March Purchases........
- Thread starter Stevo
- Start date
OK I’ll go first. This is more like the last month and a half:
Mint MAS 36/51 that came with the sling, butt pad and a box of ammo:
Remington M1903 (Modified) with a replacement scant stock:
A nice 1945 Long Branch No.4. Unfortunately bubba refinished the stock but for $325.00 I couldn’t walk away:
And last but not least an all matching No4.Mk1(T) with it’s chest and scope tin:

That Long branch is SWEET. I wouldn't consider that a bubba job though. More of a restoration then a preservation.
Thanks for the feedback.
From the looks of the stock it didn’t need to be refinished. The rifle looks as if it were un-issued. The person who did the work just wanted the rifle to look "better". If the work was done well the rifle was still in service that would have been just fine but it wasn’t. A rifle is only original once and anything done to it post service is technically bubba. I have a nice 1945 CNo.7 that has had a bit of bubba’s handy work done to it. The inspection stamps between the two rifles all match except for one. I suspect these two rifles came down the assembly line within a few hours of each other. Though also a bubba thing I’m going to swap the wood between the two. This I my eyes will be more of a restoration of sorts and will put all the bubba bits on the Cno.7. Still not original but closer.

M4 & another Russian SKS in the mail as we speak. Pics when they arrive
March of 2008 purchase
Too bad I have to leave it in the U.S. when I'm done school. Unless I can find a legal, 4+ inch barrel for it...
Mmmm Hungarian goodness...just dont toss the original barrel. Leave it somewhere safe!

Picked this up the other day. Fairly decent example of a factory half'-stock sporter (17,### range serial on left chamber). I know, some will say it's a "bubba", but I have another with same unique buttplate and have seen two others the 'Net which is proof enough for me.

Well that depends on how original and how many of the bits and pieces are present and match.
Also keep in mind that a scope will fetch upwards of $1200.00US on eBay and the bracket as much as $500.00.
But I would guess between $3000.00 and $5000.00 if you can find someone with the loot.
As for the one I bought the seller and I did some serious horse trading in order to get the cash portion of the price to a point I could afford it.
It's a "bring back", too. I still have while to decide what to do with it, I don't finish my internship for almost 2 years.There's a strong chance I will be staying here indefinitely, so I may be able to keep it forever. I don't think I will bother trying to get a longer barrel, it's a pretty complex design. Also, considering they're worth $600-700, I stand to make a $500 profit should I ever sell. It's a sweet little gun!
Oh well to his is own. I am looking for a rifle exactly like that Long Branch (hint) Its a nice looking rifle, Know where to find one?
Quite an expensive month, since I told my wife I was "slowing down"...
PPSH41 and SVT40
And then I stumbled across this Arisaka T99 with bayonet...I have been looking for an unmessed nice one for some time. All matching, chromed barrel, unsharpened bayonet with frog, I'm pretty pleased with it.
Thanks for looking
