    EDIT -

    Based upon responses that I've gotten, I've decided that this isn't the best way to go about things. I may post some of them in the for sale area here eventually, or I may just figure out what I'm selling and put them on GB.

    Since I don't know what you have...

    FN-49, FR-8, MAS 49 or 49/56 in 7.5mm French, Russian SKS, any lever gun in .357 or .30-30, any Mausers especially Swedish and Argentine, any .308 bolt guns from any maker, AR-15 A2 uppers, parts or complete rifles, any length, any 9mm or .45ACP carbine.

    Happy to provide ID and show current CCW permits from several states, MD HQL and provide a copy of current FFL03 C&R for your records to prove non-prohibited status.

    If you have extra Lever guns in any centerfire caliber, I'll be interested.

    Also, any 357 or larger revolvers.

    I'm a fellow VA resident located in Arlington area if that helps

    I'm currently looking for semi-auto C&Rs, although I'll probably need to hold off on getting one for a "little" more money. That being said, I primarily collect Russian/Warsaw or Czech now and the right piece is worth something to me.

    Or a P-38/P-08 in good working order. Those are just cool.

    I should have been more specific, I guess. I've got some SKSs, but not Russian. Have one or two Sino-Albanians that I'll let go.

    I've also got several Argentine Mausers. I need to go through them to see which duplicates I have.

    I may have some things you'd be interested in. Let's take this to PM, okay? I'm not looking for more than current market value except for guns that are in especially nice condition.

    Preferably an MAB model D and M1935

    Damn Bill. Don't think MDS can handle 2 of us downsizing our collections at the same time.

    I'm considering trimming down my collection--especially the long guns--and so have decided to sell off some pieces. If there's anything you've been looking for, send me a pm. I'll see if I have duplicates. There won't be any "steals" to be had, but if I sell something, it will be in the ballpark of what comparable pieces have actually gone for on places like GB.

    Unless we work something else out, all transfers will take place in Virginia, preferably on the South side of the Hwy. 301 bridge. Also, I will insist on getting identification from any and all buyers. I'm going to cover my butt, since I'm listed as the last buyer on most of these.


    QUITTERS!!! Both of ya!!



    :D;)

    I'd be interested in an Albanian and an Argentine or two. Especially cavalry carbines but full rifles are fine. Leave some for others to enjoy as well.

    Send me a pm and I'll go through and see what I've got. I don't have an Albanian anymore, but I've got a couple of early Chinese SKSs that went through Albania before being imported to the U.S.
