What was this, another asshole gun buy back program? The carbine isn't your typical slum city bangers special, it's probably stolen and turned in as the only way the crackheads could find a buyer for it.

i would have fixed problems and made it a shooter. i got to fire randver's M-44 last night at a range. 2 foot diameter fireball and very much louder than my 42Izhevsk M1891/30.. i let him shoot mine also. irishman made up our gun range get together. fun,and since AIM charged me it means "bill,your M-44 is on big brown truck". i will go shoot it next week. wooohooo how come i gotta say A$$h*#^e and you get to say the real nasty?? cause i am a newbie i bet...

I would have thought they could learn from everywhere else where violent crime is droping because of regular grannies and gramps are now packing. The no gun thing just does not work at all. Has been not working for near 20 year now

Dang a old Krag, and isn't that a Gew 88?

Read the article...pretty funny actually. A group that runs a summer "gun camp" for kids sold all that stuff back, and bought modern firearms and ammo for the camp. They gamed the system, and it is awesome. Their angle was to gather up garbage guns that didn't work and were otherwise just scrap metal, and turn them in to new guns for the camp....The only thing I don't get is how the Mosin ended up in the garbage pile...from the looks of it, it would appear to be in really good condition...

Ya i saw the gew there. Not sure if the krag would be worth the trouble though. I would have liked to be ther for some of those though. MAybe we should put together a mosin buy back program. Get all those nasty mosins off the street and give them to a good home....you know kinda like mine. I would love to adopt one.

Actually there are some revolvers in there that may have some good collector value. And the M44 looks as if it only needs a bolt and bayo. The Krag has some parts as well that could be used for restoration. I see a bunch of wasted potential.

Looking again and in the lower left corner is what appears to be an Arisaka bolt and action.

Wasn't it an NRA run kids camp?

If a couple of milsurps have to die, at least the funding goes to letting kids learn to shoot.

I get to say asshole because I am a mean old junk man and it's the least nasty word in my repertoire of nasty words that could fill a dictionary

Wonder if what comes with a carbine sling?????? This is a thread about gun buy backs, did you go and buy a new rifle?

Doesn't every thread turn into an excuse to buy another milsurp or two for somebody here on the forum???
