If there were a "Florida Atlantic Coast Only Gun Forum", I'd be on that. Unfortunately...
While I'm not too stoked for doing a 10 hour drive anytime soon, I can ship them anywhere you want if you're up for it.
Bump.
Being that the two Mosins are SCW rifles and all have no import marks, I feel that they're already priced quite fairly compared to the current market. However, I could come down to $325 on the Carcano, $525 on the Izhevsk, and $450 on the Tula. This is the final and only reduction.
The Mosins:
1936 Izhevsk M91/30 used by the Republican faction in the Spanish Civil War. One of the original swivels remains and the original stock cartouches are present and crisp. No import markings. -- $550
1937 Tula M91/30 also used by the Republican faction in the Spanish Civil War. This...
Not sure where you're seeing that its serial dates to 1905, but a 1,000,000-ish serial dates to late 1918. Being that the barrel is dated to October 1918, it's probably the original barrel.
The serial would have to be 67,001-119,000 for it to date to 1905.
The Soviets weren't known to deface Tsarist markings, except when reusing receivers and remarking them. The crudely-scrubbed barrel marking and peened receiver marking is consistent with imports from Romania.
The Fémáru (aka FÉG) Pistole Modell 37 is a version of the Model 37M produced for the Germans, namely the Luftwaffe. Rather than being in .380acp as is the Hungarian model, it's in .32acp. It also features a 1911-style thumb safety not present on the 37M. 85,000 total pistols were made for the...
Forget about the common run-of-the-mill refurbed 91/30 with huge billboard import marks, ugly finish, and flaking shellac stocks. This right here is what the 91/30 is supposed to be.
Up for sale is a 1939 Tula made Mosin-Nagant that was captured by the Finnish Army early during the...
Up for sale is a nice 1955 Tula SKS-45 refurbished at the Turkestan Military District arsenal in Tashkent, Uzbek SSR. The stock is an original Tula hardwood force matched stock with nice clear markings.
The rifle as a whole seems to retain the majority of its original finish, usually redone...
Hard to say for sure as Mauser records aren't an exact science, but it was likely made is the latter half of 1917 and was finally shipped to the front in January of 1918 as part of the first shipment of the 9x19-chambered guns.
Just moved down from central NC a few days ago. As a predominantly milsurp collector, I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of deals I can make down here. Not gonna lie, NC was pretty great to me in that department, so I’m hoping FL can keep up!
