Long losing streak ended, Christmas present

[desdem12]

Welp i could not pry a mosin from any of you crooks. Not even for well over $300 dollar bids. I had to go outside the mosins and got of all things a shorty.
Know nothing of these save they look great. This one was the nicest of the batch lately but likely paid too much. Any comments welcome and i did pay a tad more then 123.45 for it.

That's a nice looking rifle. Congratulations on your Christmas present.

Congrats it looks like a nice one! It'll be fun to hear & see more about!!

I snagged a different '38' in a GB auction last night.... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =322440689 ...stayed with a caliber I've got on hand.

Let's see who's arrives first!!

Merry Christmas!

I definatly saw that and was thinking on it. Glad you got it and the price was good on it as i was watching it. What a nice grab. I am not sending the MO till wednesday cause i haven't heard from the guy yet but he is 2 states over if that matters this time of year. Nice Pick up Gwilly and merry christmas to you.

Looks like a nice Type 38 carbine. You will have trouble finding ammo for it. I managed to find two boxes online at almost 30 bucks per box; 6.5x50 is rare.

nice rifle.i had a type 38 afew years ago and sold it because i could not find ammo.

I get a box of cigars for Christmas, and some booze, cookies, brownies, pie, cake, and chocolates. I can't drink the booze, or eat any of the sweets, so I just chain smoke the cigars.
Nice deal on that carbine

The Old Man started in on the chocolates this afternoon, the man is a closet chocoholic, the booze is now a Christmas tree decoration. The blue color of the Bombay Sapphire Gin reflects the light nicely the guy paid at least $30 for this so I have to get some use out of it .

[desdem12]

I quit drinking long ago. I found it to be useless to rent it and i could use the money on guns instead. I don't have to worry about driving or drunken stupers.
The Jap is the first japanese i will have. I would also like a Type 38 long rifle to go with it. If ammo is non existing then that is ok. If i get to shoot it then that would be nice. If not i will be fine there also. If anybody wants to give to the needy i will accept brass for it. Not even sure if there is dies for it but i am sure i can figure out something. I did do a search for ammo before buying and saw it was not around so not the motivating factor. Just a hole in the collection that needed attention and you big pocket guys would not let a mosin out.

Oh man, I had one of these I was gonna give you, but now I'll just keep it! Of course I am kidding. Merry Christmas.

But i asked you for the Dragoon though. My birthday is next month BD so i will still be accepting gifts till then at least. Merry Christmas to you also. And Steve this is my real and only one.
I did See that Broke. thanks I will use that on last resort though as they are at least 10 over what was. (i know).

That is a really nice Arisaka. I know you are running out of space so I will store it for you. Just want to do my part to help out this Christmas Season.

[desdem12]

Thanks Drew, but have a whole garage left to store stuff. Haven't touched the attic yet either.

[Longcolt44]

Mac's Guns, mrnambu, on Gunbroker has ammo. It's $1.45 per round shipped. I buy a lot of, "different", ammo from him.

[desdem12]

Will check that out, thanks LC!

I think he said once that that's where he keeps Bobo, his gorilla.

Garage is detached........
And is on the neighbors land....
Infact it is attached to the neighbors house...
Ya thats it ...My garage is attached to the neighbors house.

[Junk Yard Dog]

Do the neighbors keep anything good in there? They cookin shine in there? Got a , 59 Caddy up on blocks? Jimmy Hoffa marinating in a barrel of alcohol?

[evildog]

Nice carbine, is it possible to find dies to reload the ammo you do find. From the sounds of what a box cost it may be the cheaper way to go...
