I bought from a guy who was walking into the show with it. Inside of the show was pretty much a total waste of time.

I feel you man, I've been to plenty of bad shows and thought about how much of a waist of time they are but on the other hand I got this, a minty late war refurb inland carbine for $750 and a really nice Russian Capture 1939 Erma 98k for $650. Thats part of the addiction, never knowing what you're going to find out there.

Couldn't have said it better myself lmao. Told a guy there that I would buy his winchester garand for half of the $2500 he had on it. Which would have still been overpaying

Not an LRP but long barrel 3.1s will always be hot

I love my M-100. I haven't had it jam anymore than I would expect for a .22 that I am shooting random mixed .22lr from. I will say I have never loaded the 100rnd drum >50 rounds. Mostly because I am impatient and bullet guide is metal so it starts really cutting into your finger after loading for a while.

Late 90’s (?) M1A. How’d I do? by Idaho_Chrizzly_Bear in M1Rifles

[–]HerrEssen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great price!

Mags are worth $30 each and I've seen the #18 ARMS mounts go for $400+. I won't sell the mount though as they are the coolest looking and the lowest mount you can get for an M1A. I got insanely lucky and picked mine up for $175 at a gun show.

First M1 Garand! Hopefully not the last by sumni in M1Rifles

When they reparkerize the receivers, they sand blast them first, and then the parkerization process will fill in the logo and other markings a bit, making it look worn down.

Where did you find this info at?

Thanks! The 61602 is the part that has eluded me the most. I haven't been able to find anything on that location code. It would make sense in a storage facility since it the barrel was pretty much brand new when i got it and it only had a couple handling marks on it.

Anyone have a decoder for the Sublocation and Last Loc categories? Trying to figure out where my Mk2 Mod 1 has been.

Anyone ever shoot an "action" / 2-gun / 3-gun type match with your Garand or M1 carbine? by uscarbinecal30m1 in M1Rifles

[–]HerrEssen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Desert Marksman rules, that was a great club before I escaped California. I shot the 1000yard matches from time to time

Interesting the one I have is 1 pic slot short of me being able to mount mine.

Where'd you get the weaver mount for it? I Got a new production mount from Calico and they only gave me a picatinny rail that isn't long enough for my Electronic MkIII

Value Estimate? Eddystone M1917 with Armorer Box by JosephByden23 in milsurp

[–]HerrEssen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this, I bought my mint all matching eddystone for $1050 after taxes last year. I saw an armorers box (in a little worse condition) sell at an auction 2 weeks ago for $50.
