>>32381671
50 bucks k31s.

There just wasnt any gp100 ammo around in the states at that time.

smith and wessons 5000 series pistols.

One small point in time they were everywhere and I didn't get any.

Nagant M1895

I got one, kind of late in the game. I wish I would have done it sooner, and gotten more.

A Mosin-Nagant when you could get one for, like, $60 bucks at Big Five.

Passed on US military marked 1892 Winchester musket with matching bayonet. Guy wanted $350.
Made for the trials that the Krag rifle won, one of probably six or so left in the world.

30-06 mauser. Sat on the self for months then right when i went to oick it up some one bought it

Back in 2013 I was really looking for an SKS, but they were all over $600 at the time. Found some dude who had safes filled with them, and sold me one for $75. I was super happy, but was a dumbass in that I didn't buy every single one he had. Then again, I was just out of Highschool and didn't have much money.

Those fucking $500 AES-10Bs

>>32381671
Nothing special but....Back in late 2014 Colonial Shooting Academy in Virginia Beach, VA had a minty CZ52 with 3 mags, leather holster and a box of ammo(50) for $225. Was too broke at the time to buy it.

Pretty plain Jane deal desu

>>32382055
Lol I live really close to CSA. CZ52s used to be like $70 in 2007ish. $225 seems like a lot even today.

>>32381671
OP how can I believe your story... you say a local gun store, i.e. someone whose entire livelihood comes from buying and selling weapons and knowing the market inside and out and what guns should be priced at, somehow was willing to sell for $1000 something that would easily sell for > 3x that amount?

Years ago the LGS had an HK SL-6 and SL-7 come in from one guy, matching pair with Hensoldt optics and roughly ten magazines each. Sitting in hard cases and selling as a pair for 1600.
Kicking myself even now for not throwing my wallet at them.

>>32381671
>this year
L1A1 kit w/ active tritium scope for $900
Mini-14, barely used for $475
SCAR-17 for $2800 (could've flipped for $4000+ in Cali panic buy)
>before
M1A Standard for $999 on New Years Eve 2015
7N6 ammo for whatever it was in 2011/2012

>>32382220
>tfw work at Ruger and can get Mini 14 for about that price
>tfw get standard M1A for $1100

My bonus needs to get here soon

Fucker probably had 5 of the fucking things in his safe already.

It was probably a fake. There's lots of faked No4Ts.

I doubt the gunstore would have undercut themselves that much if it was authentic.

>>32382302
>tfw work at Ruger and can get Mini 14 for about that price
If Minis cost $500 they would be worth it. I've wanted one for a while but fucking hell, $800 for one of them? No way.

Nagants when they were well under $100.
A Webley Mk. VI for $200 in a pawn shop years ago.

>>32382396
Nagants are garbage, you didn't miss anything.

>>32381874
Come back to the shop, see if he offers it at gun show prices now. Make /k/ feel good.

>>32381685
Coles Distribution has a ton of SW 59xx pistols.

An M44 two years back when they were still cheap with x54r being abundant

>>32381671
Missed out on an early Sphinx import that was mislabeled as a Tangfolio.

It was 400$.

Also missed out on an Argentinian Hi Power for 200$ that was labeled as one of those Tok clones.

>>32382149
It was on consignment, so I don't think it was the gun store who made up that price, I think it was whoever owned it, they maybe didn't know exactly what they had.

>>32381706
i regret not getting my $59.95 hand nugget as well

>>32382132
I never see them below 400 nowadays.

>>32381911
why didnt you buy it

>>32381957
i bought a $300 saiga sporter. thats all i would pay for one honestly, i dont see the value for anything higher than $350. only idiots are spending $900+ on them right now, for a rifle that costs less than $100 to make

>>32382336
lol, sums up fudds perfectly. you got fudded m8.

>>32382549
Didn't know the significance until later when I did research. This was before smartphones and wifi and I spent the money elsewhere.
You should see the price of even the bayoonet now.

>>32382575
damn thats tough, i cant imagine trying to shop for shit i dont know anything about without my cell phone. how did people do business back in the day

Neighbor had a Nazi marked, all matching K-98k that he wanted to sell, offered it to me for $500.
It was in amazing condition, looked like it had just come from the factory.
I told him I didn't have the cash (which I did, but I was saving to buy a nice AR).
Some guy offered him $800.

This was 3 months ago.


>>32382030
I feel it man. Wish I would have jumped on one.

I missed out on a pre-b short rail CZ75 that was 350 dollaroos.

It was four years ago and I'm still beating myself over it. Just typing it out is getting my heart rate up.

>>32382681
>$350 for a short rail CZ 75

No fucking way, those are like $8,000 now.

>>32382687
It was in Canada and seller didn't really know what he had.

note for the future anon

THEY STILL MAKE ARs

I regret not getting my license sooner in Canada. Mostly due to ignorance and other priorities at the time.

>>32381957
feels weird to have my pics posted all this time later.

Mosin Nagants when they were cheap. I was too much of a pussy to buy a gun because it would piss off my roomates. Now it just doesn't feel right to spend 250 on a Mosin.

I missed good misurp in general which fucking sucks

At least I got in just in time to enjoy good prices on ARs

SAFN @ $450
Finn Mosin @ $100
1942 P38 $500

Back in 2010 I passed up on a Finnish M39 as my first rifle for $115. I bought a 91/30 at the same show for $59 after I lost out on the M39. I didn't know jackshit about guns back then, set it down not thinking of what it perhaps was, and came back 10 minutes later to buy it and it was gone. I still kick myself over it to this day.

>>32383442
This.

I was on probation for a bullshit misdemeanor for 5 years (some drunk dipshit was threatening me in a parking lot and I scared him off with an airshit M4 I happened to have in my trunk, somebody called the cops, I got arrested, and was convicted of "brandishing a replica weapon in public"), and then was with an antifun GF for a few years after that, and by the time I was single and could buy a gun nuggets weren't cheap anymore.

>antifun gf
Fucking why?
