Gun Show EditionPost the gats you somehow managed to get from a gun show.Recent News: Lots of AK parts kits coming in with barrels thanks to the ATF ruling. Lebanese FAL kits are also still in stock.Previous Thread: >>65066832
>>65163116>Post the gats you somehow managed to get from a gun show.My 1886 Lebel. The only one ive ever seen at a show and havent seen one since. Jumped on it immediately, 0 ragrets
>>65163342is that 1897 a take down model? I picked up a 1912 that’s a take down model with the same barrel length as yours and I’ve been trying to figure out what exactly the fuck it’s history us
>>65163400*its history isfucking phone
This was three years ago, but I bought this Kropatschek for $450, asking price was $500. 10% off isn't terrible negotiation
Pic related was like $200 4 or 5 years back. Missing the magazine. Bought a magazine for $120 from a Polish (I think) online store and crossed my fingers and hoped it would arrive, and it actually did. Nice shooting rifle. More accurate than my K31 and I think it’s more pleasant to shoot.
>>65163522I actually prefer the 96/11 and 11 mechanism over the K31. The K31 is kind of a fat gun
I finally had time to test the Canadian 303 British ammo that gunmagwarehouse is selling. I thought it was the same stuff Century has right now, but this stuff is Mk 7z ammo, so it has smokeless powder in it instead of spaghetti. I bought 2 boxes. The ammo in both boxes didn’t have any corrosion, all the ammo looked good. I tested 20 rounds from each box and all 40 rounds went off without a hitch. It seems about as accurate as I could shoot it. None of the cases had split necks so I can get at least 1 reload out of them. I treated this as corrosive so I cleaned my rifles after my range trip. If it was like 50 cents per round I’d probably buy quite a bit of it, but since it’s around 75 cpr with shipping, I’ll probably buy a few boxes just to have it.
>>65163116>Post the gats you somehow managed to get from a gun show.1958 International Harvester, $500. Lol, op pic.
>>65163534It's dumb, cropping the pic even just .00000005 percent allows it to post the correct orientation, I don't understand why it's like that.Also, congrats on the daylight robbery lol
>>65163538>cropping the pic>corrects orientation Confirmed (in advance). I trust you, bro.
>>65163538Noted, digital media sama.
>>65163116How much of a deal is a 1910 Luger for $1900, great condition with two extra mags and holster? I see they're around 4k+ on gunbroker, but that shit is mostly fudds who know that they got.
>>65163580Depends on caliber, maker, and who it went to
Don’t know if it’s on topic but I picked up a sporterized Spanish Mauser this year. This is the closest I’ll ever get to a cute latina.
>>65163405as with mine, the history is is that whoever cut the barrel did a not bad job.
>>65163583Looks really clean. Aim high, taco lover. Keep looking.
>>65163581DWM, 9mm, Imperial Army markings. I said fuck it and bought it because I always wanted one.
>>65163590Oh yeah thats a good price for onemags alone are like $200 each and a holster can be $200-$500Post pics of it if you can
>>65163590>I said fuck it and bought it because I always wanted one.That's pretty much the real reason we do this, isn't it? Counterpoint, I have fucked myself by saying>oh, I already have one of those.
>>65163586I intend to pick up some deer with it, I’m new to guns and hunting but I’m pretty sure anything the 30-06 can pick up (records for both deer and bear) the 7x57 Mauser can do the same. If 30-06 is Donkey Kong, 7mm Mauser is Cranky Kong.
I met a nice kid with a 1917 Lee Enfield at the range and he wanted to take a look at my K98-k. I didn't realize he had it until he came up to me after the range closed. Anyway, it's pretty neat to see young people enjoying old guns.
>>65163595>7x57 Mauser7x57 and 9.3x62 will last you your whole life and never leave you wanting for more. You could even go down to 9.3x57 and be happy in North America. I personally think that exiting the far side and killing the tree behind your animal isn't helping anything. I would want the bullet to stop just under the skinnon the far side, with all energy transferred in terminal ballistics. Not carrying through and leaving the rest in a tree. But everyone has an opinion.
>>65163592
>>65163601Forgot to mention it's matching.
>>65163600I was kind of thinking about a 9.3x62 as a bear gun, my state is demcucked but I do believe black bears are enough of a problem that they’ll open up a season for them in the next five to ten. It also would work and be available in Africa if I ever win the lottery and felt like taking on Cape Buffalo.
>>65163601Looks pretty nicegood jobStill trying to get my first one but simpson wont come down on the price lolMight go all out and get an American Eagle in 9mm if I get the money
>>65163607>9.3x62 as a bear gunLikely all I will ever realistically need, even as I look for a CZ 550 in .375 H&H. Silly, really. But then again...>>65163590>I said fuck it and bought it because I always wanted one.Trying to hold back for 6 months cool down period.
>>65163583Of course it's on topic. And the latina gals that were born in the US, they don't have the incredibly strict racial loyalty the immigrants have.
>>65163116>Post the gats you somehow managed to get from a gun show.I've only ever bought one gat at a gun show and it was a first year USP in 9mm. As for surp, I think I won a matching K98k today, still waiting to receive my invoice for it.
>>65163607>9.3x62Great cartridge.Incredibly underrated in the US for some reason.Side note: Some US-made 9.3x62 ammo is based on necked-up .30-06 cases and have an undersized rim, that can allegedly cause extraction issues, but It's not something I've personally encountered. If you're using a kar98-based rifle with a fucknormous Mauser claw extractor, you're highly unlikely to encounter this issue.
>>65163983I thought a necked up 30-06 with a bigger bullet was called a 35 wehlen
>>65163983Honestly, and maybe I'm projecting here, but those numbers together look weird and puts me off. Even though I recognize and respect it.
Everything I've ever gotten has been from a gun show. Nothing phenomenal, but I love my M95 to death
>>65164101Actually I lied, the Chilean Mauser was a gift, but the guy who gave it to me got it himself from a gun show a million years ago. Still, everything I've bought for myself came from a show
>>65164101The M95 is such a slim and graceful rifle, I love mine as well
My first M.95 remains the only gun I've actually got from a gun show. I traded a Remington 710 and $50 for it in 2012. 1919-assembled OWG-Steyr that went to Czechoslovakia and then Bulgaria.
>>65164014Some are, when they are the .35 Wheelen. The 9.3x62mm is a different cartridge, 0.366" caliber.
>>65163983>underrated in the US>>65164016>those numbers together look weirdMetric bias. Understandable, but a pity.
>>65164101>>65164113>>65164233You guys gotta stop M.95 posting, I already have one but I'm tempted to get a Hungarian made M.95 to go with my Steyr.
>>65163592>mags alone are like $200 eachNever ever buy original Luger magazines if you have to, the Mec-gar repros are extremely well made, and correct most cycling problems that Lugers have, as well as being $40.
>>65164573But it's a sexy ass rifle, surely you need another to keep your first one warm in the safe
>m95 postingDont forget you also need to buy all the 1928 8x56 boxes you can find to collect all the different clip markings and types.
C96 on legacy for $1,200 if that one anon is still wanting one
>>65163342>filenameThe Mummy is up there when it comes to /msg/ core movies thats for sure.
>>65163116Forgive the non-milsurp guns, this is my only picture and it’s a family picture. Got my first milsurp at a gun show- an Arisaka type 38. Funny back story to how I got it >take Chinese gf hunting for pheasants >she thinks it’ll be funny to whip me with a stick across my ass >turn around and whip her with the stick and scream at her>she says it was the scariest she has ever seen my face and knew she fucked up. Apologized profusely>bag out early, leave for gun show >man has a set up, she spots the type 38 on display and knows exactly what it was from Chinese dramas she watched as a child>boomer is impressed she knows what it is, offers her a great deal, throws in bayonet for free>she gives me the money to buy it, circa 2016 so prices weren’t outrageous yet>we go to a range where she empties a box of ammo, declares it her favorite gun, and asks me to never get rid of her gun. >her time in America is up and she leaves. Haven’t seen her since, but I still have her gun.
>>65165018Anon, PLEASE stop buying dogshit guns and save for nice examples.
>>65164573Imagine not having a Hungarian M.95.
>>65165242>Imagine not having a Hungarian M.95.>he doesn't have an actual Hungarian conversionI am disappointed I didn't try for the straight Austrian conversion that came up for auction the other day. Went for only $400. It wasn't given to the Bulgarians and still retained it's unique sight hood.
>>65164784>But it's a sexy ass rifle, surely you need another to keep your first one warm in the safeI would like to represent both halves of the Empire so I don't see why not.>>65165242>Imagine not having a Hungarian M.95.Damn, that's a nice spread. I'll have to work on getting the Hungarian and Bulgarian M.95 long bois.>>65165274>I am disappointed I didn't try for the straight Austrian conversion that came up for auction the other day. Went for only $400. It wasn't given to the Bulgarians and still retained it's unique sight hood.I saw that one too. Put it on my list but ended up winning the dou44 so scratched it off the list. You try for anything else in that auction?
>>65165018based straw purchase
>>65165296>You try for anything else in that auction?Naw. Auctions like that always go for retard bucks. It brings out all the whales who overspend. I'm also trying to save up and I just bought this too.
>>65165274Correct: I do not have a 8x56-converted Hungarian M.95.
>>65163116>Gun Show EditionFunny enough, I just bought a type 99 from my local gun show, thought it was sold but when I saw it was still there and asked to checked the bore I just had to get it. I asked the seller if he had some wiggle room on the price, offered $500, but didn't want to go that low especially with the bore was, so he told me he would do $550 (he was selling it for $585) and bought it
>>65165563I know it's a shit pic, but it shows no use on the bore, it's so clean
>>65165563>>65165569With a chrome-plated bore I'd be surprised if it didn't look good.
>>65165563Looks like a nice 20th series. Kokura installed their sling swivels upside down for most of the 20th series. Very distinctive. Probably a little high on the price, but it's probably okay with at least the muzzle over, which you should totally not store locked on the muzzle as the plastic will deform under pressure.I've got like 60 type 99s and I can tell you I've never seen one that didn't have at least a very good bore. Most are mint as no Type 99s would have had long service lives.
>>65165563>>65165569looks like a good example. Your picture is a little blurry, does it have the AA ladder sight wings and is a mum present?
>>65165563Always haggle.
>>65165606>>65165698When I was told they're using chrome lined barrels I was surprised, I didn't think they would be using it their barrels.Thanks for the heads up on the muzzle cover, already took it off. I was wo dering what series it was but the stmp is kind of hard to see a bit, I did wanted to get it a bit lower but he was a bit firm on the price so not too bad I guess. It's only my second Japanese rifle, it's next to my Type 38.>>65165752No Mum and no AA ladder sights
>>65165826>no mum or AA sightsthats ok, you didn't get ripped off or anything but those points are a good spot to beat someone up on the price a little. With shipping, FFL and all the other misc costs, $550 is what most people would probably end up paying online for a gun like that anyway. The type 99 was the first mass produced military rifle with a chrome lined bore so its an expectation, not a selling point for it to be in good condition. Your rifle looks fine and I have seen people take way worse deals on jap surp so overall its perfectly admirable pickup
>>65165146>stop buying dogshit gunsYou'd have a fucking aneurysm if you saw my collection.
>buy lead sled to test new loads>checks house>no weights or any sandbagsflying sled it is then
>>65165937Come on man! You should at least have 50# or beans.
>Shop near me has a Uraguayan 71/94 Mauser carbine for sale for $500Thought about getting it but I know ammo would be unobtanium
Avanti! I like this gun
>Ordered a Type 99Finally found one for a good price online that wasn't a last ditch model, can't wait for it to get here. That aside, anyone know of a good way to blank adapt an SMLE in a non permanent way? I have an Ishapore 2A that I want to use those super cheap German surplus blanks in at an airshit milsim event, but I need a way to make sure hot gas isn't venting out the barrel totally unobstructed along with potential debris. Having looked around so far it seems like I'd have to have something fabricated
>>65168006>Finally found one for a good price online that wasn't a last ditch model, can't wait for it to get here.Pics. I love me Type 99s.
How good are the spanish mausers like the m43 or m44? How do they compare to the other ww2 mausers like the vz24 and the k98? I want to buy a civil war era spanish mauser but the m44 looks kind of good as well
I just got two surplus FAL bayonets...one tubular and the other one is a regular one.
>>65166805Damn...italian berthier? tell me you got the weird string pulled wooden clips
>>65168332The Austrailian ones go for more than you'd thing. Research before selling, if you have one.
>go to gun show hoping to see a good variety of handguns>it's about 95% lever action rifles and pump shotgunsI mean, it's cool to see those and everything, but any hopes of finding some niche handguns I couldn't simply find in the glass at my LGS were immediately dashed.
>>65168559The only gun shows worth going to are the big Tulsa show and SOS.
>>65168561>big Tulsa show and SOSVegas antique arms show too.
>>65168561>>65168574Boomers gonna boom.
>>65168579pretty much why I added Vegas show yea. its a BIGTIME boomer show, so lots of them show up with their 500 Lugers and are generally pretty workable on price and other stuff.I go every year and never gone home empty handed. The local shows around me have been generally not bad but I know this isnt the case for everyone so I consider myself lucky.
>>65168350Italian vetterli vitali and I need the clips and ammo and reloading setup still
>>65168127Will post pics when it gets here, should be Friday if USPS decides to be competent and stick to a schedule (they won't).
>>65168639
>>65168579Yeah, see pic related. But I've always scored something amazing when I go. Like every single time. Either amazing price, super interesting gun, or a combination of both.
>>65168666>Fucking pursesTyp.
>>65168662>me awaiting my next rifle delivery
>>65168666The shows where I live have the entire show's supply of milsurp sitting on one table and its usually all overpriced>>65168668Show I went to about 2 weeks ago had a booth giving haircuts
>>65168753>booth giving haircutsThat's a new one. Not even a bad idea.>make me look like this!>i can't make you look like that...
