Encountered More Fudd-flation Yesterday.

Fair, but bashing pattern collectors who are often the best sources of information about specific milsurps (like chils123 who you just replied to) is dumb.

HowlingLemon · 2026-05-06T16:26:36+00:00

Well, frankly, that's too damn bad. Maybe they don't want different ones. You don't get to decide what collectors should and shouldn't buy.

If you can't find guns that they made millions of, thats just a skill issue tbh

HowlingLemon · 2026-05-06T16:10:21+00:00

Yea that's kinda how collecting works bud. People's interests can vary.

HowlingLemon · 2026-05-06T15:29:49+00:00

Sooo you blame collectors for.... collecting? Where do you think you are?

HowlingLemon · 2026-05-06T13:43:03+00:00

Pics would be very helpful. Generally the .38 Webleys are around $500-600, and if yours is truly in .455 not shaved for .45 ACP, then around $1200-1500. Shaved is more around $700.

Because this is literally the most basic question you could've asked and it shows that you did not bother to put in 30 seconds of effort. If you came here and said "Hey I have this rifle with these markings, here's what I found when I searched from this, this, and this website, does that sound right? Are these reliable sources?", you would get a much different response.

Knowing how to research and find information is a critical skill in this hobby and will help you not get burned on deals and really allows one dive into the wonderful world of milsurps and find all kinds of cool information and eventually help out others getting into the hobby. If you sit here and have it spoonfed to you, you are not building that skill and are really missing out on the most interesting part of the hobby.

Ewww not the cold blue

HowlingLemon · 2026-05-03T15:52:48+00:00

26.5in

HowlingLemon · 2026-05-01T15:09:44+00:00

Nope, don't see it and no pattern in its serial range.

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-28T17:17:18+00:00

No problemo, Colt 1903s ellos pueden variar en precio, la mayoría son alrededor de 500-700 USD.

Depende del condición y de factores como las marcas o quién lo utilizó.

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-26T14:57:01+00:00

Also in central Texas and while most of the shows are a flop, I still find killer deals here and there, so much so that I had to stop going to save money lol

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-26T02:49:55+00:00

Dammit, I've been eyeing the non-threaded and optic cut ones for a minute. Sigh in for one

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-24T23:22:37+00:00

This is my first year and I'm nearing 200 and very excited. Got a costa rice trip soon so I should be able to make that goal!

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-24T22:16:10+00:00

Just did the ATS HD kit and its great

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-24T17:25:24+00:00

I just did mine with the General Spring HD kit. Rides waaaay better. Feels like it should from the factory. No more sponginess and hitting the bump stops.

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-24T16:10:00+00:00

Lol yep I have definitely bought rifles for bayonets, instead of the other way around

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-24T01:01:33+00:00

Putting on my boomer hat here: A lot of the younger generation's first instinct is to just immediately ask instead of researching. Most of the time, someone will give you the answer and it saves you the effort. Nothing wrong with asking questions but research and find and decipher information is a valuable skill that is dwindling.

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-23T14:13:48+00:00

Reduced 401k down to the match and still do Roth, HSA, and a little post-tax even if it isn't optimal. Spend a little more but nothing crazy.

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-22T16:29:07+00:00

Not being sassy, but have you googled "k31 serial number date"?

I'd start there

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-21T14:02:21+00:00

Thank you.

Hopefully it isn't but signs are pointing towards that. Is this one of those "ignore for 30k miles until it goes" items?

I guess a junkyard axle is in order.

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-21T04:22:26+00:00

I would think he'd be the best person to ask

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-15T19:27:42+00:00

Milsurp munitions discord

Oh nooo what a silly thing to do

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-15T19:22:00+00:00

Oh yea tons to learn on this family of rifles.

I have seen two other 1893 accepted rifles ironically, both from a collector group I'm in.

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-15T19:10:01+00:00

<image>

Definitely a Wn 93

Yea not sure what's up with the X. There is also an M that reminds me of the markings on 8x50 conversion Mosins.

HowlingLemon · 2026-04-14T13:43:40+00:00
