Barrels of surplus rifles was a pretty common thing until the mid 80's. I remember barrels of M-1's, 1903 Springfields, KAR 98k's, Carcano's and others for anywhere from $59-$129.00. I remember staying away from those barrels as a younger man. I didn't want to get all that cosmo on me. If only I'd known then, what I know today.
I only wish I had known about those barrels, and where to find them at the time. I'd have been able to start collecting and shooting a whole lot sooner.
These videos are one of the best references for my friends and I for buying any firearms. But, the best part is owning one of the firearms that come in and having them valued above what we paid.
The parent company for Palmetto State Armory (JJE Capital Holdings) purchased the H&R name in the Remington bankruptcy. No announcements from them yet, but there have been rumors of new production Garands under the H&R name. They may have even inherited some of the old tooling to start off with
I wonder who dislikes these videos because I love them just like forgotten weapons. Except it’s a wider range of firearms with I think an excellent overview of price, history, and use. For each. Especially with me having a small budget watching a few of these really shows a diverese range of guns that may fit my price range with their ups and downs.
So nice to see another fan of 'Gun Jesus', as some refer to Ian McCollum. I am starting to really enjoy this channel as it showcases different weapons than Forgotten Weapons and yields a slightly different but equally valid source of information.
One positive thing about sporterized guns is finding one that can be restored. Found a No.4 Enfield at a gunshow. Stock was cut down and the stock bits were missing, but other than that intact. Some spare parts, sanding and staining later and I have a fully functional No.4. It wont ever be original, but it feels good to bring something like that back.
I picked up a sporterized WWII vintage Enfield at a gun show a while back, just because I wanted to be able to shoot a legendary piece. This particular unit was made in the Lithgow foundry in Australia, circa 1942 or so. The dates on receiver and stock vary by about a year but that seems reasonable. More importantly, all the cartouches, proof marks, etc are still legible, it feeds and fires well. One thing I did notice is that the 10 round magazine appears to be crafted of aluminum. Would that be authentic? If anyone can answer this question I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
The first auto pistol I bought with my own all grown ups money in like 2001,was an all metal baby eagle in 9mm full size,loved it I had it for long time wish I didn’t sell that one like a putz!
Always enjoy these videos and the history and stories that come with them . Nice early smith and wesson model 36 , with the flat latch , diamond stocks and pinned barrel
A friend of mine has an original 941 combo with the box, IMI branded boxes of 9mm and .41ae ammo, and both barrels. I told him to buy a replacement 9mm barrel, and never shoot the .41ae ammo unless he could find another box of the stuff.
My grandfather passed on his firearms down to me, and one of the guns he gave me was a Harrington and Richardson 9-shot .22lr revolver. It is a beautiful little .22 - I won’t ever give up that gun
funny enough, I wrote that previous comment before finishing the video. My grandfather also left me with my great aunts winchester 1906 .22 short. she’s an oldie!
Wow I love your videos. I own what most people would think is a lot of guns but amongst gun owners it's a small collection. I love seeing average used guns showcased and valued. I spend a lot of time window shopping online for guns and I think your valuations are spot on. We pay a California tax for what can be sold here, anyways keep up the great work.
I have a buddy that hunts with his dads sporterized Arisaka, he added a scout scope when he inherited it about 15 years ago, still puts meat in the freezer.
another informative video I enjoy the history of the firearms and manufacturers you include in all your presentations. Hoping you do a video on your thoughts about CZG buying Colt.
I have an SU22 (and SU16) and it's a sweet rifle. I haven't run it real hard, but it's been reliable with any brand of ammo I use (dud primers not the gun's fault--they usually fire when I rotate the case). The mags were designed by Black Dog Mfg, so that's the go-to for extra mags.
Fun fact, the kel-tec SU-16 & SU-22 are sold with 15.5 inch barrels... When viewed by ATF for approval, it was featured with a flash hider which gave it overall 16.5" barrel length when measured with dowel. They ditched the flash hider for a thread protector just as a little "F YOU" to ATF. Point being - if you have one, be prepared for a fine when they start going door to door with a tape measure looking for these super deadly SBR's masquerading as "pistols" Also, I live near Kel-Tec & while most think they run limited production, I can confirm they do as much as they possibly can & are constantly hiring people to meet demands but they just don't operate 24hr/ multiple shifts... Now, I can also confirm they are quick to fix warranty issues, even on one pistol I bought USED.. took in 2 for issues & received a call 4 hrs later. They had replaced entire upper/ slide assembly on a pf9 + PMR30 and gave me a new mag for the 9... I have no complaints for them outside of some function issues in a very early PMR30 & CMR30. The pf9 ran fine, but ejection was all over the place & trigger seemed like it had sand in the internals but all fixed now...
My buddy was gifted a couple rifles. One is a Remington mod 12 gallery gun 22lr, long, and short that is actually in my possession at the moment. The serial is 738xxx. And it is your standard A grade and a 9.5 out of 10... Amazingly new looking and cant see finding a better example. Im having a hard time gauging what it worth if you might know. Iv owned alot of old firearms an never seem one this old look so new. I say my buddy got a good deal for free. Lol
I would guess that a lot of people see how crazy the gun market has gotten, so they look in their safes and say, "Hmm, I rarely shoot that one any more, and I can get top dollar for it if I sell it now." But that's only speculation.
I tend to trade something that I don't like as much for something that I like better - usually works well for the shop and myself. Shops will usually only pay about 60 percent of what they will flip it for to cover their overhead but when you are trading in something that they see as something that will move fast or faster than what you want you can get a better deal than just cashing out.
What GunBroker seller are you? I like the old wood and steel. I had a Nickel Rossi copy of the .22 slide action. Sold it after a few years. Wasn't made very well and had to be careful with it not extracting live rounds.
I don't know what's going on with TH-cam but I haven't gotten any videos from you for a while, I still show subscribed???? I Un-subscribed and re-subscribed. I always love these videos I learn so much about gun's from you, your awesome
I would like to buy the black power gun that is sitting behind you or to the the right off you ..but i live in Kentucky ..p.m Thurman Mills I'm on messager can you ship a black power still if so i am truly interest ...i not just talking
A few years ago it was said that the cz-75 was the most worldwide copied handgun. (YES bubba, muh 1911 is moar copied in the US, but at some point you're going to have to acknowledge that the rest of the world exists) Then Glock patents started running out.............. I think it's just a matter of a couple of years until the Glock surpasses both.
I got a little carried away with the info on these hehe. I will keep it more concise in future WUGR videos! Thanks for watching, everyone!
Nice show and gun 👍
Honestly please don't. I don't even own a gun (though I'm considering buying one soon) but I love your history info and everything else. Don't change a thing. If a non gun nut likes your reviews you must doing something right!
Dude. We can always skip forward. I wouldn't neuter your content. I like it as is.
I can’t find a Springfield 911 in 9mm anywhere
Love the history
I look forward to the review every week. I call it Not Yet Forgotten Weapons. Thank you.

I love this series for the old walnut and blued steel guns.
I learn more about guns that I usually wouldn’t look at. Things I didn’t think would be interested in.

Love this channel. Watch every week.
I'm always struck by how knowlegeable you are about the firearms you speak about. Clearly speaking from memory, not notes -- its a pleasure to watch.
I really enjoy your Weekly Used Gun Review . I watch it every week here at home in Central Florida , keep up the great work !
Best gun channel on you tube! Wide variety of firearms .
Ah, the shoulder thing that goes up- way ahead of its time :}
But does it use a 30 caliber magazine clip?
I’m so glad you continue to do these online educational clips . I take you’re opinion very seriously

I've been binge watching this series. That H&R revolver is the coolest thing I've seen so far. Good price for a realy neat old school firearm!
Ive carried a P938 Combat in OD Green with the Hogue single piece grips for about 4yrs now... Absolutely love it.
Those Jericho 941s and the different variants are great guns the accuracy is insane.
A friend of mine has an original 941 combo with the box, IMI branded boxes of 9mm and .41ae ammo, and both barrels. I told him to buy a replacement 9mm barrel, and never shoot the .41ae ammo unless he could find another box of the stuff.
Sage advice. I hope he takes it to heart and acts upon it.

actually, i’m mistaken, it is a winchester model 1890 .22 short. it definitely has an octagonal barrel

I have a 1906, originally purchased by my grandfather. It's a late production model. These are identified by a smooth fore grip.
I have a buddy that hunts with his dads sporterized Arisaka, he added a scout scope when he inherited it about 15 years ago, still puts meat in the freezer.
Love these videos, as usual. No macho posturing b.s.. Just facts and real world knowledge. And every once in a while something drool-worthy.
Again thank you for your time. Wish my local shop had what you just presented.

Awesome to mention viewers. Totally cool. Thank you.

I am learning every week something, thanks 🙏
The Winchester 1873C in 44-40 was the first pistol caliber carbine.
I've been shopping for an old lever gun.
The prices are all over and yo high for many of them.
Sign of the times.
Thanks
Old as in original? There sre a ton of new product copies.
That Winchester 73 is beautiful. I want an old old old lever gun like that. How easily is it to get ammo in that caliber?
It's probably challenging for 32-20. You probably need to seek out speciality ammo companies. Or roll your own if you are familiar with handloading
Oh man... That 1873 is calling my name.
The 06 you failed to mention that you can hold the trigger back and pump the gun till it is empty.
Here we go. Been waiting....
You wouldn't happen to be from Indiana?

Man I love these videos.
The little SIG 380 in the rainbow finish was ever so pretty!!! Did H&R make the Trappers in .22 magnum at all?
Yes they made a conversion cylinder that you could swap out.
Do a majority of the people sell their guns just for the cash, or do they trade for a different gun?
I would like to know this as well. And if any trends emerge
I'm curious about that as well.
I would guess that a lot of people see how crazy the gun market has gotten, so they look in their safes and say, "Hmm, I rarely shoot that one any more, and I can get top dollar for it if I sell it now." But that's only speculation.

Cash.... Have bills to pay.
Good work, keep it up!
What GunBroker seller are you? I like the old wood and steel. I had a Nickel Rossi copy of the .22 slide action. Sold it after a few years. Wasn't made very well and had to be careful with it not extracting live rounds.
It's something like blaze_ball
Did anybody else see that on the IWA the slide was not walking back with the mag inserted
Wow... Prices have jumped. Just wondering? M38 Swedish Mauser, 1942 Husqvarna made. Condition very good to Excellent. Value today? 🤔
Informative
