Have anons justify your future purchases here. Was looking at buying an aluminum frame Walther P38 for $500. Is this a good price? Does it shoot well? Anything I should know?

I've been tempted for so long now

That's not a bad price for a P38 or P1 lately. The most durable versions have the reinforcement bolt in the frame and thicker slide around the ejection port. You can spot the heavier slide by looking at the cocking serrations around the safety - the original design only has serrations behind the safety lever. The heavier slide will have them on both sides of the safety lever. The fat slides were introduced in 1967, the frame bolts were introduced in 1975.

Im done buying shit other than ammo

Where's the katana?
Luis Cox
Waiting for brownells retro ARs to become available in leafland because nothing else on the market that I don't already have interests me
Julian Powell
Another Lupin fan I see
Unfortunately though this one was made in the 1950s so it wont have any of those improvements.
Jaxson Murphy
Hadn't found a suitable representative yet.
Here is a photo of the P1 and P38 for comparison. My P1 has the fat slide and frame bolt.

Just started my first job making $9/hour. Saving for an Arsenal SLR 106 because I LOVE 5.56 AKs.
William Kelly
What kind of grips are those on the P38. Bakelite or the "brown" grips that seem to be sold on ebay/GB. Got a link to where I can buy some?
Daniel Price
Next purchase is gonna be this or a Fulton Armory Tanker Garand
(and it's probably gonna be the big iron)
I want to carry a .357, and I want a Garand without any differed maintenance.

I have a Manurhin MR96 still waiting on export from Germany. I'm on the lookout for a Mexican Rurales Pieper Revolver Carbine as well as a Mexican contract FN 1922. I need to buy more modern guns to round out my collection, I've bought nothing but milsurp for the past several months with the exception of my Manurhin MR88.
Jacob Hill
>type 46 on the way
Next is a 7mm rolling block or a nagant revolver. Maybe a steyr Hahn if I can get lucky
Jack Nelson
Don't know why i didn't write what I was going to say. Where do you plan on getting that specific of a peiper? Im not even sure I've seen one for sale ever. Godspeed

Hounding live auctions, they pop up from time. A lot have seemingly hit the market recently.
Matthew Ortiz
Interesting. I doubt they'd be newly imported. Peipers don't get much attention in the surp game. How are the prices?
Juan Sanchez
>How are the prices?
The carbines are $1500 - $2000 and the M1893 revolvers are $2000 - $8000. I'm just hoping I find some tard with an improperly identified revolver and snag it for cheap.
Gabriel Roberts
They are original bakelite grips. My P1 has been wearing some walnut grips as they are much comfier than the rather flat checkered plastic.
Isaac Butler
I am planning to call up Savage special order shop and have them build me a left handed B22 FV-SR. Hopefully in stainless if they can but that's probably asking too much. I called the other day and they said the lady that does custom orders was on vacation and I would have to call back another time.
Gavin Myers
technically my next purchase will be a .22 AR but thats a build so i cant really post a picture. so my next full gun will be a RIA 10mm 1911

I decided recently to put together a 10/22 using Brownell's bull-barreled receiver and Magpul Hunter stock, pretty much will be like the screenshot from Gunstruction. It made no sense to me; all of sudden just seeing it all together made me want one so badly. I hadn't particularly wanted a 10/22 before but this build just looked so good to me for some reason.
Jose Rogers
Good for you.

Andrew Butler
Trying to decide on what red dot to go with now. Stuck between the Trijicon RX06 and Holosun HS512C
Jaxon Murphy
$500 is a decent price.
I've shot one before. Except for the horrendous DA trigger, the P-38 is fun to shoot, suitably accurate, & was 100% reliable w/ the ~80rds that I shoot through it.
There's nothing particularly that I can think of that you should know.
Michael Foster
Just bought a gen1 vector SBR, gonna gussy it up for a while.
Still got my eyeknobs open for a good deal on a tp9, mdr, triple threat, or aug but I really shouldn't be dropping that much dosh in so short a time.
Jackson Scott
>aug
OP here. Just bought one. Totally worth it
Austin Brooks
Yeah but I'll be damned if I'm dropping 2 grand on one. Still kicking myself for letting one slip by at 1300 but I was broke from similar shenanigans at the time.
Leo Perry
Ive been eyeing this one for a while but haven't had the money. its the closest to zantetsuken Ive seen

Are the Kimber revolvers any good?

Cameron Smith
I'm gonna buy my first gun, a heritage rough rider. It's on sale new for 130. Seems like a fun gun to learn with and something my mom will be able to shoot for fun too.
Owen Jones
Id honestly save up a hundred bucks and buy the new Ruger Wrangler thats coming out soon. The Rough Riders are known to have issues and Heritage is owned by Taurus I think.
Ryan Evans
Theoretically speaking, if I work my ass off for 3 more months I can buy that sweet XM177E2 clone Brownells make.

I intend to buy a shock wave as my first shotgun tell me why not
Juan Evans
Its a meme and you can't do anything practical with it on a regular basis
Isaiah Brown
Just checked and those are on sale at the same place for 180 so it's not even that much more. Thank you user
James Adams
Glad to help. Enjoy
