Like old guns? Not a lot of love for WWII guns on this site. I like new black guns. But they don't have the soul of the guns made for the Military's of the world. And used in WWII. Maybe because they had a purpose. And were used for it.
Sure an AR-15 can tear some stuff up. But an old M1 did! And a Glock is possibly the most evil looking and relible hand gun. But the luger ''Black Widow'' was the origonal black gun.
I admit I got all the new modern guns first. They as my love for all things gun grew I discovered old guns.
So you young guys out there. Get your AR,AK,FAL,HK-91,SCAR,M-4 Benelli,UZI,556, and other hi capacity guns. Then consider adopting an old work horse. [ O.K. The FAL and HK-91 are considered old farts now]. Don't get stuck thinking you are gona pay an arm and leg, and it's not worth it. Keep an eye open and you will find a deal. Sellers don't often get asking price. Make an offer and you will bring home guns. Not allways, but often. Just think. Many owners have inherited these guns and have little into them. And only a quick internet value in mind. So educate them and ask them to get back to you. Not saying to take advantage. Be fair. I've had men call me a month or more after I looked at there gun. They'll say nobody wanted to pay $1000, and those little marks on the stock didn't make the gun that special or worth what I hoped. So $500 sounded good. And don't forget the CMP. Not as hard to buy from as they used to be.
Here are some of the old guys hanging out. I don't shoot the pistols anymore. But do still shoot the long guns. 30 carbine is my favorite gun and have an ever growing number of these light handy rifle.
I prefer auto rifles. But still like and collect Bolt guns. After all most other countries had bolt guns as there standard issue rifles.
I'm allways selling and buying new old guns. Changing and geting better examples of guns is half the fun. Allso post WWII guns are old enough to make them interesting. So SKS, and the like are fun too.
So show your old soldiers. Tell us its story. Or just have a look at some of mine and let the love start to grow. You know you want one! You need one! Two.... Three....
