    MilSurp

    Well, it's Monday. What better way than to start it off with some MilSurp.



    Shoutout to the most dstrb'ed of medics; he may in fact like MilSurp more than myself.

    Probably that's because that's all you two can afford.

    Don't be stealing my saying. Get your own. And the Garand is a sexy weapon.

    All good. Hmm, I'm not sure for that large of a date separation. I believe a couple months difference between barrel and receiver date would be considered "correct,"
    not sure about that far apart. I'll get back to you on that.

    M44 is on my want list. Have had the 91/30 pictured above for a while now .... though, not sure which I want more, M44 or 91/59 ... leaning towards 91/59 to be honest.

    Had a line on a mint M44 a few weeks ago, messed up and lost my chance.

    I'd argue something that was US or other govt property, so technically some ARs would be fair game. Although maybe it should be C&R, too.

    Hmmm - good question, I never really thought of that.

    Me personally, I wouldn't just limit Milsurp to just US Property.

    gator - what AR's are you speaking of?

    Hmmm - I guess we could say nothing antique (ie: before 1900) and nothing after the 60's/70's or so.

    That's why I said "other" governments, like Krags, Swiss, etc. But still, ultimately if it's "military surplus," then it should probably have belonged to a government at some point.

    As for ARs, there's plenty of "Property of US GOVERNMENT" stamped M16s, but they're not C&R yet, so that's why I clarified that maybe they should be C&R. I don't care either way, but just putting it out there.

    Ohh - my bad. Didn't even associate other with other countries. Was thinking other [US] govt property.

    And sure - valid point. I've got no qualms with that.

    These have appeared in other threads, but here are the guns older than my parents...

    '43 Inland Service Grade M1 Carbine


    CMP Special Grade M1D


    CMP Field Grade M1D


    Have a few others on my want list, and fortunately HH6 doesn't give me a hard time about vintage guns (well, not as much of a hard time anyway)...
