$1900.

I hope they get some spare parts going for purchase especially op rods. Many of the parts on these will be original still apparently.

At first I thought it was the same Heritage that sells the cheap .22 revolvers and is now importing Taurus/Rossi guns, but it's Heritage Arms who focus on reproduction parts and precision rifle builds.

$1900 (plus shipping and handling) is crazy. is the CMP managed by Gunbroker resellers now?

Garands weren't cheap to make when they were new. It's a pretty significant undertaking to restart production like this. This is even at that price undercutting resellers. I was just at a gun store they wanted $2300 for what looked like a service or rack grade. an expert grade with a new criterion barrel and stock and reparked parts is iirc $1125? They're running out of receivers it seems like. I'm really happy they're doing this personally.

Do you guys use eye pro? I don't, never saw the point but if you have some anecdotes to say I should, I would like to hear them.

Funny coincidence - I was testing the Arisaka a picked up this month. While the gun was fine, the bullets from WW2 were apparently corroded, and some boomer fuck just polished off the verdigris before selling them to the milsurp store.

One of them ruptured and gave me the old spicy forehead, If I didn't have glasses, the small hunk of brass I have lodged in my forehead might have sliced up my eye instead.

I'm leaving it in there, just for the humble brag I AM THE LAST MAN CARRYING TOJO BRASS SHRAPNEL FROM WW2 IN MY HEAD!

Maybe if you pay inflated in store prices or if you're including optics into that rifle price. There's absolutely no need to pay that much for a handgun unless you're heavily into competition. You can get a sub moa AR (most people aren't sub moa shooters) for much less than $1500. G$ upper on sale and build out a lower. The hype beast guntuber push that you minimum need to spend thousands of dollars for a reliable rifle and handgun is really getting to me. You can get an optics ready CZ P-10C for $370 right now. Glock tradeins for similar. https://palmettostatearmory.com/cz-p-10-optics-ready-compact-4-9mm-15rd-pistol-fde-91577.html

Those are not "nice" guns in my opinion. They are functional to be sure but they are not finished nicely. there is more to the world than ARs and glocks.

You're not a REAL mil surp fan until youve had early 1900s slave labor ammo throw metal into your face.

Fucking Nips set up ammo bombs still salty over the bombs.

Epic cotton post tho.

Thinking of picking up a PTR 91 at some point. Specifically looking at the A3S model, even though it's a bit more expensive than the base GI model. I think it would be cool to get a reproduction wind correction table sticker for the stock and mock it up like a Swedish AK4.

I love my PTR too. Got a cool one with the black powder coat and the surplus german wood furniture. The A3S is the way to go I think, I wish mine came with the paddle mag release and the welded top rail but I can make do.
