Other Sports Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2 - Page 34

HonestChieffan · 05:52 PM

Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.

Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?

Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

The P38 I won on Gunbroker for $461 and $530 after shipping and ffl fee. I took a chance hoping it'd be in good condition since I won it for cheap. It turned out to just be dirty.

The Luger I bought at a local store for $1500. These are two guns I'll never get rid of, along with my Springfield 03 and M1 carbine.

Yes, I'll buy more. I got put on hold for an M1 Garand (sold out, could be six months) by the CMP. I'll probably buy 1-2 WWII weapons per year. Probably a German captured Polish radom or Japanese Type 14 Nambu pistol.

Quick question: going price on an SKS never fired, I'm assuming Norinco, comes with a couple of boxes of FMJ. Asking for a friend.

If its never fired and has the bayonet, I'd say at least $400. And that's if it isn't one of the Chinese variants that takes AK mags from the factory.

No AK mags, blade bayonet. Comes with 30 boxes of ammo for $500.
I told him it sounds like a decent deal.

Yeah that's a solid deal with the ammo.

30 boxes of ammo on the stripper clips? If yes, that's a good deal. If it's just 30 boxes of ammo, is it Russian crap or brass casings? How many rounds per box?

GloryDayz · 10-14-2016, 10:13 PM

Just buy!

kjwood75nro · 10-15-2016, 12:18 AM

Last gun show at Park City, best buy on Norinco SKS was $300, which was lower than all others at $400-500. Russian SKS ran around $650.

By 30 boxes, do you mean boxes of 20? If so, 600 rounds at around 20-25 cents apiece is $120-$150, so $500 total is fine.

I bought a Ruger Blackhawk Elite air rifle (.177) on sale and just got it yesterday. I went and got some pellets yesterday and decided to try it out this morning. That thing is louder than my 10/22! I guess it isn't the air rifle from my childhood. But it was a good deal...$55 and it came with a 4x32 scope:

This should be added to the OP, it could be very useful.

I'm telling you, if you want to ultimate short range "urban hunting ammo" go with the CCI Quiet-22. It's a 40 grain .22LR round that moves at 710 FPS and it's accurate out to about 30 yards. At 50 yards you get into about a 3 1/2 group. It's a lot quieter than a pellet gun. That's all I use around here to smack rabbits and squirrels.

The only drawback is I doubt it has enough juice to cycle through a semi auto model unless you were to manually eject it after each round. I just load it up in one of my scoped up bolt action .22 rifles and let it rip.

Here is some guy doing a demo, he is wearing hearing protection but trust me, you don't need it.

I used to shoot that (or an earlier version of it) with my Dad's 10/22 when I was a kid...fun stuff. But you're right, it didn't cycle the 10/22. It would be perfect for a bolt action Mossberg plinkster.

**srvy** · 10-21-2016, 10:49 AM

I would love to pick up one of these for some reason.

The Henry survival rifle designed long ago by Stoner for the military but just dint catch on really.

**srvy** · 10-21-2016, 10:54 AM

i have plenty 22 cal to plink around with but this is compact light waterpoof and floats perfect to take on canoe. But 250.00 I would rather find used.

Right now
i have my sights set on a Colt 1911 have not pulled the trigger yet but its hovered pretty close to the thunder button.

FWIW, I would ask you which part is non-matching. It was not uncommon in the field for armorers to lose the toggle pin or for it to break. If it is stamped with a "42", then that is probably an official armorers replacement part and qualifies your Luger as "all matching" for collector purposes. From a purist standpoint, I enjoy having ALL matching numbers, including the toggle pin. But if that is what is missing 25 and has "42" instead, then you are "all matching" collectible.

I can't speak to the price as condition is so important and I haven't priced Lugers in years, but your 1937 is late year, as the early year guns still had the strawing on the trigger and take-down lever like the earlier years had.

Congratulations. P.08 Lugers are so cool.

I got super lucky and found the matching part. My Luger is all matching now. I highly doubt I ever shoot it now. Hate to break a matching part.

A knowledgeable Luger person told me now that it's matching its probably worth what I paid for it or close to it.
