Which would you keep?

[nrakid88]

Some guy just conned my mom out of some money, and I feel guilty for it, so I am going to part ways with a few guns to pay her for what she lost, and then buy myself something. I have a Swiss K31, Yugo Mauser 24/47, enfield no 4 mk I. I kinda want to keep one. But Maybe I will part with all three so I can have a .22 conversion for my ar for this winter break. Which one do you think you'd keep?

[Jack Straw from Wichita]

K31: the most accurate of the three.

I'd say keep the K31...

I think those are going to keep going up in value as time goes on...

That's just my opinion, though...

[nrakid88]

Hmm... thanks, but the ammo is a PITA to find... not really, if you count the internet. I will think about it

[Hopi]

keep the K-31....I don't know, there's just something about those babies...

[Fate]

Well you *could* use one of them and go get your mom's money back... (kidding, kidding!)

Ammo issues (availability/price/etc) made me sell several milsurps in the past. Personally, I'd sell all of them.

If you need to sell - All of them are replaceable - That said, keep the one with the cheapest ammo so you can still have fun -

[SDgarrick]

24/47's are still widely available, and easy to replace, that being said, it will be difficult to make an real money off of it. Maybe $150, more if you have ammo. The Enfield and K31 will command more money, but be more difficult to replace in the future. I would keep the K31, but fiscally speaking, it might be smarter to keep the 24/47 since all three go boom and you will gain the least by letting go of that one.


was the con legal? maybe you can creative...
Good luck

[nrakid88]

It was legal... or maybe not. He sold her some knock off electronics... Oh well. Lesson learned. I have a bit of ammo for two of the guns. I think I might get rid of all three and then after I am done with college I can get back in the collecting game. I have an Ar, 30-06, and some other goodies so selling these wont mean less range time, it might mean more.

Haha, on a side note I think its a good thing I didnt catch that guy when I was looking for him, I was in such a rage i woulda kicked his skkull in and ate his salty guts without even thinking about it... haha.

[nrakid88]

If any of you are interested I will probably have a sale thread up soon.

I really feel sorry for the younger collectors, the ones who came of age in the last 5 years or so. They don't have the opportunities we had to buy cheap surplus off the boat and Finnish assault rifles.
