Where are all the surplus arms?

[Joe Boleo]

I am having some difficulty finding decent surplus arms at reasonable prices. The websites that offer surplus arms seem to have fewer and fewer offerings. Are you folks seeing the same things? I know that collectors have been buying up guns for years and they seem to hold onto them. I keep looking, but the selection appears to be very limited. It is about like looking for silver coins. Take care...

I agree that the pickings seem to be rather slim. What I am finding is in undesirable condition and at unbelievable prices. I was in a gun shop yesterday and saw an 1890 Turkish Mauser in NRA horrible condition. The shop had it marked as a '98 Mauser (which it is not) for a mere $199.00. I pointed out the error on the hang tag and they changed it. I would have offered them $20.00 fir the relic. All the best...

Gil,

ALL the military surplus arms are in your home and Joe's barn. LOL.

I agree the pickings are far too slim these days for military arms. I have not seen any nice military arms for a loooong time. After January 20th, I suspect things will get worse.

Merry Christmas
