I don't usually buy any military surplus guns. Unless they are pristine they don't bring much when you sell them and personally I am not interested in them..Not that I don't have any..they just don't thrill me. I am considering buying a Mosin Nagant just for grins and giggles though. I do have the M1A I bought early this month and the Russian SKS too. It has all cartouches and is like new. Dated 45..Just bought a case or two of ammo for it too. . I also have the Inglis High Power 9mm and of course nuff ammo for a while. I buy a few but mainly for a friend who seems to have a collection of the old things. My one failing is buying 1911s. Was at a yard sale this weekend and found no guns to buy. I did get a box of 45 Colt ammo with the FA 3-11 code. Paid 10 bucks. 105 years old and still look good

Another military rifle price check
I picked us an excellent used Auto Ordinance 1911A1 today. I saw more used guns on the used gun rifle rack. The Italian Carcano at $279 is still there. Next to it was a Soviet SVT 1940 Tokarev semi-auto rifle with a hang tag price of $1,179.00. I suspect it will be there for a long time. All the best...

The prices of military surplus arms will continue to go up.. In the early 1960s we bought MkIII SMLEs for $14.00, 98k Mausers for $15-20 and Lugers were $25.00. Reality Check: the 1960s are LONG GONE! Along with 27-cent -a gallon gas, dollar haircuts and $12,500 3-bedroom homes. Also, the median income was $4,500.00 back then.
Buy whatever military surplus arms you can for the asking price-it will never go down. In addition, none of us will take any of those arms with us when we go. Adam
