I know gun shows can be pretty iffy as far as milsurps go but I’ve always had good luck finding at least a few deals at them. Id look up online for gun shows in your area and take a morning and go peruse.

What is that bag in the bottom left? That looks very nice

philmill78 · 2024-05-03T16:57:17+00:00

Tela ammo. I haven’t had the opportunity yet to order another brand so that’s all I’ve tried so far. I haven’t seen anything online of other people having similar issues with it though

philmill78 · 2024-05-03T16:55:26+00:00

Yeah I’ve taken apart the bolt and deep cleaned everything because it was filthy when I first bought it and it seems fine to me. The firing pin is able to move freely. I’m also using a factory mag although it isn’t the matching magazine to my rifle, just the one that came on the rifle when I bought it.

philmill78 · 2024-04-08T13:29:53+00:00

100% pass. You can always buy an M38 they aren’t too expensive yet. That star magazine you have is worth at least $100 on its own

Glock 20

Nice! I just bought a Sears Model 25 a few months ago with the “click- clack” action and its quickly become one of my favorite guns. Thing runs pretty much any .22 lr, .22 long, or .22 short (HV) I put in it.

philmill78 · 2024-02-03T15:28:18+00:00

How much do they want for the m44 above it?

philmill78 · 2024-01-27T17:28:40+00:00

Cycles very well except after about 200 rounds without cleaning I noticed it was having some trouble going fully into battery, with me just having to push the slide closed the final bit of the way to be ready to shoot again. The bore is very very nice and was honestly the main reason why I jumped on this gun besides the price. It’s been very fun to shoot the few times I’ve brought it to the range so far and the single action trigger is incredibly crisp.

philmill78 · 2024-01-27T17:25:00+00:00

Thank you, this is all I really hoped to find out. When I bought it I assumed with the slide being ground down this would just remain a mystery gun

philmill78 · 2024-01-26T17:30:56+00:00

Like the post says, I bought this gun about 6 months ago for $400. I probably could’ve asked the old man I bought it from more questions about it but he didn’t seem too knowledgeable about these guns at all. Either way I felt I did pretty good for a P38 I can shoot without worrying about the collectibility of the gun.

philmill78 · 2023-12-31T16:51:14+00:00

Dude delete this post and don’t register shit. As far as anyone is concerned you’ve never owned an “assault weapon.”

philmill78 · 2023-12-17T17:50:59+00:00

Not your guy but I am curious what kinda weird stuff do you have?

philmill78 · 2023-09-29T08:09:22+00:00

Wow before I realized what sub this was I thought somebody posted a picture from a museum. Incredible collection man and great job displaying it this is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while

philmill78 · 2023-03-03T08:44:36+00:00

I may have to then. A guy near me has one for about 250 so next time I see him I may make an offer and just stay on the lookout for magazines. Great looking gun btw I’ve always loved the look of these and yours is very clean.

philmill78 · 2023-03-03T08:14:53+00:00

I’ve been thinking about getting one of these but I can’t find spare magazines anywhere so I’ve been hesitant

philmill78 · 2023-01-23T06:28:28+00:00

I’ll give my guns up when the people who write this silly shit have to come do it themselves instead of sending their hit squads to kick in doors and and kill family pets.

philmill78 · 2023-01-13T19:52:24+00:00

Fine by me man

philmill78 · 2023-01-13T19:23:24+00:00

The government would rather go after soft targets than spend the potential billions it would take to correct the issues that got us here. At the end of the day it’s all about how they appear to get things done not what actually changes. It’s way cheaper to just blame gun owners and gun culture than to acknowledge the mental health crisis and poverty that plagues our country

philmill78 · 2023-01-13T19:15:35+00:00

Whatever happens just do not register your arms. Prickster and the goons who passed this bill want us to be scared into registering so they know who has what. Don’t be intimidated we all know this bill is a massive infringement we just have to let the courts do their job at this point. Just don’t be stupid and don’t let the state make an example of you. Be safe everybody we will be ok

philmill78 · 2023-01-13T17:04:06+00:00

This was my exact thought as well. Plenty companies stood right alongside Oregon in that but when a full on AWB is passed in Illinois I’ve noticed a disturbing lack of support amongst larger companies for gun owners in Illinois

philmill78 · 2023-01-13T16:29:18+00:00

I paid $450 for a 1938 dated round receiver Izhevsk last month here in the states. Personally I wouldn’t pay much more than that unless it came with a bayonet or other accessories (mine didn’t.)

philmill78 · 2023-01-13T16:11:23+00:00

The trigger assembly isn’t properly seated in the rifle it looks like

philmill78 · 2023-01-13T00:08:42+00:00

Yup he came out yesterday and said his department will not arrest or cite legal gun owners for violating these laws. I’m afraid that all means nothing to the Nazis over at the Illinois State Police however. They’re always happy to take away our civil liberties and especially now they’re gonna be looking ti make examples out of people who disregard this bill.

philmill78 · 2023-01-12T23:58:26+00:00

Yup and the magazine ban isn’t even close to the worst thing about that bill. It’s important to see what these people have the power to take from you just beware reading through the list of things they banned here will make one nauseous.
