Didn't see one so starteded one. What have you bought recently? Anything for Black Friday, or just in general? Getting anyone a gun for Christmas?
I bought a Japanese Arisaka type 99 today with a cut down stock. I like it a lot but not too sure about the purchase yet, what do you think? I paid $130 for it.

Is the mum still there or nah?
This is my most recent acquisition. It US Model of 1917, made by Remington in July of 1918. Still has the original bluing. Snagged it for $325 out the door.
Forgot pic
Nope was grinded out, anti-air sights are there though and all parts intact
>how can we make this more complicated so people think it must be better in some way
>let's make the spring out of a spring
jelly
A miniscule price to pay to get rid of SPRONGGGG
Bought a Steiner SBAL-PL
Ground off mum has its own historic value in my opinion.
If the bore looks good, and all the parts are intact, you'd have a proper Arisaka with just a replacement stock.
A replacement stock can be had from Liberty Tree, and with that you should be all set.
Post a pic like this and I'll tell you the series and manufacturer who made it.
It's definitly been re-finished. And badly at that. Tha'ts not blued, it's matte black. I wouldn't have spent more than 80 bucks for it.
Can you narrow it down to a year? I got a series 30 with a serial number below 2k
The only reason i did get it was because the bore was excellent.
That would place it in 1941.
Every Type 99 has an excellent bore. It's not like they were used a lot.
I might get myself something for Christmas.
I'm between an FAL, PTR 91, MP5, 1892 in .357, and a 1911.
That or save up and hop on the first decent SPAS 12 I can find on jewbroker.
52393
Where?
Yeah i definetly could tell it was refinished but really no more than $80? Oh well even if it really is a bust $130 isnt much to lose out on.
What a steal.
Here's mine, a surprisingly nice M95, still full of cosmoline.
DSG Arms, $299.
That sounds quite nice.
I'll assume you're rolling your own cartridges?
>still full of cosmoline
Have fun removing that.
It's a 23rd series made by Kokura Arsenal.
Not yet but ill have to look to it. My friend reloads though and he said he would hook me up.
Should've said it was still full of cosmoline. Spent a couple hours getting it off after I brought it home. The rear sight was the most caked.
Thanks! Good to know. I'll have to try and find an authetic stock
I found a Type 99 Arisaka stock online for $60 with $22 shipping. Which is way cheaper than any others i have seen. Should i get it or does the low price tag make it sketchy. Seems fine in the pictures.
picked up 25 aluminum g3 mags and 15 steel all surplus
g3 surplus leather sling
some chicom pouches
surplus p64 holster
a few korean 75 rd ak drum 50 bucks shipped
Even if it's beat up, it'll be better than the cut off stock you have.
Worst case you can strip the finish and redo it yourself.
So I picked up a CZ Scorpion E3 couple days ago and haven’t been able to go out with it due to work.
Picked these up yesterday. Ordered them a few months ago. Shot them today. I love the mk23. A lot easier to shoot than I thought, and I can even reach out to 100 yards, although it does take a while to get walked in. It's only like 10% bigger than my glock 40 and the grips aren't that big. Only thing I don't quite like is the decocker.
I'm still not sure about the USP 9 expert. I like the sights, but I'm not quite use to the trigger. It was bought to replace my glock 34 gen 5 since I don't like that one, but I'll be doing more side by side test to see which one I'll keep.
It doesnt have the handguard but the same seller is selling it separately for a similiar price. Should i buy the hand guard too? lol
The expert has a match trigger like the tactical, right? What is it about the trigger you don't like?
I'm between a 45 Tactical and a Mk23 myself some day.
Point blank ask the guy if there are any cracks, if not buy it then and there.
Honeslty I'm basing it on my recent type 99 purchase. A series 30 missing only the cleaning rod and dust cover. Only some minor surface. I spent 200, so that's my benchmark.
I also take a dim view of destroying historical items. But the actions strong so you do you bro. Get a nice stock and take it to the range and have fun.
It's not that I don't like the trigger, I'm just not use to it. I spent the day mostly shooting the mk23 since I had more ammo for that and other guns I brought out. I only had enough of 9 to shoot like 30 rounds out of the usp.
I bought a Walther G22 with rds for $300 on Gunbrokerand then picked it up on black Friday. Still have yet to shoot because of snow and work. Did I do good Jow Forums?
Got this 1949 Fazakerley for $435 of GB last week, arrived on Saturday.
Also got this yesterday.
Why? There are plenty of other non-fugly 22 semi autos made by non-airsoft companies. But if that's what activates your almonds, $300 is probably a decent deal.
Got pic related a couple weeks ago, still sitting in jail at my FFL so the best you're getting is a stock image.
Fuck the NFA, Fuck the ATF, Fuck all infringements on the 2nd Amendment.
Got this secondhand M500A the other day for $200. Already got two chukar with it. Since the stock is dinged and a bit scratched I'm looking at aftermarket stuff for funsies.
Because I love bullpups
Just got my first garand last week, so makes my my most recent purchase
January 45' manufacture so most likely missed the war
I have a Recce 7 sitting in jail too, hopefully I'll see it around april/may.
savage axis xp ii in 30-06, paid like $650CAD
FUCKING CHECKED WTF
BLESSED BATTLE RIFLE
You should be pretty happy with it, I love mine.
Picked this up for a song, should be here by the weekend. My first AK of any kind, it'll be interesting to shoot something that's not an AR shotgun or bolt gun for once.
Holy shit lol, just noticed that
Oh man sounds like you ran off with that gun. All the the other Arisaka's at the gun show were $300 minimum and one of them was a straight up wall hanger, unable to fire
Nice pinger.
Make sure to either only shoot low-pressure ammo, or to get a gas-plug for shooting high-pressure ammo.
Your feet are horrendous
>those trips
>checked by the M1 Garand
Blessed Battle Rifle!
thanks, til I get an adjustable plug I stocked up on S&B 150gr garand ammo
WITNESSED!!!!!!!
First revolver is a surplus revolver in a antiquated cartridge. Am I a gun hipster?
I get to pick up my .22 pistol after a long wait, really excited to show it to you guys
got a WASR 10/63 for $650 last sunday at a gun show. For an AK it has a great trigger.
in 9 hrs actually
dont want anyone here hitting smashing f5
I fucking love the M1.
And the BM59, because it's still kind of an M1.
I really like this style of receiver and rotating bolt lockup overall, actually.
Yeah, I know I got a good deal on it. But let's face it, they're all wall hangers unless you want to spend mucho dinero and buy 7.7 jap
This. I have these in all my ARs except for my pistol because of how great they are.
Don't forget some ammo for it.
steinelammo.com
Roll your own 7.7mm, you can even use .30-06 casings as a base I think.
Fucking nice. What'd you pay for it?
and a new problem solver
I suppose thats fair but i'll probably put a couple rounds through it a month and at least i can larp in my bedroom like an autist knowing it could fire lol
I'm looking to sell a BM59 if you're interested.
You'll have a lot of fun. I put an old Lantac Dragon on mine that I bored out to 9mm (before they started making them in 9mm) and it shoots pretty flat.
I use my Scorpion for USPSA Pistol Caliber Carbine matches before I can get enough money to build a QC10.
Whatever you're asking, I cannot afford.
Still, I appreciate the offer.
How's it like to shoot, and how many magazines do you have?
This is the only joy I get.
Fucking I-1639 fuck you in the ass
Very nice my man. Gonna have to get into reloading for that rifle. Fuck its a beautiful rifle though.
It is a tack driver, but is picky about food. It shoots Winchester white box well though. It has almost no recoil and is a blast when mag dumping. I have five magazines because they were on sale at Sarco.
I don't have reloading equipment nor am I going to invest in it.
I made a thread about possibly buying my first gun, a Marlin Model 60 the other day. I just picked it up and I love it!
Nothing wrong with a good .22 plinker, I have a few but started with a Marlin 795. Great little gun. You'll love that Marlin, But my 1951 Winchester model 61 pump .22 is my favorite.
I suppose this counts, just finished my Black Friday P80 build. Came in at just under $400 not counting the APLc and mags.
1942 Savage built Enfield
Neat gun, can't wait to take it to the range
Just saved an Armi Jager AP74 from a gun buyback. Hopefully it works, although I'm going to assume it needs at very least a good cleaning.
Bought it purely for the Hollywood prop gun memes.
I'm taking your boipucci in the calimeet
Holy image resolution, Batman!
Closeup of this weird sticker. I'd rather not have it but I suspect it's factory so I sure as fuck am not going to be scraping it off.
Over my overcooked/once-dropped tendies! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Also someone cut an M16 magazine and welded it to the bottom of the AP74 mag to make it look like a 30-rounder when inserted. I don't think it's a factory thing because I can't find any other AP74 mag set up like this.
Might have been done by a prop armorer.
Or Bubba. Who the fuck knows.
Possibly. I have a No.2 MkI* made by Albion and a Webley, post war police pistol. I "beagled" a Lee 35 Remington mold to drop .361 200 grain bullets. They love them. In a pinch, 158gr .358 SWC bullets will work too. Reload for the little shits, they are fun guns.
What the fuck why. Just drive a state over and buy it.
I just bought an 1886 Portuguese Kropatschek.
I don't really understand what you mean by that. It's just the one goofy magazine that came with the rifle. I intend to order a triple K one in order to have a spare.
They are chrome lined idiot!
How much do you want for it, user?
You willing to ship it to my cuck state or disassemble the mags so local cops don't ree at me?
