Today is Black Friday and my local stores aren’t really doing any crazy good deals. Some are mom and pop shops and others are big retailers.
Aim surplus is also great!
Great video. Many familiar, but good leeds too. You ever heard of Gibbs Manufacturing? Not 100% on that name, but they made wannabe jungle carbine reproductions in .308. Would you be interested in one of those until your jungle shows up?
I bought Nagant’s for $17, Arisaka’s for $15, and Mausers for $19, not buying anything until the prices get back to that level
Great list. I’ve been on Atlantic Firearms’ email list for a while, too. They have *fantastic* customer service and are incredibly fast with response to questions you email them. Very knowledgeable people working there and their prices are pretty good, considering the times we’re in now. I’ll definitely have to check out the others. Thanks for the video! Good information to put out.
Good anaylsis, spot on.
Good info son! 👍
Atlantic is great. Got a makarov from them recently and a vz58 sometime last year. Axis arms is awesome too. Bought an arisaka and and Argentine engineers carbine from him.
any thing on night vision
There are no milsurps anymore. Everything is a collectible.
400$ for sks give me a break. I remember when nice ones went for 89 bucks
Today with high mil surp prices and ammo being in the same boat you’re better off just buyin an extra cheap PSA/BCA AR imo.
Unless your a collector, I don’t think milsurps are worth the price these days. I think the availability and modularity of modern firearms are a much better bang for ones buck. However, it is cool to own a piece of history.
gonna be trying to score alot of vietnam era or clone larp stuff this year for black friday. definitely gonna grab a brownells colt carry handle scope this year for my 604
4 or 5 years ago I bought a Cobra denali 380 pistol sale price and rebate got it for $86. Shoots every time I pull the trigger. Kicking myself for only buying one
Why talk about 2010???? Yes we see you got a great deal 12 years ago and your talking about what sites offer has nothing to do with Black Friday deals
FYI. Just received an email from Edelweiss Arms regarding a 15% off Black Friday promo code good thru November 30th.
Other than sounding like you’re 12, video was informative. Thanks!
My brother has an old military rifle that he says is .308/7.62×51 but there are no markings on it, nothing.
Nothing has been ground off, no markings were apparently ever there. He has shot .308 out of it but I don’t want to do any thing with it until I know what it is.? 🤔🍻
BTW it is bolt action
Mid- to late-90s was truly the milsurp golden age, with the iron curtain collapse and everything hitting the market (and no import bans). MAS 49/56 brand new unissued with all accessories for $300, $99 Chinese SKSs, $159 Russian SKSs, $99 Makarovs, $130 high capacity Makarovs, $39 Finnish octagonal receiver Mosins, $100 CZ-52s, the list goes on.
I remember seeing surplus rifles (mosin-nagant) being sold, that were missing parts, wood dry rotted, and unsafe for anyone other than an expert gunsmith to handle!!! Buyer beware some surplus firearms require restoration before use, and all need to be inspected for safety! You shouldn’t expect to take it to the Range the day it arrives…
… using a teleprompter ?
My first gun was my k98 I paid less than 100 I don’t think I can beat that these days
ᎮᏒᎧᎷᎧᏕᎷ 🤣
There are no milsurp deals
Yeah some of these will send you junk at full crazy price on a normal day! Imagine what you’ll get on a Black Friday “deal day” 😂
In the 80’s I could get sks’s for 35.00 each. Got a 75 rd drum for AK for 25.00
Just bought 18 Carcanos from RTI at $150 each shipped and am pretty happy overall. This batch came from Italy so they’re in better condition than the ones from Africa. Really hoping to pick up an SKS for a decent price on a black Friday sale this year. Anyone have any experience with Black Market Arms? They have them for $450 right now.
Atlantic is good stuff
Great Job and thanks for the heads up on these sites. I will check them out .Your a natural kid!
I have watched a few of your videos in the past, but today I decided to subscribe to your channel. I had a very bad experience with Classic Firearms, and it wasn’t even with a Milsurp Firearm. As for their Milsurp Firearms, I read the reviews first, and I’m read way to many negative reviews as well as friends who’ve received Junk from them and were offered a small precent off if they kept the purchase. Yeah, they have so many that it would be impossible to photograph each firearm so a buyer could make their own choice. But even if that were possible, sometimes its hard to capture a good image of a firearms bore. I wouldn’t Ever Buy a Milsurp from Classic, Period!!!!!
As for RTI, I was interested in one of their Enfield N05 Jungle Carbines, but they don’t have matching Bolts which can be a big issue when purchasing an Enfield Rifle. RTI doesn’t have that many N05’s in stock that they should take the time to photograph each one so a buyer can choose one. So, I searched online for a N05 and I found a Great Deal on a numbers matching in very good condition at Guns International. After S&H and FFL fees it was still a bit under $700. I gave the bore a very quick cleaning, and it is amazing!!! Get this, all the external metal parts are painted green. This is original to this No5 because under the hand grip and what’s hidden by the stock the green paint looks like new as if I had painted it the day I disassembled it so I could give the stock a good cleaning. The exposed gun barrel and receiver the green paint is dull and has chips from use one of the British Jungle campaigns. It was made in 1945 at the BSA factory.
So, sometimes you even have to check the firearm auctions that many people shy away from.
The reason I got my N05 sooooooo cheap was the sellers images were dark and a few were a bit out of focus. I asked a few questions and I found out the Seller was 84 years old and this was the last of his firearms collection. So, never be afraid to ask questions because I asked for an image that showed the serial number on the bolt, and I got what I asked for.
Good Luck looking for great deals, they can be found in the least expected places.
Aimsurplus is an awesome company!
About 25 years ago i got 3 m1 c for 90 dollars each and still have them
I’ve heard a lot of bad reviews on Buds. Mostly just when they fuck shit up. Horrible customer service.
Best Black Friday deal I ever got was a Taurus G2 9mm for 199.00 and tax
I really struggle with surplus rifles. I regret not buying a ton back in the day. I just can’t seem to bring myself to spend $899 for a rifle that used to be $150 or less. I have been wanting a K31. What are your thoughts on this rifle? Or maybe a better option for a first surplus rifle that is still reasonably priced?
Check out Simpson Ltd. in Galesburg, IL….no bulk lots, but individual pieces from private collections. Prices seem fair to me.
Best Milsurp if you can find them is the FN49. Most in 8mm Mauser but the rare 30.06 is great if you can find em.
Thanks lots of new book marks
I recently bought a Carcano cavalry from Classic Firearms for $199 and I’m very happy with the condition of the rifle. There is no major damage of any kind, just the usual light dings and dents on the stock and it had some very light surface rust on the action that came right off with some CLP and light scrubbing. 10 out of 10, would recommend!
Gunparts Corps in West Hurley used to be a great source for parts when you needed them. That is until the vultures swooped in and bought up the hard-to-find parts and turned around to sell them on Gunbonker and Epay. They buy them from Numrich/Gunparts Corps and mark them up 3x, then pretend they’re doing you a favor.
Came here for bargains, got a guy telling me how good it USED TO BE. Doesn’t help me at all. His first website has 650 dollar shitty type 56 sks. Palmetto state was doing 450…… no disrespect
I love the comments ppl saying "I paid X amount back in the 90’s " or whatever. But how much did a combo meal at McDonalds cost? Maybe $3.50? What’s one cost now? Not a penny under $10. A hundred bucks in the 90’s was alot of money, especially if you were young and broke.
My shooting buddy has a K31, made in !937 w/all matching ## walnut stock..99% cond. he want to sell. Who could apraise it, any ideas?
Back in the early 90’s my local Gun Shop had a case of German Mausers from WWII . The owner told me I could go through the case and grab any I wanted for $50.00 each . Being stupid I passed . Back then they were no big deal . No w MilSurp has gone the way of collector cars . Too many scammers selling junk . Overblown prices , and too many greedy people . I’m out .
700 bucks man I’d rather buy an AR 15 for that price than an old ass Chinese SKS
Great job! My first view of your video’s. I enjoyed not only the material you covered but your presentation style. Thanks again.
Exec summary: [NB: video is worth the time spent; don’t use this to skip watching! This summary is just to save other from having to pause & take notes!]
#1 – J&G Sales
#2 – Axis Arms [never heard of this one before; I’ll have to check it out.]
#3 – Centerfire Systems
#4 – Atlantic Firearms [more of a "nifty accessories" vendor in my personal experience, altho’ they’ve had good gun deals in the past that were unfortunately locked out for me due to my residing behind the Granola Curtain. Also had stocking issues since COVID; hopefully they’ll be able to get back on a normal footing again now that life is returning to normal…]
#5 – DK Firearms [another one I’ve never heard of before.]
#6 – BUDS guns [NB: well-known and popular vendor with inventory that turns over quickly.]
#7 – Classic Firearms [High priced hucksters. They may be your only option at times, but usually you can find the same gun elsewhere for a substantial savings. If they offer a special sale, that may bring the price down to their competitors’ regular prices. Unfortunately, they seem to be the primary buyer of SAMCO Global’s inventory from that company’s dissolution a few years ago, so they became a "market maker" and are responsible in no small degree for today’s high milsurp prices, from what I can tell.]
#8 – AIM Surplus [Good source for ammo in uncommon chamberings. Unfortunately for me, the PRK mandate that all ammo go thru FFLs that went into effect a few years ago has shut down all my online ammo purchases. Looking forward to moving to Free America soon and going back to buying ammo for less and having it shipped direct!]
#9 – Edelweiss Arms [Key source for Swiss firearms. Nothing is cheap, but deliver good value.]
#10 – Royal Tiger Imports [Guns are rough, RUFF! from poor storage and hard use, but bargains can be had. Caveat emptor!]
While living in AZ I went to a gun show in around 1997 or so. Picked up an SKS from J&G for $89.99. Just like yours.
Last year a local shop in Houston does 20 percent off everything in the store and they have hundreds of in stock milsurp
