Hard times come to one and all folks. I just replaced the clutch and flywheel on my preposterous bavarian automobile, marking the 6th, 7th and 8th grand I've spent on it this year. Repair bills must be paid and a new car must be found. Things that should not be sold, must be sold.
Make: ROF Enfield
Model: No.5 Jungle Carbine
Caliber: .303 British
Location (city or county): Bay Area - Willing to travel throughout to make a deal.
Price:$500 $450
Will ship (Y/N): Will ship at buyer's expense.
Other info: Got this off Aim Surplus with the last batch, it is an ROF (Enfield) made in 1945 - so just barely war-production if that is a concern for you. It is a bit rough, wood is chewed up a fair amount and its got a little cosmolene here and there. I decided to leave it in situ for some future collector to work on (laziness). I did shoot it and it does deserve its fairly fearsome reputation for recoil - hard petrified rubber buttpad doesn't do much to tame it down. Function is fine and it is very light and handy. No feeding issues with the PPU .303 I've been using. Comes with a proper Enfield sling not pictured here. More photos here: http://imgur.com/a/pTYn7#0
EDIT: The bore is ok, strong rifling with a fair amount of pitting, consistent with hard use.
Make: Walther (AC)
Model: G.43
Caliber: 8mm Mauser
Location (city or county): Bay Area - Willing to travel throughout to make a deal.
Price:$2250 - Removed from sale
Will ship (Y/N): No shipping just yet unless you want to pay a price premium.
Other info: A Walther G43 made in 1944. Fancy WWII German design, only produced for a handful of years during the most frenetic years of the Second World War. The rough machining marks on the receiver are characteristic of this, and quite uncharacteristic of German gun manufacturing in general. If you've read this far I assume you already know what a G43 is - so here's the details. This gun is all matching, including electro penciling on the bolt lugs, firing pin carrier and stock. I bought if off a fellow calguns user last year and installed an apfeltor shooter's kit in it not long after (this is a replacement gas piston and cylinder and a new set of springs - G43s run hot and can batter themselves to death without these modifications). The kit is a couple hundred and is included in the sale price. (The original parts are of course included as well). The rifle itself has a reproduction sight hood and buttplate on it. In addition, the matching stock has been drilled in two places for an American style sling. Otherwise it's pretty flawless. It did develop a habit of having a pin in the trigger group drift free on recoil so I shimmed that - the handguard retaining pin is also old and worn so I shimmed that too for extra strength. The handguard can still pop off if not watched under recoil but it's a fairly rare occurrence now. The scope and mount in the photograph are reproduction pieces as well and are included (although the scope is broken - just for looks). The gun also comes with an extra magazine (both aye coded and original) which is somewhere on the order of $250 as well. An original cleaning rod is also included although the block it threads into seems to have gone missing, so it is just for show as well. The sling on the gun appears to be an original and is included as well. Anyway - it is a very complete G43 for display purposes and a pretty complete G43 for collecting purposes and a totally complete G43 for shooting purposes. Rare guns, you know the rest blah blah this is a long paragraph. More photos, where you can hopefully see the matching numbers for yourself: http://imgur.com/a/R3ONt#51 (the ACW coded mag & pouch in those pics are both gone already)
Make: Ross Rifle Co.
Model: 1905 Mk. II
Caliber: .303 British
Location (city or county): Bay Area - Willing to travel throughout to make a deal.
Price:$850 - Removed from sale
Will ship (Y/N): No shipping just yet unless you want to pay a price premium.
Other info: Here's one you don't see everyday! Since that is the case, I'll indulge myself in a little bit of explanation. The Ross Rifle Company of Quebec Canada supplied a number of different variants of the Ross to Canadian Infantry during WWI. The Ross is a fine rifle, with fine sights and a nice straight pull action. It is not particularly well suited to mud, or grit or other hard scrabble battlefield conditions, and so it earned a rather unfortunate reputation. There's also the little matter of assembling the bolt incorrectly (impossible to do on a Mk. II like the one sold here) covered by forgotten weapons in their video on a Mk. III here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaSui_UqDX8&hd=1
The Ross is very long, and quite accurate with a fairly nice trigger. It has tiny little adjustable rear sights and a bevy of early WWI features that disappear prior to the Second World War. Things like magazine interrupts and superfluous swivels. This one has its front sight protector and is also US Property marked, indicating sale to the US, likely for use as a training rifle. The stock tells its own story, indicating which units it served with etc, along with a beautiful QUEBEC cartouche. This Ross, like many, is not without problems however. The chamber is either fouled or pitted in such a way that the weak extractor on the Ross cannot pull fired cases from it - a dowel must be used. I've ordered a new extractor from numrich and will have it installed prior to the deal - I doubt I'll have the chance to truly find out whether that solves the problem though. Either way, the gun does fire and is quite the historical curiosity, being made in 1909. If you're looking for that rare something your buddies have never heard of, a piece of interesting WWI history or trying to put the final touches on a US service weapons collection, then this is the gun for you.

Make: CMMG/Bushmaster
Model: M4A1 Clone
Caliber: 5.56
Location (city or county): Bay Area - Willing to travel throughout to make a deal.
Price:$950 Sold!
Will ship (Y/N): No shipping just yet unless you want to pay a price premium.
Other info: Because I'm kind of a nerd I made all my AR15s clones of various service weapons. This is my M4 (It has an ACOG on it right now but that is being sold separately). The Bushmaster upper is from the old pre-Freedom Arms Bushmaster and has proved quite accurate and reliable for me. It's a 1:9 twist 14.5" upper with a permanently attached YHM Phantom flash hider. It has a KAC rail on it and includes an LMT SOPMOD stock as pictured, as well as a Surefire G2 in a VTAC mount. The Vickers sling shown will also be included in the price. The lower itself has a Geisselle SSA trigger in it which is the best AR trigger I've had the chance to try so far. KAC Microsight BUIS also goes with. For an extra $300 I'll include the pictured EOTech XPS2-2 on its GG&G QD mount, unless it sells separately first. Will include picture 10/30rd magazine and pictured VFG. I can throw in a carry handle as well if you want it. More pictures in various incarnations here: http://imgur.com/a/FMUOq#0
Make: Zastava (Yugoslavia)
Model: M59 SKS
Caliber: 7.62x39
Location (city or county): Bay Area - Willing to travel throughout to make a deal.
Price:$350 Sold!
Will ship (Y/N): No shipping just yet unless you want to pay a price premium.
Other info: I bought this back in 2006 at Turners Outdoorsman. As far as my untrained eye can see, it is an original M59 and not the more common M59/66. As such, no grenade launcher. Like some (many?) Yugo SKS' it is not matching numbers, in fact no two numbers appear to match. Despite this, it is in fairly alright shape and is a fine shooter if you are trying to shoot steel plates at 100 yards for example. The wood is in good shape and it has mostly been de-cosmolined. Bluing is worn in spots but hey, its milsurp. Has a cleaning rod but no sling. Lack of matching numbers can be inspected here: http://imgur.com/a/e6j6O#0
Make: NDS/Colt
Model: M16A1 Clone
Caliber: 5.56
Location (city or county): Bay Area - Willing to travel throughout to make a deal.
Price:$950 Sold!
Will ship (Y/N): No shipping just yet unless you want to pay a price premium.
Other info: As far as I can tell, this is a real Colt upper (1:12 twist and everything) on a Nodak Spud A1 lower with a PSA LPK in it. The handguards came with the upper and are a bit loose. Some shimming with tape or the like would probably do the trick but they're shootable as is. The stock came from arfcom and it took me a long time to find one with rack numbers on it, which I think provide a nice dose of character. The A1 pistol grip also came from arfcom and is a somewhat rarer variant with a sling loop on it for some reason. The bore is old but not shot out. Also included is a Colt 4x scope that was practically NIB when I got it. I'm a sucker for optics, what can I say. (You can see how the gun currently looks here: http://i.imgur.com/oz2ESwO.jpg - nickle boron BCG not included - pictured 20rd mag also not included) Finally also also included is the USGI web sling which I think is not a repro but I am not a world class expert at slings.
