Well I finally made it back from work(what a horrible 3 weeks) and am willing to head to sarco with some of yall to help you pick out some winnners. If you are interested in doing a milsurp shoot prior to heading to sarco I am willing to bring what ever you want. You name it, I've got it 8-) . Kinda like a try it before you buy it. Whenever you want to meet up let me know. I am available for the next three weeks.

There you are! I was actually just going to send you a pm the other day asking when you'd be back LOL.

 

I'm sure Richie would be interested in taking a trip so lets have him chime in and see when he's free. My biggest problem is I'm swamped this weekend and then I leave for vacation the following week. So I could either do this coming monday, or I'd have to wait like a whole another week. We'll figure something out though!

Would love to - I'm good for Sunday and also open during the week after work.

I'm away if the weather is nice this weekend but I'll be around if it's garbage. I'm around the 29th and 30th, though.

 

On a side note: I stopped at Sarco 2 weeks ago. I doubt you'll really stumble on any hidden treasures. They know what they're selling and how much it's worth.

Well maybe a change of plans, there is a gun show in Wind Gap, PA this weekend. I have been there several times and although it is small, it always tends to be nice. And on a plus it is only about 10mins from my house LOL. Also the weather as of 1055am on wed, is that Saturday is 50% chance of thunderstorms and Sunday is supposed to be beautiful.

I'd like to see someone manage to get something nice out of Sarco. :?:

 

We needs some tips and tricks for Sarco! The store appears to be full of crap, although their Shotgun News tabloid ads seem to have good stuff....

The ads they put out give you a chubby but then you show up and your chubby is ground bound at mach 3

Ask Richie how I did... My M44 is fair, damn accurate, with a mirror clean bore. The stock was crap, but no cracks.

 

Unless I need an obscure part that I cannot find elsewhere I likely won't go back.

Your M44 is beautifully accurate, just a little harsh on the eyes. It's a shooter, not a looker (with all due respect )

I never represented it as other than a shooter But if I had to pick beautiful over functional - well, you've seen my truck

I think i am heading to sarco on Friday if anybody wants to tag along or possibly car pool. I have to go get some 1911 grips, and various parts, and see what else i can waste my money on.

What time on Friday?

Whenever you want to go Mr. Richie!

I should be good for Friday - would love to tag along if OK

I just looked at thier website, and it says that they close at 4:30pm on friday. So yall that have to work lets figure out a good time that would work best for most.

How's mid-day ? Say around 12:30 ?

Oh boy. I work until 3:30pm on Friday. Guess I'm out.

No problem - we'll make it later if ok with usnmars

 

I'll get there around 3:15 to look around as I've never been there and would probably get overwhelmed by what I don't know about C&R.

It's like walking into a dark underground lair filled with rusty weapons.

From Sarco site:

 

Showroom Hours:

Monday - Friday 8:00am - 4:30pm EST

Wednesday the showroom is open late until 9:00pm

Saturday 8:00am - 4:00pm

 

I won't make it there on Friday, as I get out at 3:30 and it takes me 40 minutes to get there. Don't wait up for me.

 

I would, however, take a ride tomorrow night if anyone is interested.

Can't make it tomorrow.

 

Will probably check out this Sarco place on Friday around 12:30 then.

 

hope I can find something old that I can shoot

Let us know how you do!

did you buy anything today rich?

I didn't go!

Just came back from Sarco and meeting usnmars and was very eventful. Wanted to thanks usnmars on his great expertise in selecting a couple of great treasures. What a wealth of information that I learned !

 

I picked up a Yugo Mauser 98 and a Mosin Nagent 91/30. I am really looking forward to cleaning it up and getting it ready to shoot in the very near future. Hoping my shoulder can take the abuse.

 

I can see how this passion can be addictive. Eventhough pistols are fun, these rifles are going to be a blast !

 

Thanks again, usnmars !

I've been thinking of getting a Mauser. Do you mind posting the price you paid?

The Mauser that I got was $200 and according to usnmars was in great condition. Good crown, great head space, great rifling.

Now to learn the true joys of cosmo. I think once they are cleaned up you are going to be one happy guy. You honestly cant get more of a bang for the buck when it comes to the old milsurps. Heck I have one hell of a collection, and i still bought a m44 and a mauser today. These things are too addicting.
