We'll have to wait for the Artillery experts to chime in, it being the Holiday and all (Happy Thanksgiving).
But IMHO $5500 is the last man out price on ANY artillery. There are a number of variables that we just have to see before I, at least, can give you the thumbs up.
First of all, 3 matching mags. I am uncertain IF they were issued with 3 mags numbered to the gun. I suppose it is possible given the 2 mag carrying pouch. But mags. are the most commonly "boosted" items in this business, and I really think that closeups are in order. They should have the full serial number, followed by the letter suffix. Generally military mags have a + sign for the spare, not sure about a second spare on an artillery rig. Mags should be silver in color with wooden bottoms.
A matching stock should be numbered and suffixed to the gun.
If all of it is legit, then I suppose the price is reasonable, given that an original drum mag should be worth $1200-$1600 by itself.
Does Gander Mt. have a link to the gun?
Welcome aboard, and I don't mean to be cynical, but there is a lot of gold on the table here.
