What do You Want for Christmas?

[silverbullet2893]

I opened an account on gunbroker.com last night and accidently bid on one three times.....it was a civilian version Universal so maybe we are in competition on the same one. My dad bought my first one from Sears for $99 back in the early 70's. I actually carried it to school on the bus as part of a history project in the 7th grade. People used to have common sense back then about guns.

We probably were lol. My goal is to have a weapon from every major country in WWII. The biggest hiccups are gonna be a garand or carbine and a carcano. But maybe one day

I’ll give you tree fiddy cash for it

I only paid about a hundred bucks for it. Over 20 years ago. Not selling.

 

[silverbullet2893]

New civilian copy. No bayonet lug.

well yeah, it’s a commemorative piece. One I would hang on the wall

The hell with Gunbroker.com, you have exactly what I want. Will you take $500 cash?

I need an Enfield. I had an arisaka 99. Sold it like a dip. But they’re cheap enough

A buddy of mine had an Arisaka. Crude but solid Mauser variant. Ammo too expensive to shoot.

extremely. I ended up having to drive to a shop about an hour away to bend over and take it up the hoop for ammo. Ridiculous. Think about the only place that makes it is hornady. That was before I was reloading too

I am guessing Scooby would like to find an expensive metal detector for a great price!

Now you did it, don't you move! I'm going to have to postpone @Brownslave688 and @542thruNthru's nut kicking to get to you in time for New Year's because of this callous comment.

I hope you get nothing but misery for Xmas!

My Enfield is a Number 4 Mk 2. Made just after the war but in excellent condition.

it’s getting hard to find anything at a decent price that’s not been sporterized

 

[Richard Harrow]

but I want one bad. I might save my pennies and end up getting one of these. View attachment 276940
Granted it’s not actually from the war like I want, but I’m a huge WWII nerd.

My brother in law has the M1 that his grandfather used in Korea in 1951.

My uncle made an attempt at bringing home his "trusty" M16 from Vietnam. Uncle Sam made him turn it in unfortunately.

My grandfather has his M1 Garand from his time in Korea in 1952. It was issued to him towards the end of WWII in Europe, February 1945. Kept the same rifle since his service in western Germany and used it in combat in Korea. I would love to get my hands on it.

Unfortunately I just want it to be over
It's not much of a holiday in this business

I didn't start getting into it until I retired. Even when the kids were little all I did was go through the motions just to please the wife.

TMi,

Butt, Geezus, y'all a bunch of gun freaks... U know u can't take them to the grave,

unless you're going to pass them on to your legacy, who'll sell them off to get a sweet gaming rig and luxury gaming chair to play fortnite 24/7

P.S., @Indecisi0n thread was funnier... he just started it too soon, I guess
