Japanese Type 96 Parts kit?

[rdinga]

I am looking at an Estate purchase. Anyone care to throw out a guess on the reasonable price for a Japanese type 96 parts kit. All original including the torch cut receiver. Sorry its not a dewat.

No surface rust or pitting.

Hoping to buy a large lot and get these thrown in cheap.

Only use for this would be to build a display gun. But unlike for a Thompson or BAR, nobody is making a dummy receiver.

Check with IMA (International Military Antiques) for the prices of Japanese display MG's.

Depends.
As a parts kit, maybe a c-note, tops.
To somebody with a broken Type 96 that could use those parts, maybe couple, three hundred.
Not sure where a person would be able to get the correct dimensions to machine up a dummy receiver.

The magazine alone will bring, IMO, 4-500 if not more. Possibly much more.
It takes two bidders.
I would sell the kit complete, not part it out.

Best of luck with decisions,
