Shops in NJ that have Old Military rifles?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a shop here in good ole' NJ that handles old military rifles?

 

What I am looking for is  Springfield M1903, preferably an M1903A3 but if its in good shape has a higher serial number. The only ones I have seen are at the gun show I went to in PA but I'm concerned about condition if I buy something like that on gunbroker

 

Any suggestions or advice?

 

 

thanks

I understand wanting to see a rifle and touching it before buying it. Especially a mil-surp.

Reach out to your local shops and see if they have one. There is a shop in Rio Grande with a Model 1917 Enfield.....

+1 for Joe at Mastodon .I was at mastodon the other day,  he had a few surplus rifles, 1917 or 1903a3 (not sure which, only saw bottom)  through sks.  give Joe a call at 973-764-9550 to check on what he has.  Shop is near Cherry ridge range in highland lakes, NJ.

I know this is kind of old thread. Bob Little Sports Shop in Glassboro has some from milsurp stuff, Butches in Vineland usually has 6-10 milsurps hanging around. I dont know of any shops that buy up milsurp. But, they all will take on trade or consignment.

Tanners in PA has best selection. They also sell on gunbroker, but go in person. Their gunbroker listings are a little shady at times. For instance they were selling a 1935 Brazilian Mauser as an Embassy Rifle. In reality it was a 1935 barreled action with 1908 and 1912 parts.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
