Hi, folks. I'm gonna be going to an auction this Friday with my dad and Bro-in-law.  They've got a lot of old military rifles up for sale. I've been able to identify some of the easy ones like Mosin-Nagants, Garands, M-1 carbines, etc., but they have several I can't readily identify from the pics. I thought you might find it fun to look at 'em and see if there's anything particularly interesting/unusual. Here's the link: http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/photopanel.cgi?listingid=831196&feed=1Please post any interesting identifications!  |

You might like the Maadi Misr if it goes for under $400. It's a nice AK.

Well, according to this site (which I've been to before, but had forgotten about  ), it's a fake (replica). That changes the value from tens of thousands to hundreds of dollars. It'll be interesting to look at, at least.  |

To any and all - the Mauser carbine was definitely a fake/replica - a nice looking one - that sold for $375 with the case - I will be posting results of the auction later - it made us wish we had lots of money (you will see why when I post the results) which we did not have, but we (three of us went) each bought one gun.

Thanks for the recommendation. I got it for a $320 bid.  That meant $370 with buyer's premium and tax. It was dirty, but cleaned up nicely. I'm pleased. |

Hey, congratulations on the MM! That's a really well thought of AK47. Here's a page of Maadi info: http://www.ak-47.us/Egypt.php How about some pix and range report, when you have the time? |

Thanks, Preacherman. I actually looked at that site prior to going to the auction.  I figured that since it was made on original Russian machines, it'd be about the best I could get. I also suppose, based on reading, that it's actually an AKM, rather than an AK47. I probably won't get a chance to try it out for a while, though. My time is pretty short this visit.  I MAY be able to squeeze in one more range visit, but it's doubtful... Maybe the next time I'm in-country. |
