Let's See Your Military Surplus Rifles.

[SaxonPig]

Point of order?

Folks are posting photos of AR15s, AKMs, and other rifles that do not seem to me to qualify as "MilSurp" (which is military surplus, right?). To me, if it was made for civilian sale it's not a true MilSurp.

Am I wrong?

 

[Gelgoog]

I agree, unless it was issued it is not milsurp. Civie AKs and AR15s are just sporting rifles not milsurp. The legal definition if it does not fall under curios and relic, then its not milsurp.

 

[blackops]

quite a collection kris...nice.

 

[The Rifleman01]

So, if they show some military guns and an ak, or whatever, shows up, so what. Just adds to the show.

 

[Gelgoog]

And The Abomination.....not finished yet, but a target rifle based on a Mosin action. Here it's still just mocked up. Why? Because I can.

Several of my AKs are built from surplussed military guns chopped and imported into the US. Seems to me that is very literally milsurp.

here,s a few. eastbank.

sorry missed pic,s, eastbank.

 

[ccsniper]

eastbank, I wouldn't show that pic. Some guys on here might actually change their minds about redistributing the wealth, haha "you have too many guns, you should give us less fortunate ones a rifle or too". I am just kidding cant really tell what you have, could you take a photo of them layed out?

 

[CZguy]

eastbank,

You seem to have substantially more than you fair share.

As mentioned in the above post, from time to time some of us have been willing to help someone like yourself. I would be willing to give two of them a good home.

I know that I don't have to help out.................but that's just the kind of guy I am.

 

[gunnutery]

eastbank, nice pic, hopefully someday I'll be able to take a pic like that.

[CZguy]

61chalk,

The stock on the HRA is beautiful.

Now if you tell me it has a LMR barrel I'll turn green with envy.

 

[Matthew Temkin]

iamkris:
Man, do I envy your collection.
My wife would kill me!!!

 

[lionking]

Gelgoog, yes South American contract Mausers are really works of art and craftmanship. Hrd to believe almost that such beautiful rifles were used hard in South American high humidity jungles. Luckily it seems a few escaped hard use and were re-imported.

Here is one you might appreciate you don't see that often. Venezuelan 24/30T target rifle, which not that many were made for the Pan American olympics back in the 50's. It has a longer than normal barrel and a adjustable rear sight for windage.

I got real lucky on gunbroker for this one a while back, for some reason nobody bid on it and was a low starting price. The seller said the bore was corroded but when I ran a patch thru it it cleaned up sparkling nice.

RP88 I got that SVT back around 1996 when they were recently being imported. I looked at a few which alot of them had foul bores, this one is very shiny inside.

And here is my (was) Polish M44, it was mint, I never even got around it firing it. It was stolen from my house in Sept along with my Carcano and Universal carbine and Savage 110 7mm Mag. It was not a random break in, I know this but won't go into details because they were caught and things are pending. Unfortunately they aren't saying were my stuff is, which actually 2 guitars is what I really want back most of all.

The only reason they got caught was because I searched pawnshops and found one guitar and alerted the cops. What's worse is I had to buy back my own stuff from the broker.

You guys, if you have firearms and whatever stuff, get a safe, mine saved my a$$. The only reason those stolen weren't locked up was because I ran out of room and was keeping my less valuable ones in a closet until I could get another safe. Now I splurged on a full system alarm also and extra locks. Even my other Mosins escaped being stolen because of a stackon cabinet. While stack on safes aren't really that break proof in this case my Mosin 91/30 collection escaped from being snatched. The Liberty and Winchester safes I got for my other stuff saved me from it being a catastrophy compared to a setback.

Glad you asked

AK47



But my favorite is a M1 Garand and I don't own one of them

you and I must have both been looking at the same rifle then, because I remember seeing that on GB and drooling over it. But seeing as how I had 17 bolt guns already I decided not to go through with buying it.

I guess if you know your mausers, you know south america is where it is at. I have 4 Argentine mausers ( 1891 engineers carbine, 1909 full length, 1909 cavalry carbine, 1909 mountain carbine) and a Venezuelan 24/30. They are all in such incredible shape that its hard to believe they were made 100+ years ago.

LionKing,

That's screwed! Is that standard? I would think that the pawn broker would be SOL on that.
