I hope the buyers are happy with their used guns.
I can't see the price their getting.
The FBI should sell their out of date weapons themselves and use the proceedes to purchase new.

Taxpayer Purchased US Government Issued Weapons are no longer "surplused" and sold, they are cut up and scrapped.
 
Same person bought both of them.Most bidders dropped out between $800 and $1000.Guess he wanted both pretty bad. One on GB now with no movement and 3 days to go.Wait and see what happens ,time will tell.
 
They sure shot up in value more than any other "police trade ins".
 
While I am fascinated with the FBI 1076`s and their development ,it amazes me what some people will do or pay for material things.I wish it was that easy with health or happiness. Still curious if someone else will ante up what the guy is asking for the one on auction now.
 
The Bureau canceled the contract with S&W due to defective weapons. While in "transition training" 3 of the 5 guns in our group broke. Actual parts broke off. All our guns were returned to Quantico. When i retired i was offered to buy my old broken/fixed 1076 for $200.00. Turned it down. Good luck to the guy who buys those.
 
Wow. Guess I need to find an FBI agent to fondle my guns. Then they will all be worth at least double their present value!

It would have been a good investment if you had bought 3 or 4 at $200 each.... People would have probably paid at least $600 for a broken one..
 
Interesting that both 1076`s just sold were bought by the same person,someone must have really deep pockets.
 
Who's brilliant idea was that? Sounds like a total waste of money.

I see you haven't had a lot of interactions with the government :). When you have money to spend that doesn't directly come out of your pocket, why not chop up the 1076s (1911s, Garands, M1 Carbines, Registered Magnums...) and get new stuff?

Looks like we made a good investment at $650.00 on mine! :)

I was really sorry when the Bureau chopped up all of our Tommy Guns. Whata waste. I'd a bought one for a couple hundred bucks.
 
I still have my 1076 FBI model, new in box, never fired. Mags, manual, even the original vapor paper and, I think, plastic baggies for the mags. I think I paid $300 for it back when they had the contract overrun/issues and you could buy them cheap. I recall they also had problems with the grip size for some of the smaller-handed agents. It's a big gun, for sure!

Stay safe. RPR
