Headed out to SARCO for the first time. Bringing my dad. Loves old military stuff. Lets see what i come home with.

Well I was going to stop in this weekend after going to heritage but I doubt they will restock soon after a blf shopping spree

I've been there when they where in Stirling -- neat place to get lost for awhile -- bought a few things

 

If you drove around the back of their building in stirling they had a halftrack and laying on the ground next to it was a torpedo

Well it's been 2 hours and 56 minutes,,,,, So whad ya git???

Damn, now you made me regret not going yesterday myself. I ordered a receiver and decided to just ship it to my FFL because lack of free time

Bought a numbers matching m48 with a bent bolt. So much more I wanted but no handguns without shipping to nj ffl. Saw the stg-44 replica in 22. It looks real nice and the price wasn't bad. I think it was around 650. I wish I had the wealth of knowledge us mars does. Probably some great stuff that I had no idea about.

I love mausers but surplus 8mm is kinda hard to find, especially now. Def a hoot to shoot.

 

The sarco employees are always super stern, that's my only complaint. I did a transfer once and the guy warmed up to me like 5mins before the transaction was done. Maybe I'm just too nice lol.

They seemed cool from the get go with me. I was about to say they seemed like the most laid back group. Place wasn't super packed but busy. Looked around and couldn't leave empty handed. Of course my dad wanted me to buy him a 1300 Winchester lever action. Thankfully he has no fid so I told him he wasn't allowed to own it.

Can you post any pix from the M48? Curious in what shape they re in?

Cool. Now get the live ammo off your work bench.

Its not a true work bench if there isnt a ton of random live rounds all over it.

Or assorted partially completed projects

Lucky, when I was there last week the only carbines I could find were beat to hell Chinese ones. Wood was almost black and the stocks had major gouges in them... If there was a half decent one I would have bought it too.

That would be an M53 Mosin......... the Mausers are along the back wall, they've been there since they opened the PA store.

Woooohooo! BLF didn't come home with any handguns, that's a sign for me to put a down payment on one before he gets it. Please don't go back before Saturday.

 

They have anymore Garand guys garand left?

I was there in the summer and they had a lot of Yugo M24/47 and M48's. Is it still the same? There were 3 shopper's in the store.

 

The last time I picked up 8mm ammo, I got it here:

You need to call them for availability.

Yeah, some Yugo captured K98s mixed in as well, Swedish Mausers off to the left.

Long guns you walk out the door with, handguns would have to be shipped to an nj ffl.

Thank You for the info

They got tons of stuff there today, like nobody even bought anything from there store. But today the place was packed and they had a 3 hour wait just for NICS check and paperwork.

 

I guess BLF didn't buy everything at sarcos.
