    Need an appraisal of a relatively unique mag

    Never had an M Carter account until now but some of you may remember me from back in the day on AO or PbN.

    Anyway, I have a unique Automag that I need to get a feel for a fair asking price since I have been away from the scene for so long.

    I spent a decade in the machining and tool and die trades and had access to some relatively powerful tools, as such I was able to make some very nice markers. This marker in particular was born out of the simple fact that I had two PM5 UL frames and felt obligated to build around the leftover frame.

    This marker features a unique 1 of 2 rail (identical to its carbon fiber twin if you know my history) as well as a custom machined and fitted UL frame and 1 of 1 billet aluminum angled foregrip. This marker also has an X-valve with Level 10 Bolt, Bob Long cam drive ASA, and a color-matched CCM swivel fitting. Anodizing is gloss black and was done by Caustic Customs.

    This marker has never seen the field so is essentially still cherry, no scratches or blemishes whatsoever. I only aired this gun up a few times and only fired it once just to verify that it worked.

    I am looking to sell just the marker itself, no barrel, tank, or loader. It will come with an Inception Designs padded zipper marker case.

    I appreciate any insights for the asking price.

    Thanks

    edit: forgot to mention this is a purely mechanical mag, no pneumag or e-mag guts hiding under the grips, just a straight link from the trigger to sear

        Oh man! I remember seeing this on AO back in the day. No idea on value, but damn she's a sexy one.

          Amazing! Can we see the drivers side?

          any issues with the valve after anodizing?

            My best guess, which might be off, would be 800-1k?

                Most builds like this one look janky too me.

                This market is elegant and seamless. Great job!

                  Beautiful custom build! I wouldn't sell it for less than $1000 even with it not being a pneumag.

                    I remember the Panda-mag! It started a lot of wave rail builds in the way back.

                    Hope you hang around MCB for a while. There's plenty of machinists around here, up to various hobbies as well as unique markers.

                      Yeah, 1k, maybe 1100 somewhere in that ballpark.

                      Nice work

                        all the automag action is in the facebook group nowadays and they're great at appraisals, and, drooling.

                        AO is super quiet now (other than a few members that grind on with ugly political / conspiracy posting, in the ironically named "Friendly corner")

                          Thank you. Exactly the reason I left for good year ago. What a shame.

                          Leave the cancer of politics to BookFace it adds 0 value to the conversation.

                        I'm glad I'm not the only one to have noticed that.

                            I was glad that went by the way side. Soo many hack jobs from guys that don't know what they are doing.
