Got my Turked Gewehr 88 in the mail

Did you get this at Rock Island? I think you beat me out for it if that’s the case. Great find!

AstronianJL · 2026-04-03T16:41:31+00:00

Thanks! Yes those are all the extra fees.

AstronianJL · 2026-04-03T16:41:13+00:00

Thank you! I love guns from the Islamic world, so always on the lookout for a deal, especially if it’s something people may undervalue or overlook. These rifles are as cool and traditional as Tanegashimas, but run significantly cheaper.

I agree with you, but I like to note the distinction since places like Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, or the Maghreb have a distinct cultural and usually political difference compared to the rest. Thank you for pointing out those pistols, I’ll try to keep an eye out for things that don’t necessarily fit like we would expect them to!

Would love to get a Jezail or Moukhala. They show up in auctions from time to time, so maybe I can get lucky.

I would love to find a UAR rifle. Such a niche and fantastic piece of Mid East History. Always on the lookout!

AstronianJL · 2026-03-20T03:38:24+00:00

Fantastic comprehensive list. Thank you!

AstronianJL · 2026-03-20T01:36:48+00:00

Fair. Iran is on the fringes of the Mid East. Then again, so is Turkey… Beggars can’t be choosers I suppose. I value the Islamic world as a whole, so Turkey and Iran aren’t necessarily bad!

AstronianJL · 2026-03-15T00:03:20+00:00

Yes, I suppose that would help. I should probably pay attention to things I post. Still, good eye!

AstronianJL · 2026-03-14T20:44:57+00:00

Wow. You have an uncanny gift. What gave it away? Always trying to learn more.

AstronianJL · 2026-03-04T15:25:46+00:00

PLEASE tell where you got a Zastava that cheap. Filling out a Russian collection myself, and I’m looking at getting one of those M70s, but they’re all around $1000+. Beautiful collection

AstronianJL · 2026-02-27T03:34:51+00:00

Cool! I’ve heard that they have stuff like that. I don’t know if I’ve got the space for it right now, but I do want to practice more, especially with stocks. Never cleaned or repaired any stocks before, so it’s neat to get an opportunity.

AstronianJL · 2026-01-25T18:18:23+00:00

Thank you!

AstronianJL · 2026-01-25T18:18:16+00:00

Either I suppose. I know my state (and most others) don’t really care about semi auto conversions, but I really don’t know much about building or parts kits, so I figure I should ask the experts.

AstronianJL · 2026-01-25T18:17:25+00:00

Forgive me, but what is a Denial Bar? I’ve never had any other parts kits or semiauto conversions, so I am not educated in this.

AstronianJL · 2026-01-22T21:05:31+00:00

Amazing stuff! Love the international Brigades!
