I bought one of his compete carriers a while back. If I can't find a bolt at a normal price, waiting for Dingo is my plan.
Watch out for the "mint" looking bolts and and op rods on Gunporker, they are repros stamped with fake Waffenamts.
BTW, who's bidding up Larry Reisel's rusted beater Stg44 parts kit?

Good to see they got a couple more, I was able to grab one this time before “MG34-Gunner” got them, and relisted on gunbroker with a markup.
I don't mind him selling BRP's mags with 50% markup (anybody can buy them from BRP at BRP prices, some people are just too lazy to scour the internet for deals) or him selling an APEX M53 parts kit with BRP semi auto parts and Global Machine & Tool receiver halves for $3,500 when the same parts can be accumulated for half the price with some patience. What gets my attention is when obvious reproduction parts with critical metallurgy requirements are sold as MINT WW2 parts, including fake Waffenamts. A Waffenamt stamp is proof the part met factory requirements for tolerances, functionality and safe operation, including hardness tests. Slapping a Waffenamt on a repro part is like a Chinese knockoff Craftsman wrench with Made in USA engraving.

There's no way this is an original WW2 forged op rod. Convince me otherwise.
As far as that oprod goes, the markings are suspect. No mfg Mark, f.ex. Fxo
However it does look physically correct, I like the tool marks on the carrier.
Resurrecting this since I was also watching. The 'winner' seems to think he's a flipper of junk parts kits apparently and not so good either. 2 Fs and a C, plus an A in the last month alone. Wonder where he thinks he's going with this at $3500+??
