock” and passed. Other guys saw a unique piece of USMC history with provenance and bought them.

Ten to twelve years later the old take-off M40A1 “return stocks” sell for 5x to 10x what they cost when released. Demand is still high, but supply is extremely limited - to basically non-existent.

As for today’s Mk 13 Mod 5 take-off stocks, some see a “beat chassis” and old case, but others see a unique piece of Navy Surface Warfare/Navy SEAL history with providence (correction: provenance)...

The supply of take-off military Mk 13 Mod 5 chassis is very limited and likely to soon be basically zero. Given the higher starting price I wouldn’t expect much appreciation, but I expect these items sold by the vendor with NSW provenance will at least hold their value for those who want to replicate/clone that rifle.

In other words, me thinks history is likely to repeat itself about the value of such things with military-service provenance. Just say’n...

Well said. It’s a collectors item.

Yup...absolutely not for everyone. I don't see it mutch different then people who collect swords, books, coins, memorabilia, etc. You buy the history not the item.
