Which Milsurp still eludes your collection?

[bp2626]

SVT-38
Mosin Dragoon
Mosin 1907 Carbine

Had a chance at all three over the years but they all had significant problems

 

[Mr. Dynamite]

From a couple years ago:

I hesitated. Why did I hesitate??

 

[Mr. Dynamite]

fixed that bad link

[Evanguy]

Lee metford I
Lee metford 22 trainer with metford rifling

 

[Mosin Nagant]

Any Finnish mosin Nagant besides:
M39
M24

Any of the others if I find them I will be on them like flies on bees on honey.

 

[ricohman]

K98
I find the variables around finding a nice one even more confusing than Enfields.

 

[B.H.B]

Fn fal c1-a1

 

[GunsNotPuns]

A decent k98k. I can get Soviet captures and Israeli acquired rifles but a decent German rifle seems impossible in my neck of the woods.

A Type 99 with aircraft sights and monopod. I know these are stupid hard to find and pricy when found so I'd settle for just a decent one without the sights and monopod.

 

[redivivus]

The responses make for interesting reading. As a group, we do have good taste

Have been fairly lucky to be able to pick up the ones I've really wanted so far. The elusive ones for me that are proving to be the hardest,
1. Lee Enfield
2. M1917
3. MAS 49/56

I know, no excuse as they are all fairly common but for the life of me I cannot seem to find exceptionally clean ones and I'm not picky about manufacture dates/ arsenals/ war service/ countries served etc. Need to look harder I guess.

 

[Norwegian22]

Too many:

FN-49
M1 Garand
German K98K
Lee Enfield No.4 Mk.1
Japanese Arisaka
French MAS-36 and/or MAS-49/56
Swedish M96

 

[Norwegian22]

Is it weird that I've had an AG42B, Hakim, Rasheed, vz52/57, and Mas36 for years but only got a K98 last month???

What I really need is a Springfeild 1903, Winchester 1897 and Model 12 Trench guns. EVEN REPOS WOULD DO!!!

K31 swiss would be ok too....missed the boat on those. Didn't know I wanted one till they doubled in price.

Not at all, I also have the triple AG42B, Hakim and Rasheed combo. I only just bought a K31, and Swedish M38. I had a Swede Ljungman before the Swede Mauser lol.

 

[Rickyy101]

Boar mauser

 

[Kevin98]

Norwegian Krag-Jorgensen M1912 Carbine, and 1904 or 1907 carbine, 1895 or 1897 carbine.

Mexican and Colombian Steyr 1912 rifles and Brazilian mod. 1935 rifle. Should be able to find that last one without too much trouble though. Oh, and still need an Argentine 1909 and Gew. 98.

 

[burns k31]

Boar mauser

Boer mauser?
I think the shop in Waterloo has one.

 

[tiriaq]

Boar mauser

Two Boer Mausers sold at auction a week ago. One for $300, the other for $400, plus commission and tax. Neither had an owner's name carved, as some do.

 

[cyclone]

x2! Kick myself everyday for passing up the K11+case of GP11 for $600 combo not even two years ago. Dang it!

I wonder when Swedish Mausers are going to experience a similar price-jump....

 

[Peteroliver1234]

I wonder when Swedish Mausers are going to experience a similar price-jump....

I am thinking the same. I have bought a few cause they are so cheap. So good, so old, and so cheap. Hope I'm right

 

[mr.e moose]

I wonder when Swedish Mausers are going to experience a similar price-jump....

Like the Swiss K-31 they are gone .Prices will just increase.

 

[Eaglelord17]

Doubt it. Swedish Mausers have been on the market since the 1980s, and haven't really had a large price jump in that time. Nice guns, but there is really no reason for a random price increase at the moment.
