RobCo 16 Posted April 14, 2016 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mipafox 438 Posted April 14, 2016 If you are interested in private sales through FFL: http://1919a4.com/ If you are interested, they have serious collectors and enthusiasts. Not just high end stuff, they do a lot of wheeling and dealing but they are trustworthy guys. Some are in Jersey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAPP 11 Posted April 14, 2016 A few years ago, the firearms guild in Rahway had quite a few... old military weapons and muskets were there specialty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MedicYeti 96 Posted April 14, 2016 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..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrg455 6 Posted April 15, 2016 Not sure where you're at in the state, but I would recommend Sarco as well, plus Heritage Guild (which is right next door to Sarco) has a decent selection now as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dajonga 396 Posted April 15, 2016 Centaur in Mt. Holly had a few milsurps on the rack today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

son of sam 9 Posted June 8, 2016 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capt14k 2,052 Posted August 14, 2016 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.

maintenanceguy 510 Posted August 14, 2016 Butches' in Vineland (already mentioned) always has a few trade ins. If you ask, they often have some older stuff in the back too. I've bought a few project guns there for $50 - $100. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
