DrB Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Was looking at the places I used to buy from. Noticed that SOG is gone as long as Samco. Bought some surplus from these folks through the years. With the surplus firearms drying up, who is left? I had an 03 but seems now not much use anymore.

blueiron Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Most surplus weapons go straight to the industrial shredders now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minervadoe Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I was spoiled by the availability of post WWII stuff when I was growing up. The prices used to be really cheap. I never had much interest, but a friend of mine had a nice collection that included the usual Mauser 98s, Lee Enfields, broom handle Mauser converted to 9mm, and even an old single shot Martini Henry. When I finally had the money to spend on this sort of memorabilia, I had fallen out of touch with this guy, So I got discouraged because I had learned that the quality was usually directly linked to the distributor. So, if you guys are saying that the known good distributors closed up shop, it becomes a more expensive proposition to put a toe in the water, so to speak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I didn't see the need when prices were so low and the quantities seemed endless. Then it was, "Well, maybe tomorrow. There is always tomorrow". Now tomorrow has come and gone. It's a hard lesson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the places like Southern Ohio Gun have gone bye. At hre time some call them "Sorry Old Guns" I bought a lot from them. Try getting those deals today, good luck. They lost out, I did buy.
