How is the milsurp market these days?

Pawn Express in LaGrange has a Spanish Ruby for 189. Looks like an old refinish but if you're wanting one of those in "shooting" condition, it's pretty nice for what it is and at current Ruby prices on Gunbroker. Marked 1914 "Military", it's a post-war model with no French military markings, so nothing special but I'd buy it if I really wanted another one.

Did have some play in the slide and barrel, but that's typical of Ruby pistols. Not like they were made to the tightest tolerances.

I'm waiting for a really hot day to drag a bunch of rifles out. Easiest way to get the cosmoline out. The wife said she'd help me do inventory though.

I have a very nice CZ 50 that I am going to sell. I have owned it for over 25 years. It is a rare cold war piece.

Centerfire has a lot of old bolt action rifles listed.
Check out the others also. Here is a ratty one:

1916 Spanish Mauser 7x57mm Bolt Action - Fair to Good Condition

Bought one of these at the last swap meet with a 7.62x39 adapter.

Still haven't shot it...

The CMP is selling 308 specials for $1,030.wowza. I should have bought a Winchester special when I was at the creedmoor shop last year.

With CMP getting less and less of these in it will only keep creeping up.
In 2009 I bought a CMP Service Grade Special Mostly All Original Barrel and receiver and most parts (still have it) for 795.00
A far cry from prices today
In 2007 I picked up a Rack Grade That should have been a Service grade for 490.00 so that should tell you how prices are moving up.

Garands will continue to climb in price. Wait till the overseas M1's show up. Lots of interesting parts to go through and build complete rifles. Prices will stay high.

My finest example of a M1 Garand. Almost correct 1955 HRA.
