What's in the mail edition. Type 38 will be here on Tuesday, comes with a repro sling and what I think is a repro dust cover, which unless it fits perfectly will be removed. LGS has a bayonet for $50 I'm going to pick up.
I'm happy to be getting a matching pre war example that probably saw some shit. What's coming in for you guys soon?

I'll send you mail fren

How'd I do lads? I'm scared because no one bid that I missed something.
Jason Young
What's the price for a decent condition Norinco SKS these days?
Robert Gutierrez
>What's coming in for you guys soon?
I just arrived back in the States and I'm forcing myself to not buy any guns until I get a job. I;m torn between a K31 and CMP Garand for my employment present.
Caleb Gutierrez
$400-500
Noah Brown
Thanks m8, I'm never sure if what I'm looking at on Gunbroker is inflated or not.
Lincoln Sullivan
I think it looks good, but I can't tell if the bolt is matching or not. I've noticed that people tend to bid a whole lot less if it's not a penny auction, it's a good way to snag a deal.
Michael Ramirez
If I'm lucky, I'll win this 1896 dated Rolling Block I'm bidding on. I also shot my Persian for the first time today. It's like perfectly zeroed.
Cameron Butler
I got my Typo 30 bayonet on its way. Soon my arisaka will be complete, plus i will officially have a stabby boi for everyone rifle i own. Need to get some 7.7 jap for my rifu, im interested to see how it fires when using the monopod.
Jonathan Long
J&G has 8mm mauser for sale on stripper clips. If you need stripper clips for your mauser , I would recommend looking there, leave some for me though. Planning on ordering a m48 and a bit of ammo
Joshua Parker
A short M95 Budapest is in the mail.
A long M95 Bulgaria or Greece would be great to find, but seems to be unobtanium.
Dominic Brown
A bunch of reloading shit for my 6.5 Dutch boys. Should have showed up yesterday but what can i expect from the USPS?
Connor Diaz
Would I be a bubba if I painted my brown FR-8 with appliance epoxy and removed the bluing on the bolt?
Eli Torres
>what’s in the mail?
No surp, just a lower parts kit from PSA and some Wolf 9mm. I need to resupply, so in the next month I’m getting some 9mm Mak, .308, and 7.62x39 ammo.
Easton Williams
Shit I forgot to reply to the probably b8, yes it would be bubba.
Brayden Carter
Where the fuck can I find a forestock for this, and what should I expect to pay?
Jace Johnson
Fucking oof. Ebay is just about your only bet for non-poo No.1 forestocks. Expect to pay at least $200, if it's got the handguards too
Angel Watson
I'd take one with the Ishapore bolt, frankly. I watched one of those go for $207 without the forward handguard
Julian Price
Well I'm about to get this in the mail since I won it like 20 minutes ago.
Julian Watson
>probably b8, yes it would be bubba.
Not trying to b8. I got an FR-8 a year ago for $400. It was already a little bit bubba'd. It had its bolt turned down and scalloped, and some ugly shit brown stain and poly applied to the stock. The bore is perfect, but the outside of the rifle has a brown patina. The bolt also looks like it was cold-blued and is pretty ugly.
I know in this pic the finish looks fine but in the right light the rifle turns brown - its parkerized which holds paint really well so that's why I figured if I got a dark gray paint it would look nice and hold up better over time.
Xavier Stewart
Gotcha. I retract what I said, do what you will. No harm.
This was bubba’d, too. So I got a drill purpose stock set and bleached it. Turned out kinda shitty but whatever. I had the same thought as you. It was already modified so I may as well do what I please.
Hunter Watson
Waiting on a K31 bayonet. Didn't want to pay an extra 300 for a sawback one.
Almost grabbed a diopter sight but fuck, 350 bucks.
Owen Smith
I have this Remington model 81 from May of 1941, does this count?
Thomas Moore
Still stocked about my recent acquisition.
I just can't get over it yet. It's so fucking smooth, holy shit.
You mirin'?
Brayden Gray
That is a lovely long rifle. Been thinking about picking one up myself.
Juan Carter
>You mirin'?
I'm 'mirin. I wish I had bought a G11 when Simpson had them for cheaper last year.
Thomas Cooper
>long
Was kind of surprise how loooong it actually was. I was thinking forty-five to forty-eight inches or so when I bought it. Not over fifty one goddamn inch. It fits in my safe with less than a quarter of an inch to spare.
I'll remember to check that before I start buying more surp.
Hunter Mitchell
Nothing ATM, it's getting really hard to find things I need.
William Rodriguez
>need
user, I...
Jaxson Walker
I need a Bulgarian that isn't Slavshitted personally. But they're rare.
Easton Jones
G11?
Yes. Need.
Christopher Walker

Logan Ortiz
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!
Parker Martin
New acquisition. 1905 Carl Gustaf. Paid $400.00. All-matching, save for the cleaning rod. My first real Mauser.
Lincoln Perry
Nice.
Luke Foster
That's a damn good deal for an all matching Swede.
Lucas Harris
Beautiful for that price
Elijah Nguyen
Swedeposting.
Tyler Lewis
I'm fairly certain the guy I got it from got it from the importer - there's still some cosmoline in places. Condition 2 bore, and some slight dents in the handguard, and a tiny bit of rust of the triggerguard - other than that, it's perfect.
Family friend has a case of the practice ammo - we're going to go out and have a range day here when it's nice.
Jace Myers
Swedeposting.
David Stewart
Nothing at all. I went to my LGS to buy a nice Winchester P14 that I had seen last Saturday. Couldn't find out on the rack but I saw it behind the counter and asked an employee and it had apparently been sold on Sunday. There's an auction up by my college that I hope I can get something good in two weeks.
Jaxson Sanders
Bought a russian sks for 460 yesterday. Its got a chinese sling on it that id like replaced but it works for now.
Its very svelte compared to what i was imagining. Makes me sad traditional rifles are all but dead for military roles.
Gabriel Turner
Noah Fisher
YES!
Parker Harris
Holy shit, this gun is fun. Just popped off three rounds of that Swedish military gallery ammo with cup projectiles (not the wooden-tipped blanks). Next to no recoil, smooth action, well balanced - I absolutely love this rifle.
>mfw Swedish Mauser
Jayden Wood
That's a great price for a Russian SKS.
SWEDEN YES!
Cameron Watson
6.5 Swede is probably the optimum caliber from that time period. It's modern equivalent, 6.5 Creed, is probably the optimum for today.
Ryder Long
Il grab a pic later but im very happy with it. My buddy and I were window shopping and he found a yugo for 460, next store i found this guy. I figured it was a sign that we should get them.
Mine has some of the prettiest grain ive seen on an sks
Nathan Flores
460 is a touch high for a Yugo unless it's really nice or pic related. But not out of the realm of acceptability.
Dominic Sanchez
It was more or less pristine. Il see if i can get some pics of it also. Grenade launcher and muzzle device were neat but not really my thing.
Mightve been a bit high but i dont think he did bad, especially since i kind of talked him into it.
Hunter Robinson
OH! A Yugo SKS. My mind defaulted to pic related. 460 is fine for an SKS.
Jordan Hill
Boxes of glorious 9x18 ammo
Jonathan Lopez
Thats what i was thinking. They sure arent as cheap as they used to be but its still a solid semi auto rifle.
Best part is its another one off the list. Not sure its the best way to go about getting the easy stuff first but i figure i should get an sks now before they become the same price as an svt
William Cruz
I doubt they'll get that high, but it's still smart.
Xavier Baker
Im trying to buy a moose rifle. Should I get a sporterised M98 Mauser (with some after-market stock) or a Zastava?
Both in the same calibre.
M98 is 200 cheaper, looks odd, has a lovely wing safety. While the Zastava seems all original. Both barrels are all "bight and shiny" according to listing but that is questionable.
Need your inputs, please.
Landon Campbell
Honestly you should get a modern hunting rifle, which will be more accurate, cheaper, and ready to accept a scope
Connor Williams
I dont think so either but i never thought mosins would get up to 300+ or nagant revolvers would be hard to find.
Jackson Peterson
Hey fellas, I just got back from the good ole gun show. Bought a rifle that was labeled as a Mauser 98, 7mm. Now doing some research, it seems most of these rifles are chambered for 8mm mauser rounds. Have I bought a knock-off chinese copy? Anyone knowledgeable on a mauser 98 chambered for 7mm? Why might my rifle be chambered for 7mm, when the majority were made for 8mm?
Luis Morris
you probably bought a Spanish one, or any number of countries that had those rifles in both of those types.
Dont take my word for it though.
Brandon Thomas
The amount of money that would take to restore that gun will cost more than it's worth. Good stock sets are worth just as much as the guns themselves sometimes.
This is why people do this shit: gunbroker.com
You aren't saving one gun, you're just destroying another.
David Jenkins
>What's in the mail edition.
Nothing except police surplus Manurhin MR88/F1 grips.
Sebastian Adams
There's literally dozens of models of "Mauser" even if you're just talking about the 98 system. Post some markings and we'll tell you what it is.
Nolan Scott
I've got the 450 page Mauser book by Ball and after a cursory look it looks like more models were 7mm than 8mm.
Eli Richardson
more pics incoming
Caleb Lewis
Leo Rogers
bottom of gun, near trigger
Jeremiah Garcia
rear sight
Caleb Ramirez
bolt from above. markings were apparently rubbed or grinded off when this was refinished
James Thomas
Blake Smith
Might have to take the wood off to look for unmolested marks. Maybe a South American Mauser? they are common and many are 7mm.
Jeremiah Perez
mind my fucking legs, sorry
Jason Perry
The guy who sold me this had other mausers labeled as 'spanish made', but the one he sold me was labeled as german made and he was pretty adamant it was german. He could be wrong, or lying.
Ethan Allen
I definitely need to take it apart
Brandon Cooper
What Mauser is the closest to a K98 but is NOT a k98? I am trying to find a Bubba'd Mauser and build a k98 sniper clone.
Austin Watson
maybe a Czech but it will have a straight bolt handle and the longer handguard on top
Asher Cook
another marking on the bolt
Chase Long
its a little hard to see in the pic but it looks like the c with a circle around it. almost like a copyright logo
Jaxson Williams
just below the glare on the metal, and above the hole, there appears to be a small half star thing. almost a star of david but I highly doubt that is what im seeing
Mason Fisher
Welp. I was gonna bid on that but forgot about it. damn. Congrats!
Nicholas Peterson
After a quick look through the Mauser book it looks like it might be an 1895 model from some country.
Nathan Campbell
Looks a lot like an 1895 Chilean short rifle but that recoil lug is weird. The receiver is completely blank?
Jason Rodriguez
Got a vz 24 barrel and stock coming in the mail for my receiver that i've had for about a year or so now.
is it worth it to just reload for 8mm Mauser or buy off the shelves?
Gavin White
The waffle safety flag might be a clue but I don't know which models had it like that
Bentley Clark
all markings have been posted in pics above. The top part of the receiver is totally blank but I can vaguely make out '9935', a character that looks like an H or an E on its side, and something that looks like half of a jewish star. There is a clear 'L O' on the butt just behind the bolt
Angel Phillips
there is also '129' on the top, rearmost part of the butt. There is metal on the butt but it is completely blank
Robert Roberts
Sounds like you possibly have a lowe manufactured 1916 spanish mauser re arseonaled for use by the Spanish police.
Make sure it's 7mm and not 7.62x51. Also, if this is a spanish mauser. It is not a 98, it's a mauser 93 style. So it's small ring.
Charles Adams
Yeah it was definitely scrubbed when refinished. Ludwig Loewe used a star of david stamp so that might just be what it is.
Caleb Scott
Also, if it's a lowe. This is what the reciever what have originally looked like.
The lowe company is owned by Jews. But it seems to only be owned, so if you lean Jow Forums it's still German.
Isaac Rodriguez
from google, this looks like the closest match so far.
Henry Peterson
So, how's the bore? It looks mighty nice for a 1916. As most are trashed.
Brandon King
yeah its definitely 7mm. Already fired a few 7mm mauser rounds out of it. Works great
Kevin Hill
I cleaned it out as soon as I got it. Small amount of just dust. Looks ok as far as I can tell. I had roughly an 8inch spread at 50 yd with my first 5 rounds in it
Kayden Hughes
That's good to hear, the Nato one's are picky and need light ammo. So store bought isn't good. Also, do keep light loads. These spanish small rings can have bolt setback issues.
Brandon Cooper
>at gunshow
>see box of pouches
>digging for vz24 ammunition pouch
>ask how much he wants for one
>he ask me to hold the box up so he can see
>grab box
>instantly he says "oh you touched it, your problem now
so now what do i do with a bunch of free leather ammunition pouches?
Anthony Butler
It's a Spanish M1916 carbine that some idiot had heavily polished and reblued. I hope you didn't pay too much for it.
Nathaniel Evans
I'll keep that in mind, thanks
Juan Lewis
Same thing the last guy did
Jackson Cook
Stop spreading this bullshit. No Spanish Mauser was ever chambered for 7.62CETME. They were all chambered for 7.62NATO. 7.62CETME was only developed for the CETME rifle. It's also not a lower pressure cartridge, it's only a lower recoiling cartridge.
