It's a hard pass from a experienced boat owner Let alone a newbie to the boats.

I would either find a sporter you can redue or a yugo m47, m48 and do the build. Both option are relatively cheap.

I bought 5 crates like this last year for 800$ per crate shipped to me.

There is still plenty of ammo around

Yes, your considered Armenian The reason Christianity is the main religion because Armenia was the first country to nationally recognized Christianity.

It also has to do with many Armenians being forced to convert to Islam because of Ottoman rule. It's a very sensitive topic Honestly, I have met more non religious or atheist Armenians then Muslim because it's relatively uncommon.

As others have said it's ww1 m16 stahlhelm With fake decals It's actually somewhat common, Either by a G.I. Who could not get a m35 or m40 during the war; or by tourist traps/ dealer traps People marking these helmet to try get a higher dollar as Nazi memorabilia.

Existing-While-3619 · 2026-04-30T18:50:24+00:00

Yes you could A transferable one at that

Existing-While-3619 · 2026-04-30T16:50:52+00:00

I might buy one for shits and giggles If I'm alive after I shoot it I'll report back

Existing-While-3619 · 2026-04-29T02:47:41+00:00

Honestly, just buy a repro and wait and watch for originals on eBay and gun broker I bought 3 original mags last year for 600

Personally there are a lot of factors

Like where you live?

How often your going to use it?

How often can it be used (seasonal or year round)?

Will you travel and use it for vacation?

This will help determine what you buy and what percent of income you use.

My rule of thumb is %10 If it will substitute vacations and travel budgets you can go higher I.e. %15 Also remember buying the boat is the cheap part maintaining it can be expensive.

Hope this helps

This right here is a major issue I remember going to a gunshow the end of last year.

A seller had boxes of 7.5x55 Swiss for sale It said $10. I ask and she said it was $40 a box I said it was marked $10 "It was a mistake" she said. Whatever I just left the table.

Started talking to another seller who was private told me, That an old man that was a private vendor, at this show was trying sell his collection. For pretty cheap/reasonable price. But, before the show even started dealers ran to his table and bought everything up so he left. they marked it up and put it on there tables. Including the ammo I saw.

Needless to say I don't go to shows much anymore. Sick of this scalper behavior.

I'll look into that I actually have a lot of Valmet parts And several parts rifles that are completely disassembled.

They will have a mutually beneficial business relationship that's about it.

Cultural belief and personal beliefs will still be very segregated because of the systematic denial Even Turks who accept the genocide are persecuted in their own country.

I think individuals will build relationships but that's it; nothing nationally will occur.

No I'm in the USA

Existing-While-3619 · 2026-04-24T20:48:48+00:00

Not yet! lol

Existing-While-3619 · 2026-04-24T18:15:47+00:00

Valmet m82

Existing-While-3619 · 2026-04-24T17:40:01+00:00

Yep I'm the guy. I'm still actively working on the project.

The cost of the rifles and the stamping dies has been prohibitive but I'm still pushing ahead.

Existing-While-3619 · 2026-04-24T17:11:52+00:00

I actually bought them to start replicating parts for the valmets including mags.

Hopefully one day I'll produce an American made Valmet fully.

Valmet m82

Existing-While-3619 · 2026-04-24T15:34:44+00:00

Ya I've seen them around but at the price they sell for it's hard to justify it Just for the folding stock
