Title: FYI - Someone is selling a pair of MQ nickel stripe BH-5 parafeed OPTs for $400

No affiliation. And I've never heard BH-5 OPTs. I'm posting b/c I've read that Mike has retired -- so already scarce MQ parafeed iron is only going to become even scarcer.

cheers, Derek

I went ahead and bought these, as I suspect I am going to wonder about these in the future and as you said Mike has retired. Anyone out there have any BH-7 chokes they can bear to part with? If so, please DM me and I'm sure we can come to an equitable arrangement. I'll post here with impressions once the BH-5s are installed....
