October Purchases

Why does 'bubba' have to do those things!

Still it looks very nice and you don't see those too often. Is it still in its original caliber? A good find in any case.

I know. I think everything is original except for operating rod/sleeve as it has a different serial number. The serial number is sanded away off the butt stock, but what is left of the finish matches the hand guard wood which has the right serial number so I assume it is the original stock.

Mint 44' Long Branch, looks like it just rolled off the assembly line!

Got myself a 1944 no5 mk1, it was in pretty rough shape and needed a magazine but it cleaned up well

 

[hunterinthewoods]

1941 Tula SVT40 ( headed out tmr to shoot paper)

And I know these are not MILSURP, but I just bought them....purchase is a purchase.

My $100 mossy 500 (stripped camo painted wood, BLO'd /added full barrel) and new Maverick 88 slug shotgun

i received my first milsurp this weekend - an sks from canadaammo.

Took me the better part of today, plus a few hours last night to get all the cosmo cleaned off.

Longest part was cleaning the stock.. I used a heat gun.... need to find a better method for cleaning the furniture.

Cosmo is some nasty nasty stuff.

Mineral spirits works very nice for the metal stuff

[/URL]

[woodchopper]

photos to come

While these are not really milsurp I thought I should list them here, picked up a 1905 Ross sporter in 303, Enfield EAL

and the milsurp an 1888 Patt'n bayonet dated 1897

 

[fenceline]

Does ammo count??? Hahaha

 

[fugawi]

While not a milsurp firearm, good reference books are indispensable for the serious collector and collectible in their own right.

Two recent purchases enroute:

The U.S. distributor of French Service Handguns has one left. You can order it thru Amazon.com.

 

[polaris]

Teutonic Firepower

Got a new 125 year old toy last week.
A Mauser 71/84 from the Erfurt Arsenal:

Here with it's sibling from Danzig:

I think my pictures are not that great, sorry

 

[bearhunter]

Polaris, those are lovely. Great condition, very seldom found in.

 

[Claven2]

Picked up this little gem, those who know what it is will appreciate the rarity in Canada

Like virtually all of them though, it's rock-hard.

 

[joe n]

Nice Type 14 holster! Yes, mine is pretty stiff as well. Must mean you have somehting to tuck into it?

 

[Claven2]

I do, but it's at the importer for a while yet

 

[ben777lemay]

Those actions looks like the mosin nagant but much better made

 

[bearhunter]

Not a lot of difference there at all, kind of an amalgamation of the Berdan I, II and the Mauser went into the design of the Mosin Nagant.

The MN, lasted a lot longer though on the battle fields.
