Samco going under?

[Nevada Hudson]

Yeah, what is "special select" with cracked stock?

[microwaveguy]

I am thinking about 2mil will buy all of this and the floor sweepings.

I don't think my AMEX card is good for that amount.

Need to have everyone stand on a corner this weekend with a sign that states
"Need money for group buy "

[emcon5]

Hopefully a more reasonable company buys it all. Samco had some of the most asinine policies.

Edit: Anyone else look at the 475 page inventory list? I will take all 13 Hakims please.

Holy crap, they have like 8000 of those crappy 1916 .30 cal Spanish Mausers.

1903 Springfield, serial number 46.

WTF is a Loewe 95/12/61? Chilean Mauser 95 maybe?
Looks like there are some Finn Mosins, including some Remingtons and NEWs. Kind of funny the "1891" page has both Mausers and Mosins listed.

Holy crap again, there are a 22 Swede M94s, and there are still 142 M41B.

There are also a couple hundred "Loewe Berlin 1894" I assume those are Brazilian, but they could also be swedes.

About 1200 Yugo SKS, a couple hundred CZ52s,

Holy crap part 3, they have been sitting on ~250 USGI M1 Carbines since 1986.

On Edit: Damn, they have four Remington 1934s.

[rdfact]

^^^ I looked through that list too. The Swedes and the M1 Carbines peaked my interest.

[81turbota]

Lots of awesome stuff!

Did anyone notice the pages of 98/29 Mausers? Those are the Persians!!

[knucklehead0202]

I've got pretty good credit. Wonder if they'd give me a small business loan for +/- $2 million. Of course I'd sell some to you guys. Probably have a big scrooge mcduckian vault full of the rest to swim around in...

8 Colt Pythons

[empirearms]

mostly floor-sweepings that SAMCO couldn't sell . . .

I have seen this stuff. . . lots and LOTS of broken stocks and pieces-parts, and we would have ZERO interest in the Turkish shotguns, crappy badly-stored ammo (think Miami heat & humidity with zero air conditioning), and a kajillion rustbucket gun parts and whatnot. Perfect for SARCO or somebody, but not us.
. .
The bids are only considered for the entire lot.

My notes in red below. . .

Actually more than that. . . no interest!

1903 Springfield, serial number 46.

WTF is a Loewe 95/12/61? Chilean Mauser 95 maybe?

Chilean Model 1895 with the 1961 rechambering to 7.62 Nato

Looks like there are some Finn Mosins, including some Remingtons and NEWs.

Correct . . . of course those are Finn-captured Russians.

Kind of funny the "1891" page has both Mausers and Mosins listed.

Holy crap again, there are a 22 Swede M94s

Those were demilled with the barrels filled with molten lead.

and there are still 142 M41B.

Yes, but without the scopes, and most are missing the lower mounts as well.

There are also a couple hundred "Loewe Berlin 1894" I assume those are Brazilian, but they could also be swedes.

Brazilians (in 7mm) mot Swedes.

About 1200 Yugo SKS


In bottom of the barrel condition.

, a couple hundred CZ52s,

Those are vz52's (the most raggedy ones I have ever seen or could imagine) chambered in 7.62x45.

Holy crap part 3, they have been sitting on ~250 USGI M1 Carbines since 1986.


Yes, there were imported from Israel (along with M1D Garand snipers) back in 1986. Most of those are really rough, and if you pay attention a large number of the carbines are Iver Johnson, Plainfield and Universal manufacture, not USGI.

On Edit: Damn, they have four Remington 1934s.


Those are Model of 1917 "Enfield" rifles that were sporterized.

[emcon5]

Thanks for the Update Dennis.

[huntingsocal]

Yes, thanks Dennis, I think we can all sleep a little better now

Sounds like some larger C&R/gun reseller that will remain nameless is about to get a 'last chance' cache of 'very good' condition rifles.

[pterrell]

Thanks for the info Dennis. I figured you'd be all over checking this out. If there were any gems to be had, you'd find them.

[Nevada Hudson]

I trust Dennis's judgement.

[knucklehead0202]

Damn it! There was something I've been meaning to order from them for about a year and never did. Think it was 6.5 Swedish training ammo in bulk. Now I'm hosed on that...

[joefrank64k]

Dennis, thanks for chiming in. If you think it's a lot of crap, then it is crap.
