Have a shitty picture of my 91/30 and M39, both bought from Sweaty Ben 10 years apart.

RIA started today, anyone have bids in? I have 16 bids but I'm betting I'm going to lose all of them.

How much is early 1950s-production Yugo surplus 8mm worth? The ammo is still in the original 15-round boxes, but the rounds I've seen are pretty clean.

>>34341713

If you're a Leaf that's an ok deal, I paid $380 for mine 6 months ago but that's because the stupid dealer thought it was Russian. You could sell that on CGN for at least $600 if the condition is actually mint.

You may want to buy it anyway as those are the absolute best finished Mosins.

I mean if you wanted one anyway then that price isn't terrible. If you want to buy it for resale then no that's not a great deal. If it's a 1951 then I'd pick it up regardless, those are the rarest year of production and any price under $600 for one is good.

Common year as far as i know. I feel like its been in the store for a long time, i might go in and offer him $375 cash and see if hell sell it. He also had an sks for like $800
>>
>>34339398

Generally somewhere around ~50 cents a round. I've seen it go for 45-55 most of the time. More or less all surplus 8mm is around that price now.
>>
>>34341972
Sounds like a plan. You can't be in Canada with an SKS priced that high... wtf is he thinking? It must be on consignment or something.

Anyone who pays $800 for an SKS that isn't North Korean or a Nam bringback is heavily retarded. ARs are under $700 now, there's no reason for an SKS unless it's under $350 or you have cucked laws.

Exacto! Its a consignment shop hole in the wall. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if i bought the rifle and the just handed it to me and said good day. I usually buy 5.56 there because the guy sells it for like 26 cents a round. He also sells Chilean and Peruvian mausers at like 400-500 burgerbux and type 99s that are so rusted you cant move the bolt for 200-300.
He also has a mossberg model 50 with target sights that looks like a lee enfield for $300. I know nothing of these and was wondering if thats high too?

Never had any from that particular manufacturer. I did shoot up a couple hundred rounds of G&B-made 1943-dated Mk.VII with no hangfires, but a few split cases.

Just follow standard safety procedures and hangfires are unlikely to harm you. Nice smelly, Anon.

Hhahahaha. *breathes* hahaha. There is like less than 20 Type 99s known from Hoten. There weren't even known about until the 1980s when some appeared in the imports from China. All were beat to shit too.

A year or two ago a totally stripped action, no ejector, sights, bolts etc. sold for over $2,000.

It's a Model 1910 commercial military rifle. It has German commercial firing proofs on it, meaning it was not made for a specific national contract but is an "off-the-shelf" example which might be sold to anyone, government or private individual, who wanted a Mauser military rifle quick.

As >>34346786 mentioned, Costa Rica contracted for several thousand of these (they have a Costa Rican crest), and Serbia also adopted the Model 1910 (again, with a Serbian crest on the receiver ring). I have anecdotal evidence that other countries in Central/South America purchased M1910s, but without digging into the actual Mauser Werke records (most of which were destroyed in WW2) it would be impossible to trace its end-user if the rifle itself has no unique markings.

What does he want for it?

So when reassembling my mosin after removing all the the cosmoline, I put the recoil lug in at an angle, which made the barrel bands hard as Hell to put on. After realizing my mistake I had already scratched up the finish on the forend. (Pic related) how should I best repair my mistake?

>>
>>34351484
Why the fuck would you ever remove a recoil lug? In fact no milsurp rifle should ever have its recoil lug taken out. Once seated and set it stays there forever. Then again it's mosin so who cares

FN of Belgium had tooling and equipment for manufacturing K98s. Post ww2 they received a large contract to equip Colombian military with a bolt action rifle, so naturally they agreed upon tried and true Mauser. Interestingly it was chambered in .30-06 due to ththe fact that USA was equipping them with ammo at the time and it should have a notch in the receiver to use 1903 stripper clips. If your rifle is all matching then it spent its life in Colombia most likely. They are one of the best mausers ever made right up there with swedes and Germans. You will enjoy it and don't worry about the price tag

If we're talking strictly monetary value you fucked up big time. The Mas is at least a 350 gun now and climbing. Whereas you overpaid a little on the Mauser.
But that's just speaking in terms of money. Ultimately what interests you more is the only thing that matters. And the FN Mausers are very nice.

FN Model 1930 carbine, Colombian contract, originally in caliber 7x57mm Mauser. I think I see a "Perron" firing proof on the left of the receiver ring, which would make this a pre-WW2 example. In the 1950s Colombia began to receive surplus US military equipment and converted many of their older Mauser models to .30-'06 to share ammo. I don't think you overpaid; the FN carbines are much less-common than the short-rifles, and being in .30-'06 is a big plus if you want a fun little shooter.

FN had been manufacturing various Mauser models since 1890; first as a part of the Loewe arms conglomeration, and after WW1 they cast off their German owner and along with CZ-Brno filled in the huge manufacturing gap left by the Versailles Treaty cutting Germany out of the military arms market. They were producing M1930 short rifles and carbines on contract for Colombia before and after WW2.

>>34351755
I find pre-WW2 Lithgow rifles to be much less-common compared to their younger siblings. If it hasn't been molested by Bubba I think that's a fair price.
>>
>>34351484
You put the recoil lug at an angle? Ok someone already sperged out about it(rightfully so) so let me briefly tell you what you've done here.
Recoil lug is set in the stock when a rifle is born. Over the years lug sets into the stock and becomes integral part of it. YOU NEVER remove it out. It wasn't meant to be removed out I don't care what anyone tells you. You rather replace the stock before messing with the lug,
You not only took it out but you put it at an angle creating a stress point in the stock that exerts unequal pressure on the barrel as a result. That rifle is shot
>>
>>34351702
Thank you anon. Thank you so very much! All numbers are matching and wood/bore are in fantasic condition.
>>
>>34351733
Then am I going to have to get a new stock?
>>
>>34351799
It has not. Everything is right as it should be. Few dings in the stock, but otherwise looks good. The bore is immaculate. Missing the magazine cut off, but thats a fairly cheap part to replace.
>>
>>34351839
>Missing the magazine cut off
Most likely intentional. They often deliberately left the cut off off, even though the kept the slot for it. It's one of those herpes features (it keeps coming back).

Norinco sks with matching parts and it doesn't look used.
How much are they worth?
>>
>>34351826
Not yet. Shoot the bitch and let the lug settle in again. You may want to epoxy inside the lug opening and jam that lug in the way it was to let it settle and solidify. This will most likely be enough but again don't ever take a lug out from another rifle .
FYI some surp shooters took the lug out and then simply coated it in epoxy around it and let it settle in the stock so that's tried and true method

>>34352126
They're selling in for 395, so I'm guessing that's not low enough.

I paid $375 for a 1941 without a bayonet, so you did better than me, I think you did pretty damn good.

>>34352163
I had to run to the atm to get more cash to buy the MAS for myself. I walked away and in the literal 7 minutes that i was gone, he sold it. I really wanted it for myself though. From now on im bringing no less than $800 cash.

>>34352220

I took $1500 with me to the show I just went to. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm hoping to pick up a Garand at another show next month I'd have made an offer on a K98k as well.

So the guy had it tagged as a Czech M24/47, I talked to him about it and figured it was a Vz. 24, but I noticed just now that it actually has M24/47 on the side of the receiver.

So now I need to figure it out. This is a pic of the crest, is it a Yugo M24/47? Or did the Czechs make an M24/47 as well?

That's a Yugoslavian M24/47 (though bayonet looks like a Vz.24 bayonet). The M24/47 is a Commie-rebuilt FN Model 1924 short rifle, which the Kingdom of Yugoslavia produced under license from 1928-1941. K. of Yugoslavia also puchased 92,000 Vz.24 rifles before WW2 began, but they are standard-length M98 actions and so their major parts (like stocks, barrels, etc.) are not inter-changeable with the FN M24. The Vz.24s that the Yugo Commies re-built were designated M24/52C.
>>
>>34352748
Yeah i've figured, but the differences in prices is laughable. You guys wouldn't pay over 1k buck skins for an AR, whereas the cheapest ones here go for 1,5k at least. Then again, we get slavshit for like at least half the price, maybe even less. Btw, the Tokarev and M95 levernugget are mine aswell. Tokarev cost me 400€

>>34353108

The bayonet is a Vz. 24, I bought it separately from the rifle.

Thanks for the info! That's actually good as a M24/47 was higher on my list than a Vz. 24.

>>34353144

Mosins are going for $300 now. $300 face to face, 200+ online, adding in shipping and FFL makes it close to $300. You can easily get that much for them.

I'd love the Imperial one or the Tula, but I shouldn't be buying any 91/30s ATM.

It's a Mousqueton de Artillerie Modèle 1892 Modifié 1916 by St. Etienne arsenal. It probably wasn't made that way as the 5 round magazine wasn't fully developed yet. It was most likely made as a Mousqueton de Artillerie Modèle 1892 and converted post war.

Then it's a Fusil de Infanterie Modèle 1907-1915 Modifié 1916.

No. The N stamp just means the chamber was opened up to allow safe firing of the M1932N cartridge. It's actually better for the brass if you're a reloading as it doesn't stretch as much.

If you find any sort of French surplus, you can't safely fire it as nearly all of it was from Hotchkiss strips like these and they're all the 1932N cartridge.

I have question for you anons
I went firing with my nugget for the first time a week ago, and came back and gave it a through cleaning. I just decided to go fondle it today when i noticed that it started to have rust on the bolt. I took the bolt apart and checked the firing pin and spring, and both have no rust, so it seems like its mostly superficial. My question is what can i do to get rid of this rust?

Does the SA stamp add to the value at all?
>>
>>34355573
Depends on the gun, but for most guns it actually decreases the value.
>>
>>34355573
it actually stands for Stupid Ass
>>
>>34355604
How so?
I thought the finnish capture part would add like $20-50 in value to a 91/30.

>>34355626
:(
>>
>>34355636
As I said, depends on the gun. It might add a very slight premium to a M91/30, but if it's a "recapture" it should be suspect as the stamps are available. Even then, an original matching M91/30, bit Finnish captured is worth a hell of a lot less than one that doesn't have anything Finnish added including the SA, 41, D marks.

So you're saying that a matching 91/30 is worth more than a matching 91/30 with a finnish stamp?

I'm a bit confused.

>then could another person expect to ask $300 for an SA stamped one?
Any refurb M91/30 with an [SA] stamp should be viewed with suspicion these days. There's a lot of new-made [SA] stamping dies out there, and a couple years ago a guy in, I think, North Carolina, was caught selling refurb M91/30s he had stamped with the [SA]. There are legit Finn-captured-Russian-re-captured M91/30s out there (there are also Finn-made M91/30s (m/30) that were captured and refurbished by the Russians just like any of their M91/30s), and sorting out the legit ones from the fakes takes detective work.

SKS has a lighter round, a bit more comfortable in terms of ergonomics, semi auto is always a plus but it's more difficult to clean.
The Mosin is a helluva lot of fun but is a little stale, it's a pretty meh bolt action compared to others and often can have the bolt stick when casings expand after firing but it's easy to clean and cheap.
>>
>>34358238
Nagant. Revolvers are fun.
>>
What is a reasonable price for a Type 99 in pretty good condition? The metal is not pitted or rusted and appears to have original finish, the wood looks unmolested, antiaircraft sights, nice chrysanthemum, smooth action, and a clean bore with good rifling? No monopod or cover. I've been looking on GB but it's hard to get a good gauge because these things are pretty varied. They want $500 for it, and I want a Jap gun to shoot more so than collect (but not "last ditch").

That's not bad of a price, see if you can get them down a bit. Make sure the bolt matches as well, since I've heard (on the type 38 at least) that a mismatched bolt really brings down the smoothness of the action.
>>
>>34359361
>>34359374
You probably just don't have all the cosmoline out, however it's not that uncommon to have stocks with different hues in the finish. That reddish/brown color comes from the oil oxidizing as it ages; a stock covered in grease won't oxidize as quickly.

A damn shame. At least that one can easily be restored with a foreend and new handguard and an early Type 99 bayonet lug.That's still a killer price for one of those.
