Wow very neat rifle !

The other night I was playing around on Gunbroker as I always do.. I found this auction With a crazy low BiN http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=495951572 I figured any m38 at that price was worth it, and this one had the stock cartouche intact which made me want to get a closer look...

I made a video of my reaction to this rifle, it kinda says it all.

Hey welcome back.. I know the feeling of not visiting because these guys are all bad influences. Lol, just kidding but I also was/am on a self imposed stop buy. However when a good deal finds you, you have to jump. Actually had to sell a rifle to buy a rifle last month but selling a Hungarian m44, t...

Super nice deal !! Great score and an antique to boot !!! Wowzer

JER don't you be setting any brain game traps for this old drug induced fogged up brain of mine. I am having enough trouble finding my way to the bathroom in my own house.

Does any one have any idea where the grey blanket guy gets his rifles from ?? I understand he must buy collections but where does he get them in the volume he sells ?? It's just nuts how many he sells ?!?!

Trick question, you never sell anything.

I won this rifle in a grey blanket auction a few weeks ago, and I am very excited to own one of the pieces of history. Sold a Hungarian m44 to pay for it (very broke right now) but it was worth it.

The pics make the deal even better

Ahh, I see !! Better new builets then in the ground. Awesome !!!

Ok it's very cool, but what are you looking for from it ??

Best of luck Bill, my mom has gotten them both done and it was a life changer to her.. Get through it and you will be running around the gun shows in no time.

I stop in every pawn shop/gun store I can find and just am persistent. You never know what walks in the door next.

It's where the unit disk used to go, they are usually missing on Finn rifles for some reason.

I found a rifle at a pawn shop today. With Dave's help I found out it's a Zulu shot gun.. It's in decent shape, but missing its firing pin. It also has what looked like Arab stamped into it. Maybe not??

Any way any idea to its value??

Thanks
