Imma let you finish but I just want to say that the Vz 33 has the best Czech crest of all times
Joshua Watson
I want to get a clamp-on scope mount for my K31. I originally found one for a good $60-70 but found swissproductsusa selling them for $50. How is swissproducts? Is there a better place for buying the scope mounts?
Levi Brooks
Very true, but I'm pretty sure this is a Brazilian contract gun since it's in 7mm.
Austin Morgan
This is my moses nugget, I recently added a lee einfield to the collection.
Jace Perez

No wonder the staff God gave him was so powerful
Carson Howard
ITT: Same guns posted in every thread, same replies and posts, same tripfaggot posting his guns.
Jonathan Gonzalez
Took this picture on Friday faggot, where's your surp?
Andrew Roberts
God I love that sort of marbled/striped wood. Only way it could be any better is if it had a slight red tint to it.
If I were to get a nugget stock what should I look for to have that look?
Hunter Turner
Picked up an 80$ K98k labaled as a “piece of shit Mauser” stamped up and dated 1939. No jew markings or capture. Something is wrong with the safety and doesn’t allow the bolt to close with out digging into the stock, the barrel is sewer pipe status. It’s also missing some things like the stock plate and hood for the sight. Probably no chance in this gun ever working again but I still like it
Gavin Sanders
wall hangers/dewats are always cool af in my opinion. nice find user
Christopher Flores
You can always part it out. Very easy to make back the money you spent.
John Carter
How much should I be paying for a Russian capture K98?
>numbers all "match" but are 100% electro stencil
>still has the waffenamt marks and code marks, but has an "X" stamped onto the receiver above the serial number
>stock is coated in some dark red shellac, all parts have a thick gooey Mosin styled finish to them (including the buttplate)
>receiver is a Code 42 1939
>gun is functionally fine (clean bore, etc)
Gavin Adams
I bought a nugget maybe 5 years ago for $120. Good condition too. I havne't been into shooting much over the past few years though and I'm only just getting back into it. Are they still found that cheap or have prices risen? I remember when Jow Forums used to post pics of crates of nuggets.
Jackson Brooks
$650 max. I'd go $700 if it has all the pre-war features (no cupped butt plate, milled floor plate, etc.) but that's mostly my autism.
Joshua Brooks
>Mosin prices
Jackson Myers
i know its a finnish one but holy fuck
Owen Price
>magic meme mosins
>being sold by the infamous gray blanket man of much shill bidding
You stop that right now. Next you're gonna post that early mosin that has the prototype bayonet lug and early sights.
Asher Garcia
Haven’t bought much from gun shows because I can never find good deals. But I got this for $270 3 years ago. The guy actually met me outside the gun show. He said that the bore wasn’t great because somebody shot corrosive and didn’t clean it. But I cleaned it up at home and it looks fine so idk what he was talking about.
Jeremiah Young
A lot of fudds don't realize this cool thing called a brass brush exists. I once had someone sell me an early Type 99 who claimed the bore was "dark and had pitting". I immediately knew this was bullshit since early 99s have chrome bores. Lo and behold, it was perfectly shiny and fine underneath, but it required a ton of cleaning to get there.
Michael Brooks
You're right I will.
But yeah prices have gone up. $300ish is the new norm for a standard 91/30. Ironically you can get a Finn m91 for around the same price, which is a more interesting, if slightly worse performing, rifle to me.
Lincoln Carter
At this point you're better off finding a nice M91 for around $375 to $400. For whatever reason people don't seem to like them much. The same goes for things like the M27, M28, and M28/30 too. All the obsession seems to focus around the M39 and M91/30.
Luis Evans
For the price I’m very happy, it was literally the only k98 besides a few 1898 models. I’m tempted to try using a brass brush which was mentioned in this thread to clean it up, right now it’s got a ton of loose junk in the bore. The safety is in a weird down position and corroded so it just plows into the stock. Would swapping the bolt for a functioning one make it live again?
I’m taking it to a local gunsmith next week before i attempt anything, I also have no problem having a wall hanger until a functioning k98 comes my way.
Andrew Hernandez
Only 'surp I've ever bought at a gun show. Cost me a Remington 710 and $50.
>t allow the bolt to close with out digging into the stock
The bolt is uncocked. Google "re-cocking Mauser 98 bolt" and watch a couple videos; it's a simple problem to fix.
Matthew Davis
Where have you gotten the rest of yours? pawn shops/gun stores or online?
pic related my first gun show buy.
Julian Nelson
>pawn shops/gun stores or online?
Mostly auctions or private sales. My little Argie 1891 carbine came from a pawn shop. RIP Pioneer Pawn of Tomah, WI.
James Jenkins
I've mostly gotten mine from pawn shops or gun stores. I've snagged some pretty sweet deals.
Xavier King
Also, how much did your 1891 long rifle cost?
David Sanders
$250. No crest, but matching down to the cleaning rod. Not a great shooter unfortunately, even with surplus 7.65. The carbine does OK.
Luis Scott
It has been one hour since user has purchased a milsurp firearm.
Lucas Bell
That's a nice price. Got mine for $275, all matching. It's very accurate, very good bore on it. No crest sadly.
Caleb Collins
Do you feel more complete? Also this is now a C R E S T thread
Cameron Garcia
I do. I realized the last three guns I bought were 91/30s, so I figured I'd better get something more respectable. Ended up paying $400.00. Guy had it listed on the wrong state's Armslist. Pics are the sellers; I'll take better ones in a few weeks.
Jack Wilson
Congratulations.
Jacob Barnes
Saw a mauser 95 for 270 at a gunshow. Didnt grab it but was really thinking about it, was it a good deal?
Nathaniel Wilson
Yes, you missed out.
Jose Bell
Dont do this to me user, was my first gunshow and didnt really know wtf I was doing.
Leo Clark
>was it a good deal?
Great price if matching (Chilean M95?) Decent price even if mis-matched.
Isaiah Murphy
The longer you collect the more deals you miss. I've passed on a $300 49/56, $600 Vz52/57, a $500 Type 44.... it happens man.
Asher Robinson
That an interesting czech, very jealous m8. Looks like a Brazilian
Lincoln Nelson
>Also this is now a C R E S T thread
My favorite so far
Parker Rivera
Dude, I had a $550.00 MAS 44 get taken from under my fingertips last weekend at a show. It happens. Read up and keep a good eye, and it won't happen to you next time.
Isaiah Williams
It is. All matching and in 7mm. Got it for $440.
Chileans are very nice guns.
Levi Ross
NATO Chilean short boi
Ryder Davis
Mine.
Jason Ortiz

Cameron Mitchell
Jow Forumsapt, you live in MI, right?
Christian Hughes
My only real stand out gun show find. $300 bucks. Hopefully going to one next weekend, usually it's pretty good.
Caleb Campbell
>Implying the rest of Jow Forums even owns gats
Jaxon Baker

Lincoln Morgan
Ouch. At least mine is properly scrubbed.
Angel Brooks
Aye, why?
Nathan Myers
This little guy though...
Blake Cooper
>Tfw I haven't bought one in months
Hunter Walker
I got one of those.
Easton Cook
Alexander Ross
Is haggling acceptable at gunshows? I'm not talking lowballing, but offering like 360 for a 400 dollar gun.
Ryan Russell
But is it WHIIITE! ?
Ryan Parker
I haven't bought anything since last September.
>Is haggling acceptable at gunshows?
Sure.
Wyatt Smith
Absolutely, and expected. The only time I don't haggle is when the gun is underpriced anyways and I don't want someone to offer asking price in the same breath I offer $50 under. I think I got some $40 off pic related just because I asked.
Ethan Hughes
Try it, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
>TFW you accidentally talk the seller out of haggling by whipping cash out like you're trying to impress him
Oh well, it was still only $300.
Kevin Sullivan
>tfw I haggled a $20 item down to $10 and only had a $20 dollar bill
I just paid full price and walked off, spaghetti spilling everywhere.
Jayden Cruz
Ive got the 1889 infantry rifle in the mail and a k11 on order so excite.
Only a not beat to shit 96/11 amd 1911 infantry rifle to go, and maybe a veterli or cavalry manlicher.
Asher Miller
at least you didn't ask for 10 dollars in change like a dickhead.
Cameron Nguyen
Try ammo with a heavier round nose flat based bullet. Mine didn’t shoot with a shit with spitzer bullets either.
Evan Lopez
Absolutely 100% acceptable to haggle on used items. If it's used it doesn't matter if it's a gunshow or shop.
Jaxon Gray
Every single gun I've got in person except for one I've haggled down from the marked price
Aiden Long
You got ammo for that thing?
Parker Gray
I think about 300 rounds of Austrian surplus now. It's in a closet back home with the rifle.
Luke Barnes
>tfw no ammo for mine
Andrew Myers
Isn't yours 8x50?
Charles Ortiz

By the power of moses
Kevin Sanchez
Nope, 8x56r.
Daniel Bell
>The stock wiped down with tongue oil.
Looks like they just plated right over the pitting, too. Wonder why it's got no bids.
Anthony Thompson
shitty crest on shitty rifle
but still
Kayden Anderson
>not pre 1900
You're not even trying anymore.
Luis Hughes
Gee Pekka, how come your mom lets you have three swivels?
>notices Bulgaria
I think my M95 eventually wound up in Bulgaria. From what I understand they were the only ones to serialize bolts to the rifles.
Jeremiah Carter
>Moses
>Imagine delivering the Hebrews from Egypt with 54r
Joshua Hill
I think mine was captured, because the crest has been scrubbed, which I've never seen before.
Juan Wilson
>what should I look for to have that look?
Don't get a laminated stock for one, mine is Arctic Birch. I also don't know how some turn out like that, it's pretty rare. Another user here has one like mine, but it's really just luck of the draw, unless you refinish the wood. Mine came like that, my dad got really lucky when he got it, it was plastic wrapped and in cosmoline and he didn't even know what it looked like when he bought it for me.
Leo Richardson
I've only seen that in ones that were obviously heavily-buffed before re-bluing during refurbishment, and all the markings are usually equally diminished. That certainly looks deliberate, seeing how they left the model designation alone.
Jack Cruz
Yeah but mine wasn't re-blued. Kinda weird. But it is all matching though and accurate.
Oliver Bell
Is there any company that makes Lee Enfield repros?
David Torres
extra gbp=extra swivel
Carson Sanders
Alright /MSG/ I've got a pretty big project coming up. Not anytime soon, but I may get a jump on it. My stepfather wants me to have his father's G 33/40. I don't know when and I doubt it'll be soon, but I'm not going to push it. Im in no rush to make him give up his father's last gun. It's a DOT 1942, and as the picture shows its in meh condition. Bore is nice, but the rifle is mismatched as all fuck. Problem is it's in a sporter stock. It'll be pricey to bring back, and I've done it with a No.4 and M1917 so I know I can, but for the life of me I cannot find any of those buttplates/ sheet metal side plates. Are they one piece or two pieces? Also, did these have special barrel bands or just regular K98 ones?
James Brown
You probably just need to re-cock the striker to get the bolt functioning again.
Anthony Thompson
>Are they one piece or two pieces?
Two pieces.
>Also, did these have special barrel bands or just regular K98 ones?
Their own, and not even the same as Vz.33 bands.
Gavin Clark
This European company makes brand new repro stocks. They're aren't cheap and they're made to order. fox-military.com
Jordan Walker
They're my go to if I can't find an original. I've seen a few originals on gun broker sitting at the $300 mark, minus all the metal bits naturally. Occasionally sanded and refinished, but with this already piecemeal rifle I won't mind
God fucking damnit. That'll be a long hunt, would regular K98 bands fit, just so I have a placeholder and can shoot it?
Angel Kelly
>would regular K98 bands fit, just so I have a placeholder and can shoot it?
A Vz.24 front band would sort-of fit for the front, but you'll have to drill a new hole on the left side for the band spring detent. As for the lower band you could maybe use a Kar.98k one but since it's wider than the original you might have to either remove some material from the spring or cut a notch in the band for the spring to fit into it.
Jonathan Reyes
Damn. I may just be patient and pay the premium for a complete stock set. It'll probably be cheaper and better in the long run.
Nicholas Adams
here's my surp, r8 it
Nathan Ortiz
>No lion crest
I would love a Vz. 33, but my 24 has the same crest.
Anthony Young
>m57 arrives
>no fucking crest on top
Jonathan Kelly
Did someone say crests?
Isaiah Barnes
I'm sure I heard someone say crests.
