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

He has been trying to sell those for a very long time!

You don't see a lot of parafeed on that forum, or indeed anywhere else other than here, except maybe some older posts on AA.  Something of a niche market I guess.

Tried to buy. Does not accept PayPal. Communication with him does not impart confidence. PB is correct. Been for sale for a long time.

Cheers,

I've bought stuff from him and it has showed up.

Thanks for the heads-up, Deke! 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....
