Tripped over this today

[Slab]

and it just HAD to come home with me. The salesman was less than excited to sell me anything. needless to say I was glad to let him get back to changing displays.

 

[Scutter01]

Beautiful wood! Details? Mind if I ask what you paid? Where'd you find it?

 

[Slab]

I personally blame you and your group shoot for me buying these things!!!

I held a nice 91/59 PACKED in cosmo as well, but i decided i couldnt break down for both.

 

[Bronsonbull]

very nice

 

[Interloper]

Wow, that looks great. As Scutter01 asked, can you share details like where and how much? Thanks!

 

[VanillaThunder]

very nice!!

since you're near Ft Wayne, can i assume it's a local pick up?

 

[Slab]

got it at dunhams in auburn.

 

[VanillaThunder]

makes sense, the salesman not wanting to help you. i get the same thing there, and the Dunhams in Warsaw.

what did you pay for your beauty? what were they asking for the 91/59?

 

[Slab]

lol $135

I LOVE the mgr at the wabash store. she is very helpful and glad to help.

the 91/59 was listed at 199, but i think it's 15% off like my 91/30 was.

 

[Scutter01]

Dang, I'd love a 91/59 I just don't have $200 right now.

 

[Slab]

like i said it was slathered in cosmo, so it would be some work to even cycle the action without serious cleaning.

so its in perfect shape

Glad to hear your car problems didn't turn out to be anything serious.

I still havent figured it out. i can drive about an hour and then it overheats and i have to leave it sit for about 30 min to cool down.

Bad thermostat? $10 part and 10 minutes to fix.

 

[Slab]

changed it. before last weekend. still having issues. im onto flushing the cooling system and maybe doing a water pump in a nasty place on the car.

got it at dunhams in auburn.

Very nice!

That must have just come in. I'm in there a few times a week. Last time was just this past Tuesday and I didn't see that beauty. I need a 91/30 to accent my 44 but they haven't had any nice enough to do so.

I'm heading back there tomorrow morning. But my layoff has been extended so no money to spend.

 

[Slab]

you missed it then! the date on the tag said 12-22-08

there are a few mausers in there and 2-3 more mosins... including that 91/59 i was talking about

 

[dice dealer]

That sure would look good with the rest of my mosins ....
Nice find indeed

 

[Slab]

Thanks.. I still blame scutter for making me get it.

I've found they don't place all of their stock on the shelves.

The only one I saw on Tuesday that had fixed bayonets was an M44.

The one Mauser in the far right case with blonde furniture from Mitchell's Mausers is an absolute beauty, but I can't justify spending $499 on that bad boy when mine shoots just the same, it just looks slightly worse.
