Yesterday morning after I sold my WASR to another member i thought to take a ride to the local gun shops. The shop owner knows me that i like surplus rifles and he told me that he just took as a trade in couple of them. I ask him what he had and pulls up a Persian Mauser and a Yugo M48(milled) to almost perfect condition both of them. I was happy cause it was the first time i came across a Persian Mauser. As I m feeling lucky about my new findings i decide to hit some other shop to see if they have any deals.

My next stop was in one of the shop that the owner runs it as a part time job out of his house. I called to see if his available and he said that he will be at the shop for couple hours. As i walk in to the shop, i see couple Mauser's but most of the inventory is hunting shotguns.

The first Mauser was a Yugo K98 for $180 and Argentinian Mauser for $450(in perfect condition!!!. I ask if he has any other Surplus rifles and he said he had few of them in the back ( no room in the rack and as he explain to me most of his customers are hunters). He explain to me that he bought quite few rifles recently from an estate.

And here is the list of the surplus rifles he had

Finn M39 (B Barrel)-$180

Remington 1903A3-$375

Turkish Mauser-$75

French Mas MOD45(22 trainer, with 4 mags)-$300- NIB

Swedish Mauser 1900-$200

CZ-52 with 750 yugo ammo-$175

East German Makarov (marked as Bulgarian)-$150

2 sportirzed Arisaka's-$65 each (with perfect mums- intact).

He also had some ammo that he got from the estate:

60 rnds of 30-06 in zip lock bag-$20 (had 5 bags)

.308 Box of Norinco -$5

50 rnds of Argentinian Mauser 7.65 ammo-$13.95

I was very happy to see all this but short on cash!!!

I called my buddy to come over and bring some cash and we end up between the 2 of us getting all of them

so here is couple pics

wow. envious on some of those prices. nice job, great finds.

the owner was surprised that we had such an interested in the surplus rifles. He thought he will never sell them. I asked him next time he gets any estate or trade-ins. Some of the ammo was marked from the 90's. I couldn't believe a box of 20 rnds in .308 for $5, .303 UMC brass for $5.

I think i m done with the rifle purchases for awhile.

Nice Score! :clap:

I want the Swede.

Amazing score on the Finn they go for more then double that price.
