Off the Rarity Charts - [SA] 1939 M/38

[Rongo]

It should be there no question.

[martin08]

I'm now just trying to wrap my mind around how desirable these guns can be...

... this one was a cut above mine, as it was matching, but at $2,050.00 plus shipping, it makes my investment sit rather pretty.

Heh, beat you to it martin!

[BuckeyeSgt]

Well I don't guess I'd ask ya if you want to sell it to me now.

[Miller Tyme]

Well Martin I guess we know how you are going to finance your retirement....

Very nice, bet you watched that auction just to see what your little gem is now worth.
On a side note it is nice to see MN's getting the respect among collectors they deserve, but the flip side is the good old days of cheap collectables is going fast.

I was watching with interest, and bidding with reserve.

The one in the auction was in a class above mine. I don't have the "matching numbers" magic. But I know that it will take a mighty sweet offer to pry it out of the vault.

Why does everybody bring up "sell milsurps" and "retirement" in the same sentence? What will I have left to do when I retire if I sold all my toys?

I'm with you.

[desdem12]

I am on the side of buying milsurps and retired. I guess i am doing it backwards

[Junk Yard Dog]

I just don't want to end up one of them old farts sitting on the porch all day waving at passing cars , or waxing my car for the 386th time because I have absolutely nothing else to do. I want to be the old fart who yells "get off my lawn" and people do because they know me as the crazy old fart with all the Garands

[pacanis]

Yeah, but 'ol Clint only had to remember 30-06.
I imagine someone will come in here and take away my ammo before I get rid of my guns... when I can't remember the difference between 6.5x55 and 7.65x53, or 7.92x57 and 8mm Mauser... err wait, there isn't a difference between those two. I should get myself some of those colored dots and color code my ammo to the rifle that shoots it

[Junk Yard Dog]

Post it notes work for me, got them up all over the place, here's one right here on the door " put on pants before leaving"

What makes that funny is there's a VERY valid & real reason that note is there. Did we actually go to the market in our Skivvies or not?

[Junk Yard Dog]

Not yet, that's why the note is there, also so the car keys and speed loaders are in my pockets, if I rush out to deal with a midnight noise and forget my pants I could have problems. There is another one on the bedside lamp shade " remember the revolver, and shotgun
I need to get a friend of mine some of the note pads, last month we were heading up north for a gathering of friends at another friends place. We stop to grab some junk food at the local supermarket, we were in there 10 minutes before I realized he was wearing pyjama bottoms for pants. He had been napping before he left his house, and guess were his wallet was? Yea, I got stuck with that bill. I asked loudly from the other end of an isle why he was wearing his PJ's, half the store turns to look, a little kid is pointing and laughing, his face was beet red. It's a bitch when the memory goes.

[pacanis]

Your buddy could be from my town

[martin08]

Birthday coming up next month. No further comment.

[Junk Yard Dog]

Well, I will see about picking up some of the stick on note pads, just let me know were to send them Martin that should be one of the easier birthday requests I have been asked to fill.

[Junk Yard Dog]

My partner is a caregiver for a guy with complete short term memory loss, resultant from a brain aneurism years ago. He can't remember anybody's name from yesterday. But on the bright side, he makes new friends every day!
