I figured that. thank you.

Is range 14 open on thursdays? I was planning on going there for the first time this thursday but the site doesn't have hours for monday, tuesday, or thursday. So I'm assuming there only open wed, fri, sat, &,sun?

I remember having a hard time with this. I did it so long ago i don't remember exactly what i did to get it back in but i do remember having to use a flat head screwdriver to compress the metal spring down. Sorry i know this probably doesnt really help lol.

My thoughts exactly. One of the best purchases i'v ever made.

Thats awesome. I was also playing with the other mossy they had next to yours, w/ the pistol grip & adjustable stock. I think it was a regular 590 or 500, also very tempting for me to pick up. I promised my self my next firearm would be something of the same 9 calibers i already own, but all these nice shotties are swaying me a little. I might just have to buy my very first shotgun after all these years of putting it off.

Cause I was playing with it on friday lol. I was close to buying it myself but my old lady would kill me seeing we still have wedding stuff to pay for.

Nice!! Did you buy that from BA?

Yea Yea Yea. You know what i mean.

I'm sure there awesome. When i finally come across one and at the rite price it will be mine. I'v been really slacking with my WWII collection so ill just have to start looking a little harder.

i'v been looking for one for a while. Would love to add one to my WWII collection

Is that a gewehr on top?

If you were to buy one from say Sarco why not refinish the stock yourself? I don't even think anything they had there had any original markings on the stocks you could mistakingly sand away so you could even go as far as completely sanding it down, re-stain and re-sealing.

I hear ya, when i was there in June they had a decent amount of German K98's but like you said they were all in crappy shape. I would have still picked another one up but i couldn't see spending $375-$450 on anything they had. So i just spent a lot more on a garand..

I bought my 39' original from sayreville sportsmen but it was one of those they could only find two to bring in. It was in insane shape and you could tell that someone in the past lightly refinished the stock. Not all matching but who cares. I doubt they have anymore but give them a call. Sarco in PA will have a bunch. Most will be in so so shape but you might find a really nice one.

Noticed that same crap. Apparently i also missed the memo when i bought my AR that i have to go out and kill people w/ it. Guess I'm just a bad example as well

I can't even watch any of that crap coverage anymore (w/ all do respect and sympathy to all affected from this tragedy) Ill-informed people going crazy about Assault Rifle bans, or just a straight up gun ban is just pissing me off. I HATE ignorant people who just jump on a band wagon idea every time a tragedy strikes. I guess you can't blame the average media influenced American for automatically wanting to ban guns or assault rifles seeing how that sicko got everything legally and all over the news all you hear is ASSAULT RIFLE!!!!!! DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!!!! even though he also used a 870, and 2 .40 glocks. But at least they weren't ASSAULT RIFLES!!!!!! DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!!! so no body really cares about those. It's really so sad that every time a tragic shooting like this happens, the un-sympatatic anti gun lobbies start to drool over the ammunition (no pun intended) that they are getting for their cause. Just sad And Bloomberg is a POS waist of life. He needs a AR15 shoved up his a**. Go back to worrying about banning soda in NY you fascist! Rant Over! :fugg:

It was probably the same guy who told me that the clearly illegal MKA 1919 semi-auto style shotguns they had for sale was "completely legal as long as the round cap isn't over 5"??????? No sorry.... I can definitely see this happing at SS. Not bashing them at all as i go there often and i do like the store and the people in there, and love supporting local shops, especially ones that support local ranges and clubs. I'v never gotten an attitude from anyone there either, i was always treated nicely there. BUT i have gotten some pretty poor information in there before. Other examples of poor information iv gotten from them. "The closest thing you can get to an AK47 legally in NJ is a Saiga .223 w/o the pistol grip and a 10rd mag" "You won't be able to find 8mm mauser anywhere unless it's old surplus stuff" (when asking for M1 Garand specific grade 30-06) "You can use whatever 30-06 you want." Although another guy there corrected him. "The above mentioned auto loading shotty mishap" and a few others over the years but you get the point I'm not gonna sit here and bash them into the ground.

I got my german K98 from sayreville sportsmen a while back. they had three at that time. not sure if they have any left. Your best bet is Sarco in PA they had about 100 K98's and Mosins

Looked it up in the trusty ole' Gun Traders Guide book. They made like a million different model 77s chambered in about every caliber there is, with a million different options. They all seem to be priced around the same though. Book say's (priced w/o scope) NiB: $500-$525 Ex: $382-$430 Gd: $247-$315 Id say you'd be on the higher side of all those including the scope. Hope that helps a little

Did you ever end up picking one up? Cause i'v been seeing them everywhere lately if your still looking. Recently seen 2 at chayenne mt. outfitters, 2 at sayreville sportsmen, 1 at brick armory, 1 at sure shot, and like 5 at sarco in PA. Just a heads up in case your still on the hunt

Great links. Thank you I'm going to try and pick up some of the Greek stuff to. Everyone seems to have no problems w/ it

Wow i just drooled on my computer, great collection. Thank you for the great advise. I haven't gotten into reloading yet, but now that i have the garand i think i might start, I also have saved a lot of 8mm mauser & 308 brass id also like to reload. Any link to that pirvi ammo? Just so i would know I'm looking at the right stuff. Thanks again

Took it back out today and it worked great with the AE M1 garand 30-06 so problem solved just shitty iranian ammo.

The ammo just wasn't firing, didn't seem tike a light strike on the primer either. I asked the guy behind the counter his opinion on whether it was a light strike or not and he didn't seem to think it was either. When i took a closer look at the ammo the primers seem to be seated pretty deep and sunken in. Also the bullets them selves where spinning on the case so when one did fire i think it wasn't leaving the chamber right and the spent shell was also not ejecting. I took it home and tore it all apart cleaning everything w/ special attention on the bolt. Nothing was really terribly dirty. Might try and take it back out today and see if maybe all it needed was a good clean. Also Does any one know how far the firing pin should stick out when u push it forward w/ you finger?

Look for a good price for sure. They tend to be on the expensive side (at least for my budget). So if you find one for like $400 most likely it's a pos or needs a ton of TLC. Of course thats not in all cases, but If you found a "mint" porsche for $2000 you'd prob ask some questions too right?
