Pretty smart way to make $$ off a well used post sample.

I'm surprised more CIIIs haven't put these up for sale.

There are actually a fair number of post sample 18s out there. Perhaps more CIIIs will sell the gun sans frame wgen they're done be w the gun. Don't know y more haven't done so.

Excuse my lack of knowledge here, but what would prevent the G18 slide from being put onto a G17 frame and only firing it in semi auto? I understand the G18 frame has an extra "tab" in the frame, and the slide has an extra "tab" that comes down once switched to full auto, but don't understand why you couldn't use it in semi auto.

I know you have some experience with the G18, so maybe you could explain this for us.

It's the rail height. Significantly different on the 18 and 17.

What do you all think it could go for? What's it really worth just as a collectors piece?
 
#16 ·
There are 3 or 4 (from memory, can't remember which) unique parts and the rail height is different.

I posted a thread earlier this year w lots of pics that I took at the G18 Operator School.

Interesting that the Gen 2 18 C's don't say C on the slide like the later generations.

Nice score for the seller. They likely paid very little for it or traded the PD a new gun.

I'm sure even if someone was able to marry this to a lower the end result would be illegal, correct?
 
#19 ·
That's correct

Is your 18 C a transferable or a pre or post sample?
 
#25 ·
I don't know why the post samples are so expensive. The guns are around $600 to agencies. There are all manner of post sample Colts, HKs, etc at low prices. I don't know why 18s bring so much. I know a guy who has two of them.
 
#27 ·
Absolutely. My mistake.
I was a CIII for 10 years. I can't tell u how much I regret not tracking a pre sample down. My greatest firearms regret by far.
Wonder what they go for today.
 
#28 ·
Do u have any idea how many pre 86 DS 18s exist?

Interesting photos. I did not know the Gen2 G18 pistols have a locking block pin.

The serial number is BSE270, with Austrian proof date code of LDH. That means it was proofed in February 1996. That is consistent with other models which have BSE### serial numbers.

Yup. When I took the G18 school they were $500 to agencies.

The market value of select-fire weapons in the USA has never had ANYTHING to do with how much the weapon costs to make, or how much it costs for authorized agencies to purchase...especially after FOPA86.

Twenty-five years ago there were real US-made M14 rifles available for sale to authorized agencies for about $800, and select-fire Chinese M14 clones for about $500, IIRC. That's about what a new semi-auto Springfield Armory M1A sold for at the time. Had they been transferrable, the cost after FOPA86 would likely have been more than 20 times higher.

Kind of BS'y. One could probably do more damage with a 17 than they could do with an 18. From the videos I've seen they aren't known for accuracy. For example if I owned one it would be a range toy only, wouldn't use it for HD or to carry. Would be nice to have some common sense gun laws, allowed to have full auto but only for range use, for example..

A civilian in Florida can own it, just like any Class III weapon. Licensing is very possible in Florida.

There are aftermarket Glock full auto conversions being offered too.
If said civilian was a class 3 dealer. Select fire switches for Glocks are NOT offered for civilian sale. Post 86 only.

:cool:
