When they run out of something, you can click on notify me when these are back in stock.
For current quantity, add 100, 500, 1000,etc to your cart and see if they have them to sell

You know me, hook, line and sinker.....lol
, Even though im passing on this I hope you guys all get good ones. Ill be kicking myself, but it wouldn't be the first time
Sold Out!
Guess they weren't playing games.
I've seen them say "10 left...4 left... 1 left..." Then it jumps to "99 left...95 left..." because they put up 100 at a time.
Just put 100 or 500 in your cart. If they only have 93, they'll regretfully inform you.
Of course, a week later, when 500 guns show up at your door, your wife might wonder...

$550 isn't something to sneeze at and the photos showed quite a range of different hammers, grips and frame wear condition. You were wise to show some restraint.
I'm certainly hoping for the best. As long as she shoots straight and is reliable, I'll consider it a win.
A mint condition one of these would fetch considerably more at one of our IP's or on GB, but these guns had a life and we ain't talking shelf life neither.

sold out,,,,

Many thanks for the link OP. I had one in the cart and I decided to wait. When I came back they were sold out. I wish I gotten one, but I need to spend the $$ elsewhere. If they were $350 or so, I think it would have been a different story. Good luck to all who got one. Looking forward to the pics.
Do you know who he uses for shipping? UPS? FedEx?

He sent stuff to me a while back USPS Priority for $6.
Since he used to live in MD - and has the best prices around - and has great customer service - I'll go to him first the next time I need some mags...
I literally had them two days after ordering, and he followed up with a personal email to make sure I was happy.
Made in 1980 by FEG, also marketed as the "Luger M80"
Some say the FEG triggers are better than the FN's. I have a M80 and think its a great shooter. The Mauser on GB is in pretty rough cosmetic shape for the price.

These "Mausers" never saw the inside of the Mauser factory. 100% FEG, including the Mauser roll-mark. FEG was capable of a wide range of work. My own FEG PJK-9HP is very nicely finished and blued.
How are the Mec Gar 15 round magazines?
Do they fit flush?
Do they work?
Found answers to those questions (apparently I'm not the first to ask):
http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/mec-gar 9mm Hi Power magazines 13 vs 15 shot.htm
And the reviews at Midway say the same thing. They fit flush and they work well, but may very rarely fail to engage the slide lock.

Thanks, good to know.
I ordered 3 10rd mags from www.gregcotellc.com
This is going to just be primarily a range gun for me, so I'm in no hurry to pick up the standard or better capacity mags unless they just happen to cross my path in VA or PA

Import mark
AIM Surplus had these last July as well and sold out in about 1 hour. They used the exact same pictures in this round as last time BUT they didn't include the photo of the import stamp. I have attached that one so you can see what it was like on the last batch. This was obviously a different batch, so no promises this picture accurately represents the latest batch. But they did use all the same other pictures. It is a shame they haven't learned how to stamp these by default on the bottom side instead of on the side where it is very visible. But import marks are here to stay, so we should probably just get used to it.

Some block sanding to knock down that billboard and a zinc park bath would do wonders for these pistols.

This is why I didn't spend much time thinking about it and bought one for good or bad.
No one wants to billboard, but I plan on shooting mine, not staring at it.
Thanks for the heads up though

Throw bread on me
If thats even close then I'll live with it. I think there would be worthy candidates for refinishing and during that time you could wipe out the import mark
