Early Automag Lvl 5 or 6?

[JMD00]

I am looking for a value on an early mag. I thought it was a lvl 5, but was told it wasn't because it had a drop-in instead of press-in sear pin. I am liquidating most of my markers in that I have not played in a couple of years and am looking to move onto a sailboat within the next year. So space will be a problem. Currently not operational, but appears complete. See pictures below.

Any idea on value?

sear & pin have been replaced. the parts are interchangeable, it's just that the older sear pins had square ends instead of round ends, so you had to press the pin into the rail to install and tap it out with a mallet to remove.

pretty interesting that the body screws to the rail like that and holds the barrel breech. it does lose some points by not having the original sear, pin, bumper and hose. the wood grips are a nice bonus though.

$100 or so...depends on if anyone wants an old collectable, and how much they're willing to pay to get it. you can always aim high and see what happens.

also, it's a level 5...you can tell as it still has the two-piece barrel. scroll down in this thread to see what changed between the versions.
