Bubba'd milsurps found at craft show

[BeaverMeat]

Ah....Bruno. He knows better than to pass stuff like this off, but these guns with BS provenance still turn up

Couple years ago had an M38 Mosin "sniper" for sale.

Given that, I'd doubt the authenticity of anything on the table.

Be very aware of what you are buying.

Yup, Bruno. He's my favourite table!

 

[tootall]

Bubba'd? Why would a dedicated Marksman/'Sniper' rifle have a bayonette?

For Extreme Close Quarter Sniping, obviously...

The title of this thread is a misnomer.

Rare Historic Collectables of Unbelievable Value found at craft show.

 

[sigrunes]

Unbelievable is right. Lol. Also the bayo is for when the sniper runs out of ammo he can throw the gun with the bayo out like a long range spear. Like Leonidas does to xerxes at the end of 300 lol.

 

[Magellann]

I'd call it a table full of overpriced old guns.

 

[collector67]

$795 for an ugly M24/47? Wow, my $325 investment a few years ago has paid off, I guess!

 

[fat tony]

The most interesting thing is the (AGAIN, BUBBA). M1 with the BM 59 stock at the top of the picture. Great to see them posted here. I bet Bruno will be fuming when he gets wind of this thread.

Guns at a Craft show just would not happen around theses parts...

 

[SomebodyTookMyName]

This fellow shows up at the gun show in Saskatoon every year. He's had those guns along with him for three or four years now. Calling him a snake oil salesman is reasonable, though I tend to just call him an a##hole personally. He also does stuff like charge $6-700 for used Savage packages guns, and tries to sell NCStaroptics as functional items, saying they're as good as Zeiss or Swarovski.

I usually make a special stop to harass him every year.

This thread gives me a good idea though. When people ask me what my hobby is, I am going to start saying: "arts & crafts".

Can I get my PAL reclassified as "ACL"?

I thought that green masking tape looked familiar, lol...

That as well

I got burned once. Was a little too eager to buy, and the light wasn't all that great, and my eye wasn't looking for the fine details that I picked up on much later.

Like the action being permanently epoxy bedded to the stock...

 

[Gatehouse]

Looks like a pile of overpriced junk to me!

 

[RobertMcC]

I mean look what appears to be a wanna-be Tanker M1 Garand with a folding stock. Above the mauser "sniper" probably has that for 1 million dollars.

 

[fat tony]

Hey Bruno, post it on Kijiji.

 

[mrbeil]

Pretty sure I saw that Yugo sniper at a recent gunshow in Winnipeg.

Yup. He was also at the one in Carman

 

[Grizzly Adams]

What the hell is that thing at the top, that you can barely see ? Pistol grip ? Mag bottom looks like a Garand, Garand gas cylinder, but way too short.

Grizz

 

[Travis Bickle]

Did you say he was trying to get $1250 for a Yugo SKS and a s**ty scope slapped on it with a wonky mount?!
$1250!?

BM 59 is PROHIB. It is most likely a doctored up M1.

 

[Mark-II]

There have been a few M1D and No4 Sniper "type" rifles as well.

Not my area, so couldn't say if they were real or humped
