And save the brass. . .

all of the milsurp stuff is berdan primed and much is steel cased.  not very easy to reload berdan and i don't know anyone who can reload steel (but it can be recycled...)

brass stuff can be, but you still have the issue of popping the old primers and making/buying a berdan capper.

plus, most of the com-bloc milsurp smells like rotten cat ass.  i don't know what they use for powder or primer, but i would bet all of it is pretty nasty stuff, i.e. toxic.

I didn't think of that...

good point.

Even reloading the boxer stuff is chemical laden. ..

I wash my hands and face really well after I've been reloading or shooting.

Of course the guy that taught me to reload is in his 80's, never bought factory rounds for anything, cast his own since he was like 10, breathed all those fumes, shoots in his basement with crappy ventilation and he's not dead yet.

So what do I know?

good place for surplus ammo too
That place is awesome, Nate. Thanks for the heads up.  [thumbsup]

I'll put a scope in it (no drilling and tapping, just a easily removed weaver rail where the rear sight is) and go shoot the crap out of it. Needed a good bolt action, the thing is bulletproof and the price was right. We went out with my friends amd put holes in a manhole cover from 120yds out at our local state-provided outdoor range.

Kevin, All them chemicals is good for you, man.  [thumbsup]

I may buy some of the S&B Match stuff that is brass cased and boxer primed... just so I don't worry about the corrosive crap.

Not original, if by original you mean WWII German.

It does say "Original Mauser" on the top side of the toggle.

My dad bought it new in the early 1970s.  It was made by a company called interarms.  I think it was called the "American Eagle" model due to the engraved eagle crest.

Yes.  I know little about that model other than I've read that SEAL officers carried them in Vietnam and called the Hush Puppies (they were outfitted with silencers).

that's a customized version, the 39 is just a single stack 9 that S&W made.. BUNCH of people modded it, I've always wanted one just for S&G but (eek) I might just have too many to even remember if I have one or not.. LOL

I love J frame Smiths! They always work. I have a couple of hammerless model 640s with some trigger slick gunsmith work. They are my favorite winter jacket pocket gun. They will run in a jacket pocket when a small frame auto would possibly snag and jam. Don't even have to pull the J frame out of your coat pocket! Keep your hands in the pockets and the bad guy will be clueless. [thumbsup] [clap]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Beautiful piece, it was in fact Mauser production,

Interarms (International Armament Corp) was the Virginia-based small arms importing company,

it was run by an old ex-CIA employee/weapons specialist Sam Cummings

they also imported a Swiss Luger version.

Speaking of Luger-esque pistols, what's a nice Erma .22 worth these days?

I inherited one from my Dad, near mint. But I have a couple other .22s and have considered parting with it to put something larger in its place.

Picked this up today:

My wife picked it out since it will be her primary "protection" when I'm away.  She shot my Dad's Security Six (did some excellent patterns, especially for a novice shooter) and wanted something similar.  





Approved by her cat too:
