I can see by the amount of posts in this section, that there is not many who shoot surplus rifles. Ah...gone are the days of wood and steel.....replaced by shiney black plastic...

Doc,

 

Just hang out a little while. There are quite a few hardcore milsurp guys here. The threads tend to get a bit spread out, but there's plenty of knowledge and passion for "wood and steel". Don't worry, you'll find enough company here to share with.

USNMars is our c&r specialist

 

Richiedubs is the fondler, he touches every single one he can get his hands on

 

Then you have guys like me, Malsua and a couple others who are trying to find their first milsurp.

 

I also believe Dan (djg....) has atleast one milsurp if not two.

 

Oh also Mauser98 I believe is his name has a lot of information on milsurps along with rscalzo or something like that im terrible with SN's

For all you guys looking into getting their first mil-surp...Don't hesitate to post...I'm sure you'll get lots of helpful info.

Someday when I have more room for storage. Until then I promise to be interested as a third party and drool a lot when good pics are posted!

I like mil-surps too!

Hey NJ609.....I don't know if you got my PM....But I asked if you got your bike yet?

I like mil-surps too!

mosins and a styer m95

I have one, a M/N M44 - it's like a bad love affair. I fondle her and she still kicks me in the shoulder every chance she gets.

 

I like the old wood and steel. I'm working on saving the $$ for an SKS, and then I may go for a Garand.

 

I haven't found the love yet of the 'black rifles', but time will tell.

Truer words have never been spoken.

ROFLMAO! Hey Richie, I am offshore right now but when I get home in a week and a half we gotta meet up again. I am currently pursuing an original 1903A4 sniper that will need to be re-broken in.

Most of my rifles are C&R come to think of it Garands, a few Mausers, an Enfield or two, and some others.

I had a large C&R collection at one point, nothing like imagining where that rifle has been. Im starting to get rid of them slowly now though, takes up lots of room I really dont have

Ok, will have to break out the camera.

They have always been my favorite. They were all pretty cheap too before the movie Saving Private Ryan.

 

After the movie premiered lots more people got interested in them and the prices started to raise greatly. Gone are the days of the $350.00 1903A3's and $300.00 K98's. Sigh.

I do commie surplus. :flags-ukraine:

 

Have a few Mosins, and waiting for a few more.

That aint the only thing that movie made sky rocket.I think Band of Brothers help contribute to the collecting problem. They both caused the price of everything WW2 to go up. It made the vehicle prices sky rocket. I passed on a nice restored Kettenkrad for $30k back around 2000. Now they are around $120k. Bot I wish I would have brought it now. So now I got 3 Wartime BMW sidecar rigs instead.
