Long Arisaka is best Arisaka.

I'll get one eventually.

For now though I have to hold off on Arisakas until I get a bunch of other slots filled out.

I want a Mauser. I'm not interested in collecting a bunch of different varieties of Mausers, but I would like one. Should I get a Chilean Mauser, or a Yugo M48? (I'm open to other suggestions as well, but I'm mostly interested in these two).

I got this Yugo mauser that I am trying to sell or trade at an upcoming gun show. I got it in trade and it came with this brass stacker scope mount and cheek riser. Both of them are easily removable, and the rifle is all original and in amazing condition. Do you guys think I should remove the mount and riser? I am concerned people will just think it was bubba'd

>>34381538

What should I ask for price-wise?

$300 is the going rate for a Yugo. I suppose at a gun show that means you ask $350 and settle at $300.

1909 Argentine Carbine I bought for $225. It's a shame it was cut down and rechambered in 30-06. Shoots nice though. I'm thinking of refinishing it and selling it but not sure if I should do it as is or buy an original stock.

I already have a decent setup, but I need to stock up on ammo and related stuff before the end of the year (no online sales to CA starting 2018). I'm not sure it's worth my time to reload some of my calibers (7.62x39, primarily), so I'm getting what I can, while I can. I need to find some decent 8mm Mauser. For some reason, FMJ 8x57 is hard to find at the moment and most of the surplus I can find is either really overpriced or absolute shit.

Has it been? I looked up the serial number and it says it's a cavalry carbine made in 1911. The barrel is 22 inches on those and that's what mine is. I think they probably just cut down the stock. If that's the case would it be worth getting an original stock or would it really not add any value because it's still the wrong caliber?

Will that wood fit on a new PTR? I found a century at a pawn shop with wood furniture but I don't want the whole shitty rifle, just the wood. I don't expect they'll be open to me buying just the furniture but I thought it might be worth a try assuming they're compatible.

Check online for the furniture. Surplus furniture kits.
I've had PTRs and CETMEs apart both in the same hour, there are some subtle and minor differences like in the metal part rear stock buffer assembly. I haven't tried to switch them out, but PTRs are tight where some CETMEs can be pretty sloppy. Mine's tight though, if you have some mechanical skills you can squeeze and manipulate the differences if there are any problems.

It has a rifle-length rear sight on it (300-2000m), not a carbine sight (200-1400m), and it does not have a carbine front sight base. There are separate serial number ranges for infantry rifles and carbines.

If I ever get around to getting a MAS-36 (or a Carcano), I'll have this same problem. On the one hand, the French were officially on the Allied side, but on the other hand, more Frenchmen (and thus more MAS rifles) fought for the Axis than against it.

>>34379941
is the mum on or is it one of those cases where they just did a quarter ass job of removing it

>>34384584

I'd call the MAS-36 Allied personally, though I can definitely see the argument for calling them Axis.

My Carcano is going into Axis since the pastas spent most of the war on the Axis side, and even when they OFFICIALLY flipped a lot of soldiers kept fighting for the Krauts.

It depends on a few factors. Do you like the Great War style long rifles, or do you want a shorter, carbine rifle? 8mm or 7mm Mauser? If you like longer guns, get the Chilean. Fortunately for me, I don't have to chose, because I have both.

The Vichy French never officially joined the Axis. They only defended their colonial holdings. Even then then forces in North Africa switched back to the Free French as soon as it became clear the allies would win. Instead of turning their fleet over to the Germans they scuttled it. Even then the Vichy Army was fixed at about 100,000 for Metropolitan France and they were limited to 120,000 for North Africa. And almost the entirety of the North African army joined the Free French. All in all the Free French numbered about 1.4 Million soldiers by 1945. Way more than Vichy ever fielded

Oh no; this is a school rifle and a lot of parts on it don't match (like bayonet lug and rear sight, which match each other but neither bolt or receiver). I'm just pleased to find some that do.

I disagree; I see more listings for milsurp on Armslist/Gunbroker for the east side of the state than the west side.

I think original cleaning rods are easy enough to find. For slings I wouldn't know. I only own original ones and the rubberized canvas ones are always falling apart.

If you look for original ones, be careful you don't get a fake made from a Swedish Mauser sling. They are similar but not the same.

Gunshop up the road from where I work is selling an Inland M1 carbine for $799. The bore looks decent but the rest of the gun is pretty knocked up. The wood is worn and chewed in places, the action os missing most of its blueing and i would say the rifle is rated in fair condition. Action is smooth and headspacing is all good. Assuming he works on the price (I'm sure he will), what is a fair price for this. I have an unissued Saginaw that I love and would like to get this one that I dont have to baby like the Saginaw.

Califag here, should I just build an ar instead of buying an sks? Half the price of a mini 14, and I can readily convert it in case of a camelfucker invasion or other emergency.

My first gun was my SKS-M that my dad handed me when I turned 18 and never told me where he got it from...

But my next gun will either be a Turkish Mauser that was made in 1958 in my area that is selling for about $180 USD. My only concerns are finding ammo for it, it's the old 8mm. Or the classic M44 Mosin that I have always wanted, but it likes around $300 with all goodies attached.

That would be a really late date. The "ATF"-marked ones dated 1954 are the latest I've yet seen.
>My only concerns are finding ammo for it, it's the old 8mm.
Not if it was made in 1958, or by the Turks in general. Turkey adopted the .323" S-Patrone 8x57mm.

>>34387417
If it's a tool, do an AR. If it's a monument to autspergism, then do whatever autspergism dictates.

>>34387509
So would that make the ammo cheaper or more compared to the 8mm?
And I am pretty sure that it was 58', but I could be wrong then??

>>34386529
More listings maybe, but everyone wants over market value for what they have. It's garbage.

I wasn't paying attention in a gun auction last night and am now in for a L/L Savage No.4 Mk.1* (non-matching) in what appears to be pretty stellar condition for 465 burgerbucks.

It IS "the 8mm". Factory .318" 8x57I ammo is rarely manufactured, and you'll probably never see any for sale except in obscure internet retailers for $$$.
>And I am pretty sure that it was 58', but I could be wrong then??
At this point I don't assume anything about Turkish Mausers. Always something new to them popping up.

>>34387554
>How bad did I fuck up, /surp/?
I guess we'd have to see the condition of it. Mis-matching would totally kill it for me in a pristine rifle, though I don't mind it in well-used/cheaply-priced examples.

If you want to shoot a lot get something in 7.62NATO or .30-'06 US, like a Springfield M1903, Israeli Mauser, or Indian Ishapore 2A SMLE.

>>34388478
I'd say trawl gunbroker for a K-11 in good shape. 7.5 swiss is still made and widely more available than 8x56r.

Or something in 8mm mauser, which there are many 'surp rifles chambered in.

>>34385420
There a 5 LGS in my city, one big box store, and about 4-5 pawn shops. I've searched them all. They only have sportorized milsurp or overpriced Mosins.

>>34385515
There's a civilian export version (the one with the yellowish furniture) Norninco at a local pawnshop for $360. Is this a good price for something like that?

Yeah, you'll pay $100 more in most cases.

They reverted to the old one today. That new one was bullshit.

Outside of those few, there won't be many unlike here in the States.

Finland, some of them were converted to 7x53R, 7,62x53R, 8,2x53R, 9,3x53R or 9,3x57, but still theres lot in original 6,5x50SR.

Know of any Type 35s?

>>34390309
They dont sell that here, new brass cost around 1,2€/ea so reloading price comes around ~2€ per round, only factory ammo i could find is Norma Oryx costing 5,17€ per round, but this is more hunting ammo than range ammo.

>>34390495
Yes also .303 forgot about that but these where converted almost all possible cartridges, havent found any type 35, type 30 seems to be most common, some bubbad go for cheaps as 100€ because its hard to restore them since original or spare stock, original parts are scarce.

Lol, just lol

If I list an item purposely over priced on gunbroker some schmuck will eventually buy it right?

Depends. If it's surp, abso-fucking-lutely. Maybe not Nuggets or most Carcanos from what I've seen, but anything else usually gets at least one bite.

Or you could start a no reserve penny auction and wait for some fucktard like me to bid beyond what he wants to pay. :^)

Lebelfag here.

I went back to the gun/pawn shop that I saw the lebel in again as well as noticing a berthier in decent external shape. The guy is asking 500 for it and the finish is great with a decent bore and non-matching bolt, Is that a good price?

I didn't get to molest the berthier and the price tag was twisted and there was shit in front of the gun so I could not reach it.

>>34390658

Totally not the ATF, I swear, but what are you holding?

>>34391082

You should sell them then. Use the money to get guns you ARE interested in.

>>34391827

Nah, I'm at my parent's place until I finish College 2: Electric Boogaloo, I didn't even buy a "safe" (read: Stack-On cabinet) until I decided to start spending all my shekels on milsurp this year.

Once i get my own place again, then I'll probably look into the Matrix thing that Gun Jesus is shilling.

On the other hand I never have anyone over, so it's not like it matters.

>>34392129

I think putting in the most you're comfortable paying is probably the best bet. That way people are more likely to drop out instead of getting emotionally attached to the bid and going higher than they would otherwise.

>>34392375

NICE!

I'm slowly convincing myself to restore my Krag, but finding a decent stock that won't break the bank isn't easy.

>>34392428

I'm actually going to buy a gun with "trench art" on it, provided it stays where it is until the end of next week.

>>34392471

CMP is probably gonna get new Garands soon, also if Century gets to import the Korean Garands (which is reasonably likely) then the prices might dip. I'd hold off on the Garand for a bit (though it is a slight roll of the dice) and snag the parts to build an AR.

>>34392586

Liberty Tree and Simpson both have them in stock if you're willing to pay. I got mine from my LGS, I've seen a couple in local gun shows.

>>34393568

I'm no Ouiaboo, but I think that's a good price for it.

>Not asking the employees to molest the Berthier

>>34393568
depends on the berthier. Is it a rifle or a carbine? 3 or 5 shot?

How close are the descriptions on Simpsons website? I'm considering saving up for one of their m1917s but have never bought anything from them

>>34394392
He means a comparison of the Type 99 long rifle and the regular length side by side. They're about 5.5 inches longer according to wikipedia, so a little shorter than a Type 38.

>>34394488
Im a bit confused. are you saying the long rifle is a bit shorter than a type 38?

>>34388478
I handled one the other day. Nice quality and action but I'd go for the long rifle, the carbine is too short for my taste and the especially short sight radius isn't nice.

>>34395127
No. He's some arg tripfag who builds rifles he never shoots.

>>34395716

I'm in the same boat, the seller for my M44 hasn't responded to e-mails or called me in a couple days.

The best part is that I already paid for the transfer since he was supposed to fucking show up a few days ago.

Okay, so there was the Type 38, the first really mass produced Arisaka. It was long as fugg, 50.2 inches, one of the longest service rifles in it's time.
Then the Type 99 was invented, initially it was designed as a long rifle. It was 49.5 inches and had a similar stock style to the Type 38, with the top of the barrel exposed. It might look like a last ditch, but look closer and you'll realize it isn't. These have superb build quality. Less than 40,000 of these were made and then the Type 99 was updated to be shorter, 44 inches and have a wood handguard run to the end of the stock.
Also my Type 38 pictured because why not.

They made half a million Type 30s.

>>34396403
oh shit didn't know they made that many Type 30's, because I never see any for sale

>>34396437
That's because a large percentage were sold to Russia in WWI.

Most of them went to Russia.

Also if you wanna get technical, the 38 and 99 aren't Arisakas.

Not disagreeing chief. Just making a comparison.

supposedly, sportsmans guide has PPU lebelfood

>>34397836

They did last time I checked. Think it's around $20 a box.

Question guys:

Original Inland M1A1. 6mil serial, 10-44 barrel, no import marks. Stock is original but has soldier's initials carved on one side. Bad thing: it's been nickel plated.

$699. Should I?

>>34397767
Even more jelly then.

>>34397932

Actually late 4m serial IIRC. I can't remember, didn't take but a peak at it but guy has had it a while (pawn shop).

But it's a WW2 Inland.

>>34397932

I'd take it. For $700 it's not a terrible price for a NEW M1, getting one with history, even if it's moderately bubbaed, is worth it.

>>34398010

Well ones in original condition are selling (with bids) for $2500-3000 on Gunbroker, but as I said, this one has been bubba'd. Metal on the para stock has been plated too.

>>34398192

Oh shit, I didn't notice you say it's an A1. I'd definitely that it if it was wartime production.

Anyone have an idea of what a gas trap Garand would cost?

Ive always wondered if the US marked ones are more common than the pure leaf ones in the US for obvious reasons. I've never seen the numbers on how many were imported before the ban.

it has the marking "not english make"

>>34400054

Nah. The only repro that I'm planning on buying is the M14, because I need one for my collection and the originals are likely rapishly expensive.

A gas trap Garand is an end-goal, not an essential.

The Mk3 was civilian market only in the US. The MK2s were for basic training during WW1. I've seen both US marked and plain MkIIs in the US and was wondering which of the two is more rare down here.

I have a US marked bayonet for mine as well.

>>34406315
I was wrong. They apparently made some in WWI. The 1926 would be the barrel date though. I don't think they made any Berthiers after WWI.
