What do you constantly scan the EE milsurp list for? Anything rare?

[ArtyMan]

I would never have guessed.......just kidding!

Its all I know!

 

[MarkdevCanada]

I'm always looking for a C No 7.

 

[Dryzen]

7.92x57mm rifles and 7.62x54R mm rifles.
Or just to keep abreast of the milsurp prices.

 

[can14]

Browning High Power Pistols and Accessories. But, they seem to have dried up in the last five years. Victoria was a real good place to pick up mint guns and accessories in the 1970's.

German Mauser rifles in 8x57 and .22Lr. Both sporting and military.

Sorry to be a bit late, but I've just noticed your post. Being in UK I only have the one Muaser ES350B, but it's all original and very nice to behold. It shoots very well, too, as I have a set of old-fashioned looking see-through scope mounts and a Ajack x3 scope on it.

It took me fifteen years to find a rear sight - in fact, I didn't find it at all, but Jon Speed [author of the Mauser books] did, in a gun-show in Kentucky. It was still in the white it its greaseproof wrapping, and it cost me three times more than the gun did originally.

PM me if you want to see any pics, although I doubt you'll see anything you haven't seen before.

[camster]

Just like when I was a kid and, took off to the "toy section" of a store..

I thought I knew what I wanted 'til I found something even more interesting. "Ninja quick" is right...sometimes there's good deals for a ninja!

 

[woodchopper]

I used to be all over the enfields and bought the odd nagant but I think I've hit a point where I need a change.

going after some Martini Henrys now

 

[Coyote Ugly]

Lease back flying saucers with 500,000,000,000,000 Light years on the warp speed odometer.

 

[Hawkshadow]

Pak 43. Gently used. Accompanying tracked motorized mount optional.

 

[ABCZAR]

Always looking for a C broad arrow marked SMLE....sporter for resto or full wood.

 

[Tumbleweed]

New, unfired1935 Brazilians. ..

 

[Aniest]

Always checking for a BSA-Shirley serial number prefex on a No5 MkI... not Bubba'd with all the proper furnature, matching bolt and wood that wasn't pieced together.

For a reasonable price!!!!

I've only seen one BSA No5 for sale... and it had mismatched wood (3 different stain and/or wear amounts), mismatched parts and a Fudged flash hider (Bubba drilled ports in it). Didn't want to put the time into it, considering the $900.00 price tag (cause a BSA is soooo rare the salesman says).

 

[Deltasilver]

Gently used, solid shooters for around $350.00 (shipped).

With lots of folks obsessing over numbers matching trophy guns, I've been finding some great deals. K98s (a Czech rework, an IDF rework and a vet bring-back), a very nice AG42b, a Portuguese 1904/39, a matching numbers but well worn Longbranch No.4 and a Hakim.

Good solid shooters that leave me with $$$ for ammo.

 

[chartwell]

It's all about the Garands; but you have to be quick to get them...

These seem to be selling all over the place these days as far as price goes.

Which of the manufacturers are considered the most sought after these days?

 

[chartwell]

Geez - that rarer than an Boer War Ross with unit markings stored in cosmoline and unfired in 80 years...

I don't often see Ross Rifles for sale on EE, am I just blind, or are these being posted less and less often?

 

[Coyote Ugly]

I'm sure im not the only one thats hit refresh on the EE milsurp listing a few times hoping to be the first person to notice a new listing that i've been wanting to add to my collection..

What hard to find items do you scan the milsurp listings for?

Only Chinese Norincos and Chinese Milsurps!

LOL See Betasites post in Off Topic.
