Roseville Gun Show

[Paulie Lugnuts]

Just got back. There were quite a few C+Rs there. Lots of Mausers, MN91/30s and several Lee Enfields. Ended up buying this one,


Its a 1945 Jungle Carbine. Woods is dark, but no major dings. The metal is nice, no rust and the bore is really clean.

Nice! They kick harder than a mosin carbine

There a neat looking gun. Should be a fun little shooter.

So have to ask what did you get her for.

[mosinnagantm9130]

lol I was there too, I fondled that jungle carbine for a little while!

There were a ton of turk mausers there.

[Paulie Lugnuts]

You're right there were a lot of Turkish Mausers. The guy I bought the LE from said he's an importer and he buys the guns in shipments based on weight.
I heard they kick pretty hard also. The butt plate is mostly rubber, so maybe that will help. Ofcourse it 66 years old rubber, so not much help.
I paid $400 for it. That was as low as I could get him to go. I think that's a decent price for the condition.
I told my wife this is my birthday present since I turn 53 tomorrow, so she wouldn't give me a hard time about adding to the arsenal.

Stopped going to gunshows after going to Cal Expo about 10 years ago not pying 20+ bucks for parking and tickets to see 3 rows of crap /shrug.

Paul and Bruce, Missed a great match today at Sac Valley....though, I have to admit, that's a pretty nice carbine.

Going tomorrow hope you guys left me something.

That was Marty. I met him... So did my wallet!

[pro-nra]

I went to the show after Bob and I's disastrous showing at Sac Valley match hoping to find something good that I can feel good about as I sucked the match today. Well I came home with just $10 short of what I took to the show. It sucked for me. Heading to Reno tomorrow.

Would have loved to attend. I hate it when all that personal responsibility stuff gets in the way of shooting....

He only got to meet my money clip & cell phone.

Ooo, trying to console yourself w/ a shopping spree? We might have to get you into a 12 step program..Intervention?
Hope you find something nice in Reno!
