Ok €300 and I'll throw in an SSG 69

Dread-Lock

By any chance would you be willing to split this lot?

I'm interested in the dummy rounds and the ELCAN sight.

Bemused

How old is it Alvin? From what I have read these AEGs can be problematic - any issues e.g. wear of metal on bipod?

Thanks

Thats most of the price. Buy them and you get a really cheap M249 along with it

Dread-Lock

Yeah only thing is I already have an M249 Para. Otherwise I would have bought the lot .

It's about 2.5 years old. In terms of gaming it's about 30,000 rounds. - Not a whole lot. I found it a tad to heavy for my fat-out-of-condition-ass to drag through ditches so it's been safely stored away.

It does suffer (slightly) from wear on the bipod, as do all of the A&Ks hence their cheap price compared to CA. But because it's not been used much that wear is less.

A&K also suffer from a dodgy hopup unit. I replaced that with a Garder unit.
It shipped with a small type 9V 1000MAH battery for storage in the forgrip giving bugger all playtime.
The wiring loom has been extended to route a 9V 2000MAH crane battery through to the spare space in the box mag which extends the life by about 150% - You will get a weekend out of it at one charge. The battery I am supplying has been reconditiond with a TM battery discharger after every use.

The box mag does not have any faults and has fed all of those rounds without a jam on 8.4V and 9V. It works fine in sound powered and always on modes..

Hope that answers your question.

The SSG I'm adding in has been tested at 1J. I'm supplying a bipod and a spare 25rnd mag.
I bought it to try sniping before investing lots of money in an expensive snipers rifle. Got bored very quickly.

It's a nice piece. I just need the space so I'm toying with what I can get rid off.

Split in what way? You can take the 249 with all of the bits or that and the SSG for 300.

Walsh475

i would be interested alright at 300 is there any zoom on the ECLAN sight?

Yep it's 3X or 4X wide field illuminated Day(red) Night (Green) and neutral (Crosshair)

Alvin T. Grey

Confirmed still up for grabs.

JonnyTwoCombs

If your toying with the idea of spliting this up, I'd be interested in the sight

Alvin T. Grey

I'm trying to sell it as a total package. I don't really need the cash rather than the space it frees up, so if attaching the sight makes the gun easier to sell then I'd rather keep the two together.

If someone wants to take the other items in the package, then I'd be willing to do that, but otherwise unfortunatly no.

Hope you understand.

Bemused

Alvin,

If you "don't really need the cash" I'd be able to offer 200 (can't afford any more) and free up that space for you!

defenderdude

Alvin - maybe I missed it but what make is the 249 (A&K I assume?)

flashinbluelite

yeah its an A&K but Alvin has dealt with the dodgy hop-up that they are know for and fitted a Guarder Unit instead.....

It retails at 300. Thats without the (nice) scope, metal rounds, sling, battery, replaced hop-up unit and the additional SSG and bipod...

If I did that, the Mrs would kick me soooooo hard.

And not in the good way.

Yep. The hopup has been replaced and the bipod is fully functional. It was only ever used to rest the gun when not in use. The wear on it is small.

Meet me half way. I'll pull the SSG from the deal and drop the price to €250

Bemused

Would love to man, but even as it is I should not be considering this - have a timing belt and service on the car coming up!

Hi Alvin, I lost track of this thread somewhere along the way, would you confirm exactly what you are offering for sale @ €250?

That question was already answered!

gambitthefirst

sorry mate didn't look through the whole thing

Decoy

Any chance you would bring it down to €235?

Whereabouts in Dublin are you, would be interested in checking it out? Reply on location by PM if you would prefer to keep it private

You interested in teh complete package, or just the gun?

Decoy

Complete package, buying the gun alone wouldn't make any sense for me

Alvin T. Grey

If you are interested, I'll sell all but the scope for €200

Decoy

Only really interested in the full package TBH. I will meet you halfway between my €235 offer & your last posted price of €250, that's the absolute limit I can go to but I will understand if you have to decline

Alvin T. Grey

Requesting the thread be closed while I revise the offering. Will need new photos etc so to aviod confusion. I will be reoffering it again as a split package.

Decoy

Alvin, only posting this as the thread is still open and you haven't yet posted a revised offering. I just had (yet another!) birthday so I have an extra couple of quid. If it is still for sale I can now meet your last asking of €250 for the package. If not can you advise when you will be posting a revised listing?

€250 is fine. PM if interested.

Decoy

Only just seeing your reply mate, sorry for the delay. Yes, I am happy to move to PMs.


Update: Sent you contact details by PM late last night so we can arrange transaction

Abram

Cyprinus Carpio has offered E250 for the package and Alvin has agreed. Consider it sold unless stated otherwise in a future post by the OP.

Alvin T. Grey

Sold.
