Picked this up today at a gun show in MO. $350
>1918
>Just enough scratches, knicks and dings for my liking
>Every number I can find seems to match
>Will take apart tomorrow to clean out
>No real pitting in barrel, nothing to concern me
Feels pretty good. Gotta say though as a side note, the show in KC Missouri was a major let down. Nothing really worth looking at, and I probably saw more baking/jewelry/camping/mallninja goods than actual guns by a ratio of 3:2. But anyways, what have you guys recently picked up?
I got this yesterday
>>29318547
What'd you pay for it?
>>29318374
>>29318547
/k/, where we pretend the beat up shot out misurp our poor asses can afford is special.
>>29318661
Whatever you say nigga
>>29318547
But why would you get an ugly CZ instead of a pretty one?
>>29318632
$561 + free shipping. 2016 date stamp w/ NSN.
>>29318374
Gun show by me:

>Obscure and old ammo, to include a two hundred dollar package of elephant slug bullets n'ga
Why do people dislike gun shows?
(Cannot move on desired purchases until summer, due to other, higher priority desired firearms)
>>29318689
The ones near me suck ass, I'll have to go to Vegas, Salt Lake City or Boise.
>>29318661
OP here
Never said my rifle was special. I think they're gorgeous rifles, so I bought one. I like the history behind them, even though mine probably wasn't involved in it.
What's wrong, shitstain?
>>29318689
>One stand of bows. Like 8 of them at most.
>Jerky stand which was cool
>Older woman selling baked goods
>Guy selling "Fuck ISIS" and "TRUMP 2016" paperweights
>Whole table of Garands for like $1600 a piece
>War documentaries and /k/ related movie bins
>Mallninja rep selling off his mallninja stuff
>People selling many accessories, yet no guns.
>Lady selling "antique alcatraz" stuff
>Guy selling shitty print out pictures of Hitler's mom and pop for $6 a piece of A3 paper.
Only about 40% of the actual place was guns. If I go to a gun show, I'd appreciate it more if it was like 60% or more being actual guns. I've never had issues before coming to this show. I asked the regular vendor I've seen around the cities there, and they even commented "It's really shitty this year."
>>29318661
Value is subjective. Something cheap can be special to its owner. In summation, fuck off.
Any good gun shows near the Plano/Richardson/Dallas area? Ones too look out for?
>>29318661
Wow dude holy fuck you're a faggot lol. What the fuck do you care what people buy lmao
>>29318689
Florida maybe?
Just picked this up a little bit ago. Sorry for shit picture, it's the only one I have and I'm out of town. Kimber micro. Really like it for pocket carry
>>29319656
No idea why my picture came up sideways...sorry guys
>>29318673
>>29318753
>>29318828
>>29318906
I guess the 4 of you are to drunk or stupid to notice I included myself in that but what ever. Fucking edgefags all over /k/ now.
I'm sending it off to a gunsmith for completion and assembly. Ak74 soon
>>29318374
Who made it OP? My first SMLE was 350 as well. welcome to the club!
I got an m48 yesterday and realize the sight post is canted as fuck. Is this gonna fuck up my accuracy?

>>29319850
Take that shit back and have them fix it, or you might just have to aim to the left side of the front sight
>>29319876
>>29319876
Yeah....i dont think they are going to just fix it because i tell them too. Fuck it, there is a gun show next weekend anyways, maybe i should just sell it and get my money back. Besides the sight the rifle looks pristine.
>>29319899
I bought a 03A3 that had a barrel sleave. It started to walk out and I took it back. Now I am getting a brand new barrel free of charge. If you take it back and they wont do anything about dont give them Buisness anymore
>>29319912
The store is closed until tuesday now shit....
>>29319919
>Close until tuesday now
You arent in Cuckifornia are you?
>>29319941
Oh, I guess the Open Tues-Sat isnt just a thing here. Well just wait till tuesday and take it back in there.
>>29318661

>>29319948
The sight lines up with the rear notch perfectly. You sure its not just cosmetic?
I picked up this Mossberg 550 for 40$ in a private sale. The thing was dirty as fuck and the finish was coming off, but 40$ is pretty good
>>29319995
Wow was it stolen? Seems like someone needed a hit
/k/, should I pick up a 1903a3 or a k98?
>>29319998
I doubt it, I work with the guy who sold it to me. He's doesn't seem like the guy who'd steal one. He (in his own words) is a strong advocate for private sales
>>29320002
1903a3
>>29320018
Which manufacturer? smith rem spring?
Just got a 1897 solid frame for 250 at the gun show in the Minnesota state fair. Couple tables had 3006 ap for a dollar a round too
>>29319899
If the rifle is otherwise pristine, take it to a gunsmith and see how much to fix. Obviously shoot it first to see if there is even a problem
Sorry for the low quality pic, picked up this yesterday.
>>29319792
Haven't found that out yet. This is my first SMLE so I'm still hunting for all possible markings before going online for a full scale search of it.
All I know from the markings is that it's the George Rex crown, 6503.
>>29322600
Can I see a pic of the markings that are under the bolt on the Stock band?
>>29322709
Best I can do right now with my patience and shitty camera.
Just picked up an '67 Ishapore Jungle Carbine from the Baltimore antique gun show today.
>>29320002
I think the obvious answer is to get both
>>29319707
Cry more faggot.

I got a stabby bit for my type 2 and rommy ak bayonet today
>>29324061

>>29324078
Yep, saw a shitload of type 2's at the gun show in timonium today
>>29318374
Got this Orange
>>29324096
>Saw a shitload of Type 2's
Mfw been wanting a Type 2 but can't find them anywhere near Kansas
>>29324308
The lowest one started at 2 grand
Made a thread about it yesterday, but whatever. Picked this up from a gunshow in Florida yesterday, $400
>>29324541
You'd have to be a moron not to pick that up for $400
>>29324844
I dunno. It's Thompson / Center Arms, and I've seen similar models on gun broker for $250-350. Mine certainly looks older than any of the ones on there, and has different pieces (different trigger guard, different patch box). Don't really know for sure and cant find out any more info about it
>>29318374
traded a Romanian tt-c for this. pic related, but not mine. winchester 1897 in 12 ga.
>>29324980
Good trade
>>29325003
thanks. according to the serial numbers it was made in 1909. no pitting or real rust on it. the inside of the barrel is like a mirror.
>>29325003
heres an actual pic of mine.
>>29325026
>>29325086
Looks like a nice gun, Shame about the recoil pad though
>>29325113
yeah. i thought about getting a correct one from numrich.
>>29318374
Poverty still.
>>29325123
I need to get a new stock for mine
>>29325142
did somebody try to do the trench gun thing?
>>29318374
>Listed at $1250
>traded my shitty S&W40VE and a grand for it
First time I've ever impulse-bought a firearm. Felt goddamn fantastic.
>>29325165
thats nice. im sorta jealous.
Grandfather has given me like 10 firearms in the past 8 months. last week he was moving out of his apartment and gave me a model 29 , springfield 1911, cz rami, and cz 75 compact.
>>29325153
No, Someone cut the barrel before WW2. the stock is a little fucked up on the pistol grip but its old and I havent seen an 1897 with the same butt plate. I was gunna get one from Boyds but I dont know if they make one for it
>>29325176
hnnnnnnnnnng
>>29325176
It's not in perfect condition. There was some rust (or unidentifiable gun safe fuzz) on the front sight post and in some of the gaps between welded sections of the receiver. There's also some weird coloration on some of the welds where they're turning red.
A pin is also either walking out of the gas block, or the previous owner attempted to hammer it out. Not entirely sure. Either way i'm happy as hell with it. Bolt is pristine and it runs flawlessly.
>>29325194
been really fortunate he trusts me and straight told me I'm the only one he really trusts to have these because i shoot and take care of my shit.
I got a Rossi break action 12 gauge and a chiappa 22lr little badger recently.
Ha-ha I already want more.
Any anons try the Baikal MP18?
>>29324980
>>29325086
>>29325142
How much should you pay for one of these?
>>29325392
if i were to have bought it, it would have been $350.
>>29325489
Ok, I saw one today for $450 and I wasn't sure if that was too much or not
bought a howa 1500 barreled action from brownells.
it is at my smith being threaded.
mpa ba chassis is ordered, and will be in my hands in 1 month.
>>29325783
guess if it's in top quality, it's a OK price.
But pump action that old is more a collectable fit for going father to son than something you take to the range twice a week. But that's maybe just MHO.
What are prices at gun shows like nowadays? Thinking about getting an SKS but I don't want to pay some shop $500 for a rough looking Norinco.
>>29326556
They've gone up. Most gun shows now are just stores paying booth space and bringing their inventory. Every booth is just the same kind of shops selling the exact same guns for the exact same price
>>29326577
>>29326556
And to follow up, most of the small time sellers you find vastly overestimate what they have. The gun show I went to this weekend had nuggets for sale at most booths, and the lowest price I found was $250.
For a fucking mosin
>>29326577
>>29326591
Well that sucks. I'll probably end up going through gunbroker for one then. Good thing several old guys in my town carry FFLs and love to do $20 transfers.
I picked up a Norinco Olympia TT for $225 a couple weeks ago, most recent purchase. Its a fun little shooter, great fit for a guy with big hands.
So, after searching gunshow after gunshow, and keeping an eye on grunbroker, I finally found myself a K31. In a Cabellas of all places.
Sadly, she's been badly mistreated, because the previous owner put her in a modern stock.
I've been trying like mad to find a original stock to put her back in, but for the life of my I cannot.
>>29327418
Is that a 31 or an older K11? I thought the 31s had that bare metal barrel grip thing, while the older G1911s and K1911s have the red rubber.
G1911 owner here. Good luck with that restoration, looks like besides the stock its not fucked with.
>>29324096
Jap guns are dope, how much are they going for?
>>29327477
You got me there. I'm ashamed to say I haven't taken any pictures of it, since it's currently staying in a friends house (I live on a military base in barracks, can't have guns.) Besides looking for parts for it, I really haven't done too much research.
I was just happy I finally found one of the damn things, sporter stock or not.
>>29327418
>>29327477
Thats not a K31
SR-25 ECR still waiting on the scope to come in
>>29327596
Yeah I know the feeling, I went to the show looking for a 31 and found my 1911 long rifle instead. If its a 31 the rear sights should start at 100 and go up, if its an earlier model they'll be at 300 and up.
>>29318689
>Why do people dislike gun shows?
99% of shit at guns shows is grossly overpriced. It gets old seeing used guns with asking prices higher than what a new one would cost. Plus
>endless amounts of shotguns
Fuck.
>>29325194
Which do u prefer between the rami and compact?
>>29327680
Well, I've been trying to get him to send me pictures, but I guess he's asleep or something. I'l do some research tomorrow and see what I have.
Picked this up on Wednesday. Breddy excited.
I got most of a PSA AR 15 kit a week or two ago, just need a stripped lower. Wanted a cheap intro to AR and this seemed like a good way to go.

>>29319850
Oh look at this, seeing this same view point on the internet is driving me even closer to just pushing my fun button and enjoying whatever heaven or hell comes next.
Transferable, disassembly thread coming soon.
It's hilarious how simple this design is.
>>29326556
Just went to a show in Florida on Saturday. $500 for a yugo SKS. $400 for nuggets. $1200 for garands from the CMP. Felt dirty in there.
>>29328689
rip your shoulder
>>29328770
neat
are the FA ones open bold, fixed firing pin?
>>29328980
Exactly.
The IMI ammo designed for them is also pretty neat, the primer are pretty much concrete. Both because it's an open bolt as well as the fact that the "firing pin" on the bolt face is fucking massive
