Bought a new old gun today
My mom told me someone on her block was selling guns at his garage sale today so on my lunch break I went over there and came home with a Remington Model 8 rifle in 35 Remington for 200 bucks. I dont think I did too bad on it. He had a Gewehr 88 Commission Rifle from 1891 that I would have bought, but some bubba had chopped the original stock down and fitted a ugly ass recoil pad on it.
He also had a Savage 99 in 22 Hi Power, a couple Hopkins and Allen 32 S&W wheel guns, and a Remington 11-48 410 Autoloader.
The wife has my camera so pics will follow.
The Italians have a saying. "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." And although they've never won a war or mass-produced a decent car, in this area they are correct.

completely unrelated, what's the phonetic for Gewehr?

Guh-Vehr is how its pronounced. The W in German is pronounced like a V.
I am considering trying to buy that one cheap from him. Its been converted to .323 8mm Mauser from the original .318 bore and is converted to an internal mag instead of the mannlicher clip system. Had some turk marks on the bolt as well so it most likely saw action in the Great War. It needs only a new donor stock and a buttplate to get it back to original

Yeah its nice to still like in America where a guy can do that. I reccomended that he require a permit to carry or a permit to buy pistols to verify that they are legal to buy a gun and keep his ass in the clear.
He sold the Savage 99 for 200 bucks.

I was digging around and apparently the peep rear tang sight is hard to come by and worth about 150 bucks in good shape.

Wow... I knew California had some strict rules, but I didn't realize they had banned face to face (FTF) sales.

That Savage 99 is going for around $600 or so around here in Nebraska. Get the peep tang for it.
And I've wanted a Remington Model 8 in .35 Remington for many, many winters...
