How is the milsurp market these days?

the market is WAY DOWN . Not a bad looking G43.

What the heck was so wrong with this G43 that I'm not seeing? Mismatched bolt and aftermarket scope I understand, but dang! Not even one bid at under $2K ? Have things gone that far South since Hillary's loss?

No idea, just looks like everyone missed a good deal

I think it has a little to do with ammo availability/price. Milsurp was so much more fun when you could buy the cheap ammo to match it. Still love my garand but about a dollar a trigger pull makes me a hoarder.

I thought that was just the AR market? Seems like milsurps have only gotten more expensive, especially WWI arms with the centennial of WWI

Agree that was a good deal for a rare MILSURP. Anything under 2k for a shooter is a deal.

Let me re-phrase....Still selling but at slower pace...

Maybe the seller did an "off gunbroker" deal. I wish I wish I'd seen that but I'd just bought a New Model of 1864 carbine. I'm not even going to email the seller because I'm afraid he'd still have it and I just bought an 1861 Springfield rifled musket in near museum condition. I'm tapped out.

You know you can't just say that and not post pictures.

I said I bought it. I haven't picked it up yet, LOL.
