I Feel Like I'm Going Through Some Sort of Withdrawel
Gun show after gun show, shop after shop and nothing on my list ever making an appearance. I'm going stir crazy. Not that I haven't picked up the occasional non-list item here or there but where are the GEW 98's and P-14's and TS Carcano's?
It's like milsurps are drying up.
Went to the gun auction from hell this morning and nothing but worn out Mexican Mausers, sporterized Arisakas, and various other abused worn out sad looking items even I'm not willing to take on, especially for the prices the idiots were willing to pay. Went to the gun shop afterwards and for the 20th straight week, not one milsurp on the rack. Even Cabelas has run out of Mosin Nagants to look at.
Starting to be very glad I began my search when I did. If I had to get where I am now starting now, I could just forget it.

Seems like they run in waves, noting for a bit and then they appear. I guess they sit in collections and then they get released for whatever reason. Be patient. They'll appear.

Yeah, thinking of going to Oaks tomorrow. Looking for a nice K31 or a Makarov but I NEED bayonets.

Know where you are coming from. Months go by and there seems to be nothing special.Then a collection goes on sale at the LGS or at a auction and you try to find the little gems.Auction prices lately seem to be trending towards the stupid side.

Auction prices are, and have been for a long time, normally on the "Stupid" side! I very rarely go unless there is an item I'm willing to pay extra for.
I haven't bought much for a long time, but occasionally I trip over something I can't live w/o - Like the German mortar at SOS 2 yrs ago. This year was sure a dud, not even many knick-nak items. I don't think I spent $50.

Funny you mention SARCO I'm running a route in Easton Monday and planned on dropping by. That's why I'm debating Oaks, but the older boys like going with pop to the show so looks like both for me. Are/where the 31's at SARCO decent? The only drawback buying on the clock is smuggling whatever back past any run ins with D.O.T or State Police and then to my truck at the depot. Done before, will do it again...

Looks like I might be going to Oaks today after all. Will be getting there after lunch sometime. I'll be wearing a Desert Storm night camo parka and a black shirt if you run into me there. Probably leave directly from church this morning.

I read this too late, we left about lunch. Maybe next time.
Was a big show!! The mini military vehicle show was neat and getting to sit on this AA gun was awesome. I'm in the middle, flanked by my two eldest. These guns are live too.

Didn't buy anything but a shirt and some emergency parachute flares. No deals to be had. All in all a good day with the lads.
