Oh my. Black Friday indeed. That's all I'm saying for now.





Mods, this thread will be relevant to rifle discussion. Give me 24 hrs.
 
I just looked over the ad they sent me in the paper and didn't see any great sales, or ones that I would be interested in.

I don't think that the dunhams near you will sell out of what you want if you tell us.
 
M1 Carbines - $599
Wasr-10 - $279
Wasr 5.45x39 - $199 (Dont' Know if they're single or double stack)
Mosins - $69
Wasr 5.45x39 single stack (Dragonov or Regular Stock)- $219
Hi-point .40 Carbine - $229

And other several other shotguns, muzzleloaders and rifles
 
Ok, sorry for the drama, just having some fun. How about that WASR-2 for $199? AIM had them at $289 and I almost bit then, however I'm not a huge AK fan. But $199, give me 2 please. I imagine that they'll have some nice ammo deals too. I'll be there at 0500 and I'll report any findings when I get home.
 
I've seen Mosins for $59 lately, admittedly not laminated or even particularly nice solid stocks, but good shooters. And I can get that Hi-Point for $199 with an extra mag.

The WASR prices are good though, dunno about the M1 carbines, haven't priced them out lately.
 
Bleh... the WASR-2 was the single-stack and only came with the thumbhole type stock. No thanks, not even for $199 do I have any interest in that.
 
Nothing special and Dunhams guys. Those are pretty average prices for them. Some are a bit lower, but nothing insane.

I'm still stocking up on Wolf 223 at 3 boxes for $10. They were all out so I had them write me a huge raincheck for them. Been slowly getting my fill for a while now...

I was going to buy a 5.45 WASR at $199 as well, until I realized they were single stack's. No thanks.
 
Well I got one. Mine has the regular stock and pistol grip. They were sold out but had one left in the back marked defective. I offered $150 for it and they agreed. The defect? No magazine. I don't have any need for a single stack mag anyway. These things are super easy to open up for double stack mags.

The muzzle is capped and threaded, ready for an AK-74 flash suppressor. Tapco trigger components. I figure an hour or so with the dremel and she'll be in good shape.
 
A new Dunham's opened up close to me. Went down tonight to take a look. Wasr's didn't look bad. The M1 Carbines were really in bad shape. One had white paint on the stock. Did notice that unless it's on sale, their prices were actually more than the local Cabelas. Was thinking about a Wasr but I'd rather have 7.62. The other surplus rifles were not in the best of shape. Guess I'll stick with buying using my C&R.

Okay, this post cost me $600. Carefully waited till the morning rush was over, and went to Dunham's at 10:00 am. They had 2 Inland M1 carbines. Stocks all beat up. One had a flat bolt, one had a round bolt Got out the bore lite, and the lands were shiny and sharp, no muzzle grinding from cleaning. Went out the door with one. Bear with me, am not a M1 carbine expert. Had previously owned 2 carbines, but sold them off. Still had over 500Win factory rounds, dies, mags and literally thousands of once fired brass.

The one bought has an Inland receiver (serial #8139XX), Inland General Motors barrel marked 9-48, RA stamped on butt of grip and a rotary lever safety. The flat bolt was well fitted, and broke in. The stock is real beat up, and has a white painted # 18 on it. Believe these are Israli imports? Looks like they were thrown into a box.

Immediately cleaned barrel (it didn't need it, or bolt lubing and firing pin floated freely) and took it to range. Before shooting adjusted sight to left, as both previously owned carbines needed this. Sighted in at 25 yard paper target, then went off hand at hanging steel (bout 9in by 12 in)100 yarder. Not one mis feed the whole time, including 60 rounds from a 30 round mag.

Real easy to hit the steel, and certainly seemed more accurate that the previous 2 owned. Yea, may have payed too much, but got to pick and inspect. Will probably remove the white paint.
