Yessir I would. I have one with scars too. Metal still in mine

As we now live in interesting times there is no longer a " normal" price range on most firearms and ammo. You could try gunbroker.com and see if anyone is selling them. If your dealer has them for 350 then I guess that is the price. Around here it isn't what firearm you want and how much ...

It would be better if they were Soviet, or from one of the buffer countries. I am sure the Chinese ones are made the same, but right now my opinion of the communist Chinese is lower than hammered shit. It was never that high to begin with, but since Covid..... Interesting? What do the soviets usual...

Thank you! I stepped away from the hobby a while. Getting back into it. Sold a lot of things but still have a lot of my good stuff

Just curious? Why does this 1931 have an imperial eagle on the reciever? Wasn't that done after the communist revolution. Is this fairly valuable? Never saw one like this Local gun shop has this 5 mins from my house . they do all milsurps guns. I'm not selling it just to clarify All matching they ar...

Oh lord send me one next time before you smash it

I shot tens of thousands of rounds, but for me it's about the histor...

Yes that is creepy. Thats a k98 bayonet. Must of been on the Eastern Front.

This is blood pitting. It is on a T53 Chinese Mosin where the bayonet folds back to, the bayonet is clean. Mosin blood spot 001.JPG Yeah mine has that in the corner of the pistol... Wonder why the t53 would have any blood on it? Wasn't used in any war?? Well unless it was Vietnam The Chinese commun...

I can't tell from the pictures, they make it look only bluing deep, lots of things can take off bluing other than blood. Water beads on metal and tends to flow off, blood is like a salt paste that adheres to one area and goes to work right away. It will pull moisture right from the air to keep the ...

So I got this 1942 Italian Beretta locally about 3 years ago from a local gunshop. Got it for $200 I believe. Does this look like blood pitting? :vsad: The man that brought it in bought it that sold it, his dad served in northern Italy durring the war. I guess it was carried by a German solider that...

In case we need a hit were someone is glued to their chair? I assume you mean George Kelly Barnes the gangster, and not that asshole rapper, right?

Those are cool! I collect 1970s-1990s Bulovas and Seikos

Not are soviet tho
No sekovakis

The only way I can think of that you might get a Mosin that hasn't been refurbished is if you got it from the Finland batch. This is because when the USSR attacked Finland in the winter of 1939 some of the Soviet troops would have had newly issued rifles, or slightly older rifles that hadn't yet se...

Nice Rifles! The Soviet Union was a Communist Country... They had plenty of "Make Work" programs & one of them was Arsenal refurbishment. So yes; Yours mine, his, hers & them Thar Mosin Nagants saw at least one refurb along the way. The guns were disassembled, parts were put in pi...
