Your first milsurp rifle

[Rick W]

M96 Swedish Mauser, made in 1902.
My first high-powered rifle. I've hunted with it, taking two deer.
It's a great gun!!

Arisaka that my stepdad gave me, then I bought a 8mm mauser. Sold both of them years ago....

I used to see the Carbines at the gun shows for $175. Now you really can't touch one for under $500. They are sure fun!

Yeah, it sucks.

Czech VZ24, w/bayonet, bandoleer, and lots of corrosive bullets on stripper clips. Fun to shoot. We gave it to my older son's friend a few years ago when they were having a bad Christmas. He used to pester me to bring it when we would go to Banner Rd. I think he has taken a few deer with it now. Good kid.

I haven't had a bad Christmas in a long while but where do I sign up to be on that list?

This. I'm still trying to get my hands on a garand.

Have you not tried the CMP? Just sayin'. Best deal around unless you don't want to go through the paperwork. PM me if you have questions.

x2 it takes a bit of work but its a good deal. Also lurk on the CMP forum. Deals pop up over there often but you gotta be quick.

I have a spare Garand. Bought it from Perplexed a few weeks back since I was going to sell my other Garand. As it turns out I'm keeping my other one for sentimental reasons. So I have a Danish return Garand with the VAR barrel that is available. I'd sell it for what I have in it.
