I believe we spoke about these earlier, you have about 700 worth of parts current retail there.

“Jokebroker”, yes $700. Sturm or any other “Normal” site then yes, $500!
you might not wat to sell them.
The stocks are kinda collectable now.
I sold my wire stock to a member for like 50 bux just to replace it a few years later for 150 from another member.
Now they seem to end around 450 on GB just for the stock.
No idea on upper but 700 would seem good for the package.
Maybe more if the upper is complete with bolt & barrel.
You didn't mention if it is stripped or ready to run.

I originally offered $500 as a reseller and he wouldn’t go for it… I admittedly need some room to make profit. I am yet to see uppers and wire stocks going for that cheap on sturm or anywhere else and I have been scanning sturm religiously for MAC parts for years now. You will be hard pressed to find an M10 wire stock for less than 300 on sturm or anywhere else these days… and a complete upper with bolt isn’t going for less than 400.
$700 is low for GB, during the busy season I would get closer to 1000 for these 2 items on gunbroker. $700 is accurate pre-Xmas. Normally I get 5-600 for a complete upper and 350-500 for a wire stock (I’ve had the stocks sell for way higher at auction) Mind you, this is with auctions starting at .99, I have seen M10 wire stocks sell as high as $1,250 bucks on gunbroker in the last year… $700 is honestly a great deal for this stuff on ANY website now if you are buying it to keep it. $500 would be a steal and would leave room for resale profit.
MAC stuff is selling for more than you think now, across the board. There has been a wire stock (the “alternate style”) sitting on sturm for $700 for a long time now with no takers.
The cast bolts alone are going for 250-300 regularly. If he has the patience to list the stuff himself, and not sell quick to a reseller like myself, he can get at least $900 for this stuff on gunbroker OR sturm if he plays his cards right. $400 for a wire stock has become “normal” and $500 for a complete OEM RPB upper is a “good deal”.

I think throughout the years, some had a cobray stamp and some did not. Therefore, it would be hard to tell but if it’s a wire stock, it’s likely OG.
I don’t think Powder springs marked there’s and maybe swd did stamp there’s with a Cobray symbol. I’d have to look at examples, whenever I get them out again. You might be able to tell by the park color variations (minor) too.
Just a guess on my part. Hope that helps.

The wire stock on my Powder Springs M10 doesn’t have any markings on it that I can see. I’m pretty sure it’s original.

The earlier stocks had no logo stamped on them, they also had a coil spring on the stock hinge pin. The “Cobray” in a circle stamp was rarely used on anything prior to 1983 when SWD trademarked it. RPB used it on a few items but SWD put it on everything.
The earliest stocks (first gen 1971-72) had a slightly different shape to the folding wire form portion, I compare it to the fins on a 1960s Cadillac, a bit more art deco looking. This lasted only one year and by 1972 the wire form became the standard shape we are familiar with that folds up tighter to the butt of the gun, lower profile.
First gen stock
The second gen stocks (post 73 MAC, all RPB) were the standard shape, coil spring on the hinge pin (some RPB examples did not have this spring) no Cobray logo. The legs are squared off on these stocks with sharp 90 degree edges.
Second gen
The 3rd gen stocks were the same as the 2nd gen but they were sold post 1983 by SWD and had the Cobray stamped on the hinge and no longer had the coil spring on the hinge pin. These had a tendency to be more rounded off at the legs. Some of these only had one set of notches on the legs (locked in the open position only like the 11/9 stock)
3rd gen
There are some very elusive M10 stocks out there that were apparently sold by SWD at some point that are single locking with one set of notches and have the extra wire loop on the butt like the 11/9 for the armpit, these are extremely rare and I’ve seen only 2 examples in photos… but they are out there.
4th? Gen
Check out this video from the late 80s released by Brigade Quartermaster (werbells sons company). This features an M10 with the 4th gen stock, the one in this video has identical proportions to the M11/9 stock (shorter armpit loop than the one in the briefcase in the photo I posted). Note how he opens the stock in one fast motion, same as an M11/9, it locks only in the open position, even the folding wire form does not lock closed like the normal M10 stock.

It amazes me how you can make something as simple as a wire stock so interesting with all the details!
I even had to go look at mine to see which version it was (gen 2) after seeing this. You are a wealth of knowledge!
