I'll Show You Mine If You'll Show Me Yours (Part Deux)

[GonzoX]

I know it's not dead (dead), Im just saying that it just seem kind of dead compared to gunboards. I do remember it being more active in the past.

I go to both at least once a week and in comparisson, gunboards forums have something like 80% more new threads or postings compared to surplusforum from what I can tell.

Some of the forum subjects (depends on subject) have one or two postings per week or five per month whereas most of gunboards forums may have anywhere from 10 to 100 postings per week.

Not bashing surplus or anything, it's just that I prefer gunboards since it is much more active and appears to have more members.

Mind you that there is no real dissagreement here on my part and no argument. Im just making a comparisson i.e. If you like forum "A", I think you will love forum "B" even more. Thats the jist of it.

we should have mosins like these in game

EWW....chrome Mosin's? Heresy I say! It's a main battle rifle built for a peasant army in far different times. Chrome is not meant for Mosin Nagants.

This is as flashy as I feel a Mosin should get.

...or maybe this.

I guess sarcasm is illegal... but then you were probably being sarcastic yourself, as I am now.

Yep, all in good fun.

 

[necropimp]

well sarcasm is good and all but can be very difficult to pull off with typed words

Well it's been about 4 years in the making but this should be my baby soon, pretty stoked.

(not my hands by the way)

Wartime Commercial, all matching, the grips are a little chipped but the bore is good, non matching holster/stock. I'd tell you what it costs but then i'd have to kill you

[GonzoX]

sold my SKS on Wednesday, bought this Vz24 with the money from it, it's a Romanian contract, and came with a bayo and scabbord for $120 OTD

Sold your SKS for something you can get at Big 5? EEK.

Nice rifle. What kind of SKS?

 

[Manstein]

my SKS? oh it was just a Yugo 59/66

I'd shot a box through it, and decided I'd enjoy another bolt-action more

P.S. there are no Big 5's around here, but what would it matter anyway? It's not like SKS's are the hardest things to get ahold of, either.

Why not get both? A VZ24 is only around $100 bucks.

 

[necropimp]

where? or are you confusing Vz24 with the Yugo M24/47?

i have no big-5 here so i have no clue about what they carry

 

[Manstein]

I wouldn't know either necro, the closest one to me is 343 miles away.

And what reason should I have to get both? If I kept it, I'dve never taken it to the range anyway, and it would only have sat in my safe. It doesn't fit in my collection either (WW2 rifles)

 

[necropimp]

i saw an ad in the paper "WW1 Rusian Army rifle $100" called and the guy brought it over to my house (not the usual situation when buying from an ad in the paper but oh well)

went to check the date and what do i see?

oh yes... not WW1 russian but WW2 finn

has some surface rust on the cocking knob as well as the exposed areas of the trigger and trigger guard can't say anything about under the wood condition other than under the handguard which looks nice since rear barrel band screw is busted and won't budge bore is a bit rough but for $100 i couldn't resist the call of the finn

 

[Manstein]

nice find!
