>"MUH HISTORICAL SIGNIFIGUNCE"

Now, once the milsperger has trotted out this old yarn, you know you're off the map of reality and firmly in his fantasy realm. In his imagination, the rifle the milsperger is rubbing Cheeto dust into is a bonifide combat veteran, no doubt used to fell enemy after enemy in a blaze of glory while bombs exploded all around and banners flapped in the failing light of a glorious day of battle. Surely, that's where all those dings and scratches came from!

Reality: A vanishingly small percentage of rifles produced by any nation (even the USSR) are actually fired in combat. Most ride around in trains, trucks, get used to train with, spend time in lockers, and then are arsenal refurbished, boxed, shipped, and sit in warehouses. That's where all those dents and dings come from, you sperg.

They're just mundane pieces of military equipment that led mundane military lives. They're no more historically significant than a canteen or a belt buckle-- but to you, they're a priceless treasure of history! Reason: Your autistic fantasies.

Look, they're fun to shoot and collect, nice to look at, and interesting conversation pieces. But that's about it. Can we dispense with the breathless apotheosis of what are, in the end, really mediocre firearms?

I just like milsurp rifles for the full length wood stocks, modern rifles are mostly black plastic sporsterized stocks and wood costs extra. As for the pistols I like the all metal construction and the reliability

>>33919806
Well your last line brough out the truth, that these guns are mainly cool historically and aren't crazy amazing or anything like that.

Which is why I don't sperg over milsurp. I like milsurp because they are wooden stocked, have iron sights, and are historically and mechanically interesting.
Never forget, autism is the name of the game in this board though.

>>33919806
>Can we dispense with the breathless apotheosis of what are, in the end, really mediocre firearms?
Okay... and?

Nobody buys milsurp because they want a great firearm. Milsurp collecting is just antiquing for boys. We like milsurps for the same reason that anybody likes any antique. You might as well be saying that the Model T is a "mediocre car". Okay, sure - but the desire for a great car is not why car collectors buy them.

Basically, all you're proving here is that you're the real autist in this conversation. You're "sperging out" about MOA specs and such, when you don't have any understanding of the fact that none of that matters a bit when it comes to antique collecting. In fact, often the most collectible stuff is objectively not very good. Why is Chase The Chuck Wagon a highly collectible game while Super Mario isn't, even though Super Mario is about a billion times better game? Because there were about a billion Super Mario cartridges produced, and only a relative handful of Chase The Chuck Wagon.

Again, you don't understand the point of antiques or how or why they're valued. Which is fine. Go back to your plastic AR and be happy.

I'm sorry, you posted the last sentence in that paragraph as though you didn't read the one before it.

Which is sad for you, because the one before it completely negates that wall-of-text rage response of yours.

Yes. Antique collecting is pretty much all it is. We actually agree with one another, you're just too mad about tripcodes to see that. Also, those guns I posted? Yeah, I own both of them, in addition to an AR, and a lot of other things besides.

You have been weighed, measured, and found wanting.

I used to hate him, but then I learned that he's more knowledgeable than about 98% of /k/ about 98% of what he says.

This is one of those thing he's right about.

For me, I like milsurp because I get my /k/ and /his/ fix in one object, that I get to shoot.

I like my sks though...

>>33920015

>I just like milsurp rifles for the full length wood stocks

That's exactly why I like them too. That, and I got my SKS for $200 a while ago before the whole AR craze went full force.

>>33919787

Milsurp is only good these days if you really want to collect old guns. Back in the day when they were actually cheap as peanuts, I would instantly recommend them over any newer guns. However, now I'd just say go make an AR and be done with it. SKS's for example are getting so fucking overpriced that I'm seeing ~$400 for a Norinco now, and you can make a basic AR for a bit more than that.

I mean, each piece of military equipment, from the firearm to the helmet to the canteen to a soldier's clothes still have a valuable spot as history. Whether they were used, sat in a factory, or were stuck in a dead soldier's locker to rot, they're all history.

Milsurpfags have a place in protecting that history and considering milsurp is a vanishing market, it's more important than ever really. Yes, it's filled with people over glorifying things but so is just about any hobby. Protecting pieces of history, no matter how significant, is still important in my mind. The weapons used to fight wars especially so since, while the ones still being collected and preserved may not have seen combat, those weapons were still the difference between life and death for millions of people. So were helmets, knives, rucksacks carrying supplies, etc. but the weapons were arguably more important to the war effort.

Then again I am probably being too much of a history nerd. If you're not as much of an autistic history fag, then don't be an an autismo about milsurp. Let people do their own thing for whatever makes them happy tbqh

>>33920861
That's the way I see it. People will be making AK's and ARs for (probably) decades to come. These old guns will never be made again, outside of replicas and toys. I mainly get them because of the historical representation. Once these old milsurps re gone, they are GONE, rarely to be seen again. Also, its kinda cool to own a gun that was made before WWI started.

>>33920925
>These old guns will never be made again
Because they're crap.

>I mainly get them because of the historical representation
No, you get them because they're scarce. That's the reason you give yourself as you get some piece of crap that someone was issued and hated, then bought by some lardass who has definitely rubbed his dick over it and shove parts up his ass.

>>33920201
What an unimaginative and forgettable person you must be.

>>33921151
I totally bought a mosin nagant because it was scarce

what are you even talking about anon?

It's a piece of history.
I have this old Enfield.

The bore is sadly worn, it will never shoot well.
The finish is rather faded.
The stock is beat to hell.
But I have respect for this old rifle of mine.
There's a reason for its condition, it was made in 1939.

In a way, I think the historical milsurp sperging is just some people's way of connecting to a point long since passed. Same thing for gear queers when they dress up in old uniforms. It is just how some individuals feel that connection to history.

But considering where we are, there are plenty of autists that take it to the enth degree beyond what the should.

There's not necessarily anything up for debate, it's all opinion, and almost everyone has their own.

Point of order:
Guys, I know I've said this a million bazillion times, but I just DO NOT samefag as Anon. I see it as... indecorous.

Believe what you want though.

Some surplus stuff is a lot of fun to shoot.
Some genuinely outperforms modern alternatives (like Mannlicher Schoenauers) in some aspects.
For some it becomes a hobby to collect minor variants and what not.
And some people just want to own if because they want to own it.

Are military surplus firearms on par with the latest and greatest? Well, no.
Is a surplussed K31 an excellent shooter that will make you smile? Absolutely.

>>33924235
This. This is correct.

But the autism.. oh god, the autism.

Everything >>33920132 said.

If everyone thought like you, there would be no reason to preserve any artifact of history.

Everything that was built in that time, from a mundane canteen to a C-47, is a priceless relic. Being able to own something that was built in an era where the entire world was in turmoil is special. It's even more special when you know the story that the artifact has to tell.

>>33919806
>Reality: A vanishingly small percentage of rifles produced by any nation (even the USSR) are actually fired in combat.

I would like to see a source on this.

Just about every single Matching Type 99 with mum was recovered off the battlefield. Most of them are staked, showing that they have never even taken them apart.
Hell, I have one with fucking shrapnel embedded in the stock.

Zed, my opinion of you has changed. You need to stay in your AR general and never come out.

Compare the actual number of rifles (for which this is verifiably true and not marketing bullshit) to the actual number of Arisakas produced in WWII.

Anyhow, I'm not sure I see the point of this whole thread. The days when you bought milsurp just to get a cheap shooter are long gone, and aren't ever coming back. So what's the point of a thread that tells us that buying milsurp just to get a cheap shooter is a silly idea? Nobody does that anymore, they haven't done it for years now, and they're not going to do it ever again. As someone else said, this thread belongs back in 2006.

Just because they made 14 million K98ks, for example, doesn't mean there are 14 million K98ks out there. Most of them were lost in battle.

>>33919787
Milsurp is for collectors, historically interested, and previously poorfags. Anyone who wants a lead thrower with great accuracy and a slick, light construction can get an ar, but milsurp is for people who appreciate the historical aspect as well as the tech behind older firearms.

You guys are missing the point. You are responding, after all, to a guy who owns a lot of milsurp and enjoys it. Look, here's my nugget.

My point is that it's JUST A NUGGET, just like my K98 in the OP pic is JUST A MAUSER. I'm talking about the ascribing of qualities and fantasies to a mediocre (albeit fun to own and shoot) rifle that occur once the rifle hits a certain level of scarcity.

That's the autism I'm talking about. You know EXACTLY the kind of people I'm talking about.

>>33929143

Literally who is doing that? I haven't seen anybody, anywhere, anytime, on any part of the internet, or in real life, ever who says that these guns are more accurate than they actually are. So precisely who are you complaining about?

Again, it seems to me that you simply don't understand the idea behind antique collecting. The value of milsurps is not rising because a large group of people suddenly got the misconception in their heads that these are sub-MOA rifles. Listen to me: There are other reasons why people might value a vintage rifle other than its specs and accuracy. In fact, precisely nobody buys them for those reasons these days. Nobody fucking cares that they're "mediocre". Maybe they are and maybe they aren't, but that's not the fucking point of antique collecting. Nobody buys a Mauser because they want a sub-MOA rifle, just like nobody buys a DeLorean because they want a fast sports car or buys Chase The Chuck Wagon because they want a fun video game to play. You started a thread to criticize a group of people that don't exist because you don't understand why people value antiques and therefore can't understand why values on one particular group of antiques (i.e. milsurp rifles) keep going up.

>>33929166
How in the hell does that make any sense? You don't get to "win" an argument just because you've said you won.

>>33929169
>more accurate than they actually are
Where did I write that this is the quality the milspergers are attributing to their now-scarce firearms? Oh, that's right, nowhere. So your wall-o-rage is against a strawman of your own making. You're like a parakeet sperging out on the mirror in it's own cage. GJ.

You are beyond FUCKING STUPID. I HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT AGAIN?

I'll put it as simply as I can so you should (theoretically) not have a problem understanding

MY MOSIN-NAGANT WAS IN A WAR. IT WAS IN A WAR AT SOME POINT. I won't ever know where or how many germans it killed, but since it's a 1939 production Tula I can bet pretty safely that it saw combat somewhere with the USSR.

My AR15? Never in a war. Maybe its magazines, but likely not. My WASR-10? It has Balkan WAR furniture, but the rifle itself was never in combat anywhere. Same goes for all of my other guns.

And it's for this fucking reason that my Mosin-Nagant is the dominant figure of my collection. It has history that the others do not. It had its own small part in the world's greatest conflict of the last 100 years, and only old firearms like it will have that value.

>muh money value
Sentiment is ALWAYS going to trump monetary value. I don't give a fuck if mine somehow becomes the very last functioning Mosin on the planet, it is mine and no one elses.

>muh scarcity
You fucking retard. THE NUMBER ONE FACTOR for a milsurp collector will be the historical factor, not monetary value. Big money is in the full-autos and you know it.

>>33933193
>MY MOSIN-NAGANT WAS IN A WAR. IT WAS IN A WAR AT SOME POINT. I won't ever know where or how many germans it killed, but since it's a 1939 production Tula I can bet pretty safely that it saw combat somewhere with the USSR.

No. You're sweeping away the biggest aspect of milsurp guns as "autistic fantasies". The irrefutable fact that your favored milsurp gun is a relic from a previous era, a long gone age, that you can bring to life and used the way it was made to be used. It's really hard to find another hobby that allows for such a thing. I can't go round up an old steam train and drive it wherever. I can rebuild an old car, but it won't have 100% authentic original parts.

I feed my Mosin-Nagant and it will thunder and spit death just like it did in 1940.

>autism
You're the fucking autist here if you can't get your head around reality. You're bitching about old things with sentimental value and questioning why people like them.

>>33919806

Yeah, I pretty much have regretted ever piece of milsurp I ever purchased once the cool factor wore off. It's pretty cool and if you really want to collect old stuff, okay then. I just wish I would have put that money towards a practical weapon. Good post Zed. +97 good boy points.

I am legit loling right now.

I go for mil-surp because I'm a history nerd. Scarcity of the weapons is an unfortunate aspect of it, since I'm poor, but even if I can't own a particular firearm I find interesting, I still enjoy learning about/studying things about it.
It's something about being able to take this tool from a very specific period of time, and be able to feel some of that. Being able to fire it, get a sense for it, how things were, it's all really interesting.

by this reasoning collecting most things, coins spring to mind first, is foolish

Milsurp is its own reward, rather than delivering an objective advantage (save price early in its lifecycle). If it's a mental illness, I'll buy that and carry on.

Point of order: I do like old rifles, but my true erection is for surplus bags. No question, 100%, they make modern synthetic camping backpacks that outperform the living hell out of canvas and leather gear that smell like basement. But I will outhike a modern ultralite thru-hiker on raw macho-larp chub energy alone.

No one has claimed it wasn't you fucking autistic fag. No one in this board's history has bought a mosin and said "this is more functional and clearly superior to the AR platform". It's always for the "MUH HISTORICAL SIGNIFIGUNCE". Which at first you say is invalid, then agree that they are "Antique" which would in fact imply historical significance. Sounds like summa dat cognitive dissonance to me. You have a serious case of autism just like the rest of this board.

If you really wanted to troll them, you'd promote the benefits of refinishing and other restoration.

Another thread, Anon. Another thread.

>>33921383
I went to a range like this in AZ.

Had pretty much anything you could think of, and if you had the cash, you could shoot it.

MG42 mounted on a jeep, .50bmg, uzi, m16, etc

They were quite busy, just be sure to be within a hours drive from a major tourist destination, it'll guarantee traffic

I have proof my mosic was used in combat.

1942 stamp date

they didn't make rifles in 1942 for the gun closet.

It's a fucking hobby, nothing else. don't be so confused when a few blow it out of proportion for something 'more' or 'special'.

Bait thread or not, almost everyone on this board is here because they like firearms.

you just dont get it...

I like military surplus guns because theyre cool, just as I like old military belts and canteens because theyre cool

milsurp is cool and cheap and fun

fuck off with our autism

>>33937200
You didn't read the post at all. I collect milsurp for the same reason. You and I actually agree, you just don't have the reading comprehension skills to understand that.

>our autism

Indeed.

IDK about my mosin seeing action, but my type 38 sure as hell did

>>33920132

This. I have ARs for when I want guns that are current combat capable. I buy milsurp because it's cool. Most of it is garbage compared to what we have today, but that's not the point.

>>33919787

Just a reminder that OP is always a fag.

My nigga. I want to do the same thing, museum/range/store/club.

>>33919806
To be honest I just love milsurp weapons, I love the aesthetic and that's about it, also the click when you work the bolt on an enfield just sounds really nice.

The only time I can see myself sperging out is if someone destroyed a milsurp weapon like that idiot who donated his dads service 1911 to some shitty San Francisco artist to be burned and made into "art", you are somewhat correct in that people inflate the importance of milsurp weapons but is still a piece of history and interesting nonetheless, even if most of them available now didn't actually see combat.

He comes out with some autistic shit, but he isn't completely wrong here.

Picked up a Finnish M91 today for $250
I know little about them, but I thought the price was alright. It's marked VKT with a D under it. Dated 1941. SA marking on the side. I'll post pics when I get home, but I'm wondering what the "LT" stamped on the stock means? Also there is a hole looking thing the size of a 50 cent piece on the side of the butt of the stock. Anyone know what that is?

Best I can right now. I'll dump some of the whole rifle when I get somewhere with decent lighting.

This is the "LT" and hole. Looks like something fits in it.

My great grandfather and his brother served in the Pacific, one shot the guy with the type 38, brought it home refinished it in boot polish for some reason and put a 1907 sling on it. Believe it or not breh

Oh my god. You've really done it. You've made an entire thread out of
>stop liking what I don't like

I really mean it when I tell you to off yourself. But only after you've turned off your trip.

>>33944258
You... actually believed that story?
Dang haha.

>>33942093
No idea what the LT means, but I bet someone on the internet does. You Googled that shit, right?
