Hey everyone who's reading this while polishing their latest gun-buy, what is the next Surplus Gun on the market?
I'm talking along the lines of Mausers (mauser actions), Star BM Pistols, AK build Kits, etc.
The only ones that are cheap are the new ones that come out. The Star BM pistols are already $100+ above their original price. AK's are fawghetaboutit, and Mosin Nagants...are actually expensive now.
Plus I can't find any parts for various surplus weapons, so now that I've run out of gun-building projects, I'm back to square one.
What do you think is the next surplus gun?
M16's.
Lemme tell you about the government.
It took an act of congress to get a few 1911's released from the giant stockpile the Gov still has. It was lobbied against, HARD. No collector wants any new guns coming on to the market and collectors have deep pockets and rub wallets with politicians.
Secondly, any GOV weapon that was ever capable of automatic fire will NEVER be sold to the public. Any parts that touched bullets will NEVER be sold to the public, all parts and receivers will NEVER make it past a shredder.
I've tried time and time again, it's no use. Even the buffers and springs get shredded. I can buy scrap shreddings, but not parts.
Current "M16 Parts Kits" are from years ago before the shredder requirement.
I've busted my tail time and time again trying to buy this stuff, it's impossible.
That's so sad. I'd pay an arm and a leg for an Army surplus A2 or A3.
