We just had our Missouri Valley Collector gun show here in KC over the weekend. Never disappoints. Each year I attend I always find something. This year I walked away with these 2 p38's.. Not entirely good deals but also, not easy to find guns. First up is the Mauser 42.

Multiple posts on cleaning stocks I know. My question is, how far does one go? I bought this all matching minus the safety. Bought it on a gamble that the stocked matched. Noticed it was a dot stock so I went ahead and bought it without taking it apart. I ended up removing most of the...

I was finally able to get a missing piece in my p38 collection this past weekend at the Missouri valley arms show. Helped with the price by trading a byf44 from my collection. Saw several french svw45's and not many of the German production. Seller did have another but was not in the best of...

Picked this up an auction recently. To be honest I'm not very knowledgeable on these. Have wanted one for awhile and seem hard to find. Assuming re-arsenal in 1952? Came with bayonet as well. No import marking that ive seen. Have not taken gun completely apart. If there is something you...

Just curious if anyone saw this auction and picked up anything. https://bid.redfieldgroup.com/auctions/catalog/id/34805

Picked this one up recently at the Tulsa show from a fellow member. Wasn’t on my list of things to look for but glad I found it. Has minor pitting under the stock and from what I understand the Portuguese didn’t store these very well. Also came with a port. non matching bayonet. Now I guess I...

I would just like some opinions before I bid on a sportarized mostly matching G98/40 at a local auction. The gun is missing the front band and will need a new stock. Opinions on: Is it even worth it to pick up? If so, what would a going rate for this be? Ive scoured the internet for most of...

Seems like you can go months without seeing much or missing the deals. Here are a few I've recently acquired through this forum and another. The femaru was just found yesterday at a local pawn shop for what I thought was a very reasonable price. First up is the Hi Power I bought off here.

Hi all. I'd like some opinions on this local k43 and an approximate value. I know its not matching. Thanks for the help.

I’m not around any of my reading materials at the moment . I want to know if there are depots where a p38 may have an unmarked barrel from a different maker?

Pick this up at a local gun show. Always wanted one and this appears to be a good example. From what I take this is the second variation. Would this be a commercial piece?

I was contacted today to buy this bcd along with a 03a3 today. Looked good per the books. Thoughts appreciated.

If a guy were to buy a torch cut or saw cut STG44, how would they go about restoring it? Without all the paperwork for a full auto what would you need to turn it into a semi auto? Is there still a bunch of paperwork to fill out for something like that? Thanks.

Just wanted to get an opinion. I know posselt grips were only on spreewerk p38's only but have the chance to purchase an all matching ac43. Supposedly a vet bring back that was purchased years ago at a vet auction. Only thing is that it has the posselt grips. Would a GI put these on or would...

Picked this up at an auction and thought from the pictures it looked good. Not a whole lot of description on it. After getting it today i'm wondering if it has been reblued. After carefully looking at it i'm now questioning if this is a very nice example. After taking the grips off the...

I guess I have some concerns on this one. What are you thoughts? Good to go or pass

Afternoon fellas, I'm looking to start collecting some helmets, M35's M40's and M42's. I'd like to know what are some reputable sites out there that the experienced collectors would advise to either look at or not look at.

Hi all. Just bought this from the gunboards forum. Seller sent pictures and I thought all looked good. He didn't know much about these as he was selling for family friend. I knew going into the purchase the barrel, from what i was told was new old stock? I have been trying to do as much...

Just curious what a decent P38 holster should run. Looking for one for my 43. Ive been looking at the hardshells. Preferably brown leather. I know there are rare makers out there that can run high but i'm just looking at a run of the mill. Also, is a eue a rare maker?

Looking to get rid of a couple P38's. Just wanted to see what guys thought they might be worth. 1944 cyq all matching with jvd magazine and black molded grips. Good shiny bore 1945 svw "Gray Ghost" matching 2 mags. Good shiny bore
