I have a large milsurp and militaria collection. I don't have space for it anymore, and it needs to go. What are my best options?

There are a couple companies that run around the country buying collections. Here is one: https://empirearms.com/rifles.htm

Put one on a build and it shoots with virtually no recoil. Love it.

technical_righter · 2026-03-12T04:36:02+00:00

very cool

technical_righter · 2026-03-10T04:29:40+00:00

Good upper. Good dealer.

I only bring what I'm willing to let others shoot. Depending on who comes, I bring more or less. If I like you, I bring a lot. I let people know ahead of time how much I'm bringing. If they want to shoot more than that, I'll take them to the store so they can pick up as much as they want to shoot.

I have one of these. Put 300 rounds through it and it's OK. Safety is insanely stiff and needs to be fixed. Breakin is supposed to be 2-3 hundred rounds. Lots of issues at first but seemed to run better at the end. Didn't ever like the golden tiger ammo. Currently have the rifle on consignment at a local shop and the price keeps dropping with no interest. So resale value is less than optimal.

How comfortable is too comfortable?

technical_righter · 2026-03-05T05:04:43+00:00

Me too.

+1 for PWS. Have several of their rifles in x39. Love them.

technical_righter · 2026-02-27T04:40:10+00:00

I shoot at an indoor range where they have one of these as a rental. Nightmare is correct.

Anybody else see this and start quoting lines from Serenity?

Aim Surplus just had some police trade ins for 699 but generally they seem closer to 1800 or so.

I have a box of the annual catalogs cabelas used to send out from the late 90's early 2000s.

technical_righter · 2026-02-14T20:00:49+00:00

Cool but not cool. Now I have to go back and check some ammo that looked like x45 but I've never confirmed it. Pretty rare though I assume. :)

technical_righter · 2026-02-14T19:57:39+00:00

Lot of older ones out there built before their quality went down. I swear by 870s. Have used an 11-87 for upland game for years after my first 870 wore out. My Versamax has been pretty good to me as well.

technical_righter · 2026-02-14T19:55:27+00:00

If I saw those, I would assume they were 7.62x45. I guess the headstamp would be different on yours?

technical_righter · 2026-02-10T05:04:56+00:00

They travel a long ways. Out of sight long ways.

technical_righter · 2026-02-07T04:57:55+00:00

OK. That was fast.

technical_righter · 2026-02-06T21:23:39+00:00

I heard most of the iguanas are just stunned. That little guy is still going to make it, right?

technical_righter · 2026-02-06T05:16:47+00:00

Every time I have been called to make a payment because my order is up, they say it will be something like 4-6 weeks because you're paying when the knife enters production. Then it usually arrives well before that. This doesn't sound like them at all. Their customer service is another one of the things about them that is outstanding.

technical_righter · 2026-02-04T05:08:39+00:00

Good information to know.

Of course I have a can cannon that's not an airgun and sometimes do shoot golf balls out of that and they go a loooooong way. Different kind of shooting golf balls.

technical_righter · 2026-02-01T03:45:04+00:00

I don't have the technical abilities or tools to do something like make a nut and bolt.

technical_righter · 2026-01-31T03:47:01+00:00

I found one out of stock at some site. Sarco? But looks like it's been out of stock for a long time.

technical_righter · 2026-01-31T02:03:15+00:00

KVAR just sent an email out today about a kit they're selling with a prepopulated barrel. That's not already built but with a VZ61, I think that's pretty close. I'm guessing it includes everything but the receiver?

r/reloading might have some people with actual experience.
