truly spot on information
Very kind of you!
One thing I try to show people wanting to get into milsurp rifles, dont shy away from bubbas. Entry level collecting is usually someone who wants to shoot more than collect. With that, for pennies on the dollar, and some hard work, you can get a good shooter and a good idea where you want to collect. I got a complete M1917 bubba on GB for $100. It had a badly cracked sporter stock, and sights ground off. After putting a pic rail, yeah I know, and a good boyds stock. With that I have a solid 30-06 shooter, all the feel of a $1000 + collectable.
I've said it in the past, if you want a shooter, buying a bubba or sporter isn't the worst thing in the world. My chief objection, though, is your just buying a rifle at that point. You don't get the sense of what shooting that rifle truly is.
But I'm a doctrinaire a##&*~e so you shouldn't be surprised by my saying that, ha ha
@@TheRedneckPreppy Im also not heading to France anytime soon to dig trenches, I actually dont like shooting my "collector" rifles. I think they are truly investments. But I got into the world of milsurps to shoot. The original rifles are much better left at home to keep their value, and you can get a pretty good idea of how they felt in the good old wars of decades past. Over the years I have enjoyed all kinds of milsurps, but my eyes are getting fuzzy and open sights are tiny. I like a good scope on a rifle, and I like milsurps too. So I find good bubbas to scope and enjoy. I like both sides, but in the end, I like shooting more than collecting
@@TheRedneckPreppy At least, I HOPE Im not going to France any time soon......
Some interesting advice here. Unfortunatley I wasn't able to get as much as I wanted twenty years ago when I found out about milsurps and started my journey. Now I'm pretty much at the tail end of it all and most everything has dried up and I only have a small sampling. I agree with the auction house point but unfortunately that also applies to gunshows, gunshops, honestly everywhere you can find these things nowdays. I have two mauser Projects I'm embarking on. One a Czech 98/22 where I have a stock and hope to be able to assemble the components for the rest of it one day. The other one is an Erfurt 1917 Kar98az. I have the reciever and barrel from a Bubba'd sporter project I inherited. That one will be difficult.
Well I wish you the best of luck with those projects!
And like you I didn't manage to get all that I wanted before the market went to heck. Ah well!
When I was new to this, I got suckered into buying from sweaty Ben a spitshined k98 "All Matching" they said (looks "un-issued" they said) pretty much a Mitchells humped k98, which i didn't know at that time. When I got it, fkng thing was counterbored and the bolt looked forced match (different waffenamt from the rest). I regretted that purchase at that time. But looking at it now, i guess i am content with that purchase since the damn thing is a good shooter and the price have finally caught up to what I can shed it for.
It's funny how someone can buy a piece of crap and eventually the market will eventually catch up and reward them for it, ha ha
Informative, entertaining and concise. Thank you for sharing.
Very kind of you to watch and comment!
