A Type-53 is a Chinese M44.

Look at all of the nice T-53s. We can't let that trend continue, now can we?

Well, quit using it up then. I will trade you Romanian for it. ;) ;)

I'm good, thanks though.

Glad you made it Miller.

Checked out the other place, and found a few interesting, but overpriced items. Nothing to make me want to spend $. I think I will just hold off a while and let the gun money stash grow. Sadly there won't be any new gun pics from me this week, unless I can get that m38 Swede for about $300.

I'm gonna check another place this afternoon, that had one a few months ago. Maybe I'll find a better deal.

What gets me about it is that my M96 was only $250 a couple of years ago.

I was shooting Czech silvertip last weekend. Some of my rifles like it, some don't.

I am gonna go look at again tomorrow. Last night I was dealing with him on a .22 that my BIL was wanting, and I didn't give the M38 more than a cursory look. I want to say it is matching, but I wouldn't call it mint. Thanks MH.

Wow, haha. So if your wife rearranges the furniture I'm guessing you still try to sit in the old spot and fall on the ground?

She knows better than to move my chair.

I think that might be a good range to start. $250 to $350. Not much more unless it was really nice or "I want it"!.....and.....you know you want it! Go get it Millman, we need some more photos here! :lol: Dolk Thanks guys. I agree that we need new photos, but I can't see paying more than ...

What would you guys pay for a 1942 M38 Swedish Mauser. I found one for $450, but don't want to pay that much. What would you offer?

Hi All, Thanks for the invite over to this new site, I am very glad to see this happen. I kind of dropped off the maps and I am not a big contributor, but I sure enjoy the reading and pictures. I wish I had more time to spend here. Thanks again and I am anxious to see this take off. Mark Good to se...

One small request, humor me because I'm special... :roll: :roll: When posting, there are three buttons on the bottom. Could you switch SAVE DRAFT with SUBMIT, making SUBMIT on the left? I keep automatically hitting SAVE DRAFT when I mean to hit SUBMIT just because it's on the left. It's a really sm...

I want one! That is a nice looking shooter. Are they horribly expensive? Dolk Mine was $400 with a set of Lyman irons. I acquired the scope separately later on. I know $400 was a really good deal, but since I have never seen another 5200 for sale, I don't really know how good. I don't know if I cou...

He was. I hounded him and hounded him to get it. He was working out a deal on it when he passed.

Welcome back NS. Good to see you here.
