Real Cool and Over 10K

Unobtainable

The Absolute Highlight of the Show (the anything category! :cool:)
 
Came home with a Brazilian m968...missed the opportunity to get one a few months back from P&S...maybe not a milsurp in the purest sense but fricking cool looking in my opinion.
 
Picked up a 1935 "Hex" receiver Mosin with all the fixings (sling, bayo, pouch, & 30 rounds on strippers) for $160. Shiny bore, sharp rifling up to the crown, & fair condition wood - but non matching bolt. I think I did okay.

Like I said, I seriously doubt the majority of the staff even know what they are. Talk to Markus or ask where the K31 bayonets are (or used to be) since they're next to each other. Or look for the freestanding rack of what seems to be consignment guns near the management offices at the front, they're in a cardboard box there.

When you walk through the doors, they are located on your right hand side on the free-standing rack right outside their office

Went down there today and finally, finally got my greedy hands on 10 of them, at 6 bucks apiece!!:eek:
Oh well, the price is the price I guess, that supply and demand thing.

The project bike was mine...it did not sell. There was another there which was ride-able.....one of my best friends a couple tables down from me was selling that one. It was sold by the middle of Friday. Mine had some interest from more than a few people, but no takers.

My buy of the year, and in fact the best buy I have made at Calgary in the 10 years that I have gone, was an armourer's chest of drawers full of LongBranch Enfield and DCRA parts. Modesty prevents me from saying what was in there, but suffice to say I am extremely happy.....it was an Enfield collector's wet dream.

Congratulations on the armourer chest!! One of those has been on my list for years and so far I have never come across one.

This was more than the usual armourers chest. It was about 3 feet tall, 2 feet wide, and had about 7 drawers with partitions inside. Two of the drawers were empty, the rest were full of mostly NOS ans in the grease Enfield pieces. Needless to say, I am just about set for life on LB Enfield stuff.
 
Dang! I wish I had known that was you, I would have loved to chat in person/ thank you for basically becoming my go to C.No7 info source haha.
