    Mint Lapco Grey Ghost.

    It is with remorse and regret that I let this go. I bought this from sugarstump last year. But I have to acknowledge that I’m just never really going to play at this point. At least not to the extent that I own this. I believe he bought this one directly from Colin himself. It’s as close to mint as you will ever find. Edit: No longer for sale.

        I'm in the same boat, I need another old school LAPCO like I need a hole in the head but damn I am a sucker for an old school LAPCO and this looks like a real nice example. Good Luck Rolondo with the sale. Just for those wondering this is a perfectly reasonable price for one in this conditions. I have been collecting old school LAPCOs for longer then many people on here have been playing and I am struggling to not snatch this one up as well so get it before it ends up in my hoard. This is a fairly early one based on the trigger frame and in super nice shape.

          Thank you, I really appreciate the input. I’ve had a weakness for Lapcos and have owned several throughout the years. This one is by far the nicest. Don’t hesitate to make an offer.

            I love this too. I'm trying to lighten up my pile but I basically never see such a complete early example with the NW / Carter style frame, that I like just as much or more than the later lapco / wintec frame.

            I wanna get this and then anodize parts from my 2008 to match the old gun, sell off the extra parts and have a sort of grey ghost do-it-all kit :P

            For anyone thinking "I wish these didn't have fixed bores" on these ghosts you can put a piece of string or dab of glue or whatever you want in the front frame screw and its a perfect ball retention device.

            Spirits aren't so lucky because of the location of the front frame screw relative to the breech.

                            I think I’m taking it off the market. I haven’t had any interest to speak of, and it seems silly to sell an early mint example for so low. And I do really love it. :-).

                              I'd buy it but I really want it only for the stock and I would hate to break this beautiful marker up just to finish another LAPCO marker (Grey Spirit).

                                That makes absolute sense. I'm going to keep the parts but may change up the configuration a little for field use.
