Looks like the price was $12k.

There are good deals out there...

I seen that auction...it was really tempting to bid on it but I passed on it.

that was a big mistake. this was by far the best deal on a belt gun in years.

I sat there and watched the clock run out on it,,, the GunSpot auctions don't extend time either when there is a last minute bid, AND the bid increment is 1$.
Thought about it a lot, but it just doesn't fit in with what I collect, and I have learned my lesson about buying just because the price was right., I have to want it too.
Usually right after I buy a "good deal" something that I was really seeking comes along and I don't have the funds.
MWT has been trying to move that M37 since Feb, had a buyer back out and it was available again in May.
I had received decent pictures of it that MWT had sent.
They were asking about $16K.
I believe it was a Craig Jordan build (Tiffany Arms).
The MG market is hard to follow right now, seems like smaller easier to use guns are where the $$$ go.

Perfect way to sum up exactly my thoughts! I used to do those kinds of purchases all the time...and with this amount of money I thought the same...definitely a good deal provided that whoever won it wasn't willing to go higher at the last minute...but it just wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of parts between 1917's and 1919's can be interchanged but Id much prefer an air cooled BMG in .30 cal. Idk if its a big deal or not to simply swap the barrel and internals on that setup or what all is involved with the water jacket so I pretty much took the same approach you did. For the amount of money these things cost I'm definitely not in a hurry to throw cash at something just because its a good deal even if its minor details. If its a matter of just unbolting or unscrewing a few parts and swapping them out, well then eff me I missed out haha.

I hope thats the case everywhere with smaller easy to use guns, Ive seen several 1919's for sale on the big dealer websites for the last year or so and I have to laugh that they're all sold now that Im ready to buy. Ive learned to be patient when dealing with MG's, ya really dont have too much of a choice haha. I will wait for the right deal for me.

Mine is an original Saginaw gear plate that was modified by Crane for 7.62mm, unfortunately it isn’t registered as a C&R

Did anyone on this forum just win that Tiffany Arms built Colt 1928 (Group Ind. RHSP) that just closed at auction on GunSpot?
It seemed like a really good deal.
