    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
     
    I saw someone on the FB clone page grabbed two.
     
    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.

    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.
     
    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.
