    A Small Italian Mystery

    Dating will be the roman numbers below the slide on the right side of the gun. I can't make it out from your picture but it's pre-1968 as that was the GCA import ban cutoff. I'm thinking that 1-9-59 on the slip is the manufacturing date, should be confirmed by a XV stamped on the gun in the...

  2. Look what this guy found at a Yard Sale!

    Yea but it's purdy now.

  3. How is the milsurp market these days?

    Appears so. http://ww2data.blogspot.com/2015/06/soviet-explosive-ordnance-762mm.html

    Frommer Stop with Austrian HV 36 Acceptance Mark

    Hammer hit for $266 plus the $30 shipping I always put on auctions since you never know if someone from the West Coast might buy it. Thought it had a chance to hit $300 before shipping but that's how the cookie crumbles. After paying the FFL to ship it and GB fees, I'll probably lose like $10-20...

    Frommer Stop with Austrian HV 36 Acceptance Mark

    Everything I've read suggests that the extractors are flimsy and breaking is common. Read on a forum where a guy was going to make some once upon a time but never did. When one is available, it's like $60-75 and for me, I really don't want to have $350-400 in this thing. A picture someone took...

    Frommer Stop with Austrian HV 36 Acceptance Mark

    I threw it on GB earlier today. Starting bid of $220, which is less than I what I paid for it ($275). Have no idea what it's worth; these have went from $200-$1000 in recent auctions. Whatever it goes for I'll be fine with it. Kinda comparable: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/632918899 If anyone...

    Frommer Stop with Austrian HV 36 Acceptance Mark

    I picked up this Frommer Stop a several weeks ago. It was a consignment at a LGS. Unfortunately the extractor is broke (though it's still in the gun and will extract by manually racking the slide after each shot), so I'm thinking about putting this on Gunbroker because extractors aren't usually...

  9. How is the milsurp market these days?

    Pawn Express in LaGrange has a Spanish Ruby for 189. Looks like an old refinish but if you're wanting one of those in "shooting" condition, it's pretty nice for what it is and at current Ruby prices on Gunbroker. Marked 1914 "Military", it's a post-war model with no French military markings, so...

  10. How is the milsurp market these days?

    I did scoop up a Carcano M91 the other day for $175. Guy had brought it into one of the local stores for consignment and that was my offer on it. 1918 Terni, original stock but has one of those uncommon slotted handguards. Was still covered in cosmoline/grease in certain areas; gun wouldn't...

  11. USPS strikes again

    Yea, that happens too. I've seen some interesting ones over the year. Sometimes it's a sorting issue and other times they have transport going to location A quicker than location B, or they may not go to location B at all from their current hub. Widely inefficient like everything else done by...

  12. USPS strikes again

    Fragile can also suggest "valuable" so I never use it. Only labels that go on any of my packages are the postage and if an additional one is needed to comply with the various Federal/Courier guidelines (ie: Lithium Batteries, Ammunition ORD-M, etc). And I never inform of contents unless it's...

  13. USPS strikes again

    I've sold and shipped through eBay for years. In my personal experience: USPS usually goes a good job, but if they break something, it's easy getting an insurance payment if you had insurance (and all Priority is now $50 insurance automatically, but used to be $100). They will lose a small...

    russian m91

    I'm thinking that the gun was converted to 8x50 and then was refurbished back to the original caliber in an armory. Finnish armorer would have had piles of spare Russian barrels.

    CMP reportedly to receive 86,000 M1 Garands from Philipines

    Korean weapons are also said to be in really poor condition and they want a fortune for them.

    MAS 49/56 in 308

    One of my FFL's had (might still have) a 49/56 in 7.5. Wanted $518 last time I looked. Had 40 rounds of ammo but no magazine. I've thought about buying it a few times but it wouldn't really fit into my collection. I think there are some high cap magazine conversions you can do on these similar...

    Mag deal for Argentine Navy FN49

    Centerfire usually does good. I bought one of their set of six G3 mags recently ($12.99 IIRC). All came in pretty good condition, some surface rust on a few but cleaned right up. Nice range of dates and manufacturers too.

  18. Anyone have a Carcano long rifle for sale?

    Haven't seen one in quite a while. There's a dealer in LaGrange that has a Cavalry Carbine for $219 but that's the only Carcano variant I've seen for sale outside of the internet in the past 4-5 months. Underrated rifles though.

  19. How is the milsurp market these days?

    And to think a few years ago I could have bought one at a flea market for $150 with a couple boxes of ammo ... and passed on it because I was too cheap to pay $1.50 ATM fee to get some money out. You live and you learn.

  20. Inauguration : M1 Garands Front and Center! Eyes Forward!

    I'm surprised Obama didn't have them melted before leaving office.
