Any Shooters, Gun enthusiasts, collectors?

Anyone? I know some people here are kinda...anti-gun, but there might be some collectors here. I myself have been a one since i was a little boy. Right now i do alot of recreational shooting at a miltary base near me every weekend. Im also a huge collector and do alot of gunsmithing as well. I also do tons of reloading and since copper and brass are skyhigh in price. This is one of my main hobbies besides playing guitar. Very expensive hobby might i add. Must have spent over 10g in the past few years alone. Im mostly into military rifles from a variety of eras. Pretty much go to one gunshow a month for all the crapola i need for my builds, as well as tons of ammo. I used to do alot of competition shooting but that kinda died around my area. Also an NRA member, and im soon going to get my FFL Dealers liscense and try to start my own business of some sort. Im pretty hardcore with it when it comes down to details and knowledge. Been learning about this for ages. Anyone else into it? If so maybe we can share a few things yeah?

And please, no bullshit about guns are bad and kill people and all that other crap. Although i do respect other opinions, threads like these usually cause trouble. Please do not derail this and keep your comments to yourself. This thread is only for people who are interested, thanks

And sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I saw Lifestyles, so i posted it here

A few years ago a local gun shop had German and Soviet rifles for sale, cheap. They had swastickas, and the others had hammer and sycles. They were $200... I wish I would have bought one back then, but I didn't have my permit at that point.

It wasn't worth much, but it's historical value is what I wanted it for.

What was the condition of the german ones? Because those were probably the original german mausers. Depending on condition they can be worth ATLEAST 1000. Also the more marking the better, some are more rarer. Ive seen some go for like 2-3k. Depends on the model as well

They were obviously used, but no rust or scratches. The finish was in tact, a few dings here and there. And yes, it was a Mauser.

According to the guy that worked there, he said the guns came from a russian stockpile, they were seized when the Russians took some prisoners, and they sat in a warehouse until they decided to sell them.

There is a company called Mitchels Mausers that recovered a stockpile of Mausers from a factory somewhere out there and they refinish all of them to look brand new. Could be the ones you saw but i doubt it

i have a couple of rifles, my favorit is my Accuracy international .308 magnum AW, it has a semi auto conversion and it shots soooooo soft. i inherited it from my grand father and he paid 5k+ for it

This was before the conversion, it looks the same it just has a new chamber

Zoltta · 05-06-2008, 11:19 PM

wow man, a fucking AI....i envy you. Those things are insane. You can probably sell it for than what he payed for it

The only gun I have right now is my Remington 870 combo.
I use it for everything! Mostly clay targets

Nice!

I'd LOVE to take that to the range! You're lucky you inherited that!

I personally would have kept it bolt-action, but that's because there's something I find cool about bolt-action rifles.

I certainly would not call this particular guitar an "axe" more like a club. Noodles' KxK would run through an emo, spilling his insides for a quick death, this blunt mace would bludgeon the unfortunate effeminate soul, breaking bones, and causing internal bleeding to lead only to a slow, painful death
