Turboprop21 12 Posted June 9, 2013 Well since I have my Colt Commander coming into my FFL it only makes sense to have this waiting for me too right? I'll update on condition once received Thanks OP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prax 8 Posted June 9, 2013 I bought one a couple months ago. The stock is crap, but I plan to put an aftermarket on it anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clintoon Eastwood 2 Posted June 10, 2013 Mine came in Friday and it looks pretty sweet, covered heavily in cosmo but that's good. Mine says 1955.2 whatever that means and the manufacturer says Ching Chang chong, I don't know what it says I stopped going to Chinese school at 2nd grade. Too bad I won't be picking it up until next month. I was even thinking of rolling the dice again for another one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iCARRY 0 Posted June 10, 2013 Why next month? Nics is down to 5 days now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clintoon Eastwood 2 Posted June 10, 2013 Why next month? Nics is down to 5 days now. Hahaha, no it has nothing to do with NICS. Silly On a more important project and this would only slow me down.. Plus my FFL is cool about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ogfarmer 138 Posted June 11, 2013 classic firearms has better type53's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
remixer 1,645 Posted June 12, 2013 Classic does ship pretty good ones. i actually had one from buds delivered with florescent green spray paint on the stock... not the mention the grime and grease was out of control I know when its gonna be a ruff one when the oil is leaking through the cardboard box Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLineFish 615 Posted June 12, 2013 I would prefer to order from classic arms rather than buds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Rizzo 59 Posted June 13, 2013 I ordered a few of these a while back. Dirtier than anything I seen, clean up just fine, fantastic bores and are awesome shooters. Very good ugly rifles... I say grab one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turboprop21 12 Posted June 15, 2013 Nice little price jump, glad I got in when I did. Thanks OP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clintoon Eastwood 2 Posted June 15, 2013 $40 jump right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turboprop21 12 Posted June 16, 2013 Yea, haven't picked mine up yet to see if the quality would justify the increase in price Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Rizzo 59 Posted June 18, 2013 $40 jump right? Damn... was on the fence about grabbing a few more. There goes that chance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeffreyDV 4 Posted June 22, 2013 Back down to $119 at Bud's. Picked up my Bud's Type 53 today. She is ugly but but functional. The bolt is very smooth and there is little to no rust. The stock is pretty beat up but should look decent after some light sanding and refinishing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turboprop21 12 Posted June 22, 2013 Picked mine up on Thursday, overall it's in acceptable shape. Couple decent gouges in the buttstock, but for the price it exceeds my expectations. We'll see what awaits under the cosmo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
