Yesterday, a guy whom I know well and who sold me my wonderful Argentinian Mauser, called me to inform that a big collector wants to sell his stuff, but wants "selected" buyers. Passionate people.
He offered me this for 2500 €.
I wanted an Arisaka, he told me 3000 € with the Arisaka.
Oh my...
Can't resist.
Can't do it...
Oh my...
Maybe I can buy it, try it and resell it making some margin...
Oh my...

Looks the goods Ovidio however I for one would want to go over it with a fine tooth come to ensure all is as it should be not saying anything bad but you have to look passed the shiny bits.
That's a fair bit of coin $4,161 Aud and $4993 Aud for both if you could say knock them down to say $2750 or $2800 Euro's cash for both !
Then have a play, that is a very desirable military weapon I do not think you'd have to much trouble moving it on for a reasonable profit.
Our new law coming in next year will limit recreational shooters to 5 rifles those with licensed existing high powered rifles will have to get a farmers letter again then reapply for the rifle to be licensed at $376 per weapon or 5 for the same price.
But the requirements for the licensing are quite strict even for the farmers letter has to be over 2000 acres in a single block cannot be 300 here and 400 there and so on our Govt here wants no firearms in the community a communist state.
One lotto ticket and I'm out of west au sad to say but this these turkey's are ruining a shooting pastime and proud ownership of some nice history as they think their laws will stop the illegal gun trade they are very delusional..........................
As everywhere.
I was talking to my Israeli friend a few minutes ago. I told him a video of three terrorists entering a kibbutz shooting their AKs down the road, taken from a window, really impressed me.
They were 30-40 metres away from the guy filming... He could have shot them easily with any rifle. I caught myself thinking to shoot them with my Garand, keeping a Mauser or two at the side...
But nope. He had no means of self defence... He had to close himself in the shelter. Luckily they all survived.
I know that you have to find yourself in that situation before asserting that you would've done this and that, but I think that, confronted with certain death for you and your family, you would have no doubts.
He agreed with me that this is already getting a very big discussion point there.
I'm sure we'll be right behind you as they have mirrored Aus so far.Quote:

It looks very tidy and would be one of the batch of ex-East German Border Guards rifles that were released onto the market in the 1980's. They were all refinished. Is it still select-fire or converted to semi-auto? They are good collector's items and worth keeping if you get them at the right price. Sadly, the supply of the 1970's/80's East German steel-cased ammo dried up some years ago.

Those are still prohibited here. The ammo is for sale right now on GunNuts at a staggering price for something that's neither shootable regularly or legally and not really collectable.
Oh my indeed...:super:Quote:

Eu3000 is an absolute bargain for an original MP44......there's an original but deacativated one currently for sale in the UK for £8000.......so 3k for one that works is an absolute bargain!!
