Maryland gun show - surplus report
Went to the Silverado gun show this weekend at the Howard County Fairgrounds, thought I would post some of the prices I saw, give some kind of signpost as to what milsurps are doing these days:
Average 91/30: $100 with the usual bayonet + cleaning kit Hex receiver 91/30: $140 Hex receiver, laminate stock: $150 Good condition M44: $120 Good condition M38: $150 (mysterious markings, too) poor Turkish Mauser, non-matching: $120 Average Mauser 24/47: $225 Poor condition Enfield Mk 4: $250 Slightly below average Enfield Mk 1 No 3: $275 Average Enfield Mk 1 No 3: $350 Good condition Swedish Mauser: $350 Average condition 1903: $375 Sporterized 1903: $225 Average M1 Garand: $1200 Average M1 Carbine: $600 Poor K31: $375 (!) Average SKS 59/66: $230 Poor SKS 59/66: $175 Unissued SKS 59/66: $300 Average Chinese SKS: $350 Average Steyr M95: $200 Average French MAS-36 (.308): $350 A lot of these I couldn't inspect in depth; for what I presume were safety reasons most of the bolts were ziptied closed, so one could only get a rough estimate of bore quality, bolt smoothness, etc. Really all you could inspect was external bluing, stock quality, crown quality, and overall condition. Overall, it seemed prices were up a bit from the last show I went to, although I didn't take notes last time. And prices in Maryland are always a little higher than everywhere else, so keep that in mind. |

Thanks for posting. Prices over the river seem a bit higher than in VA. If you have a C&R you should hit some of the shows in NoVA.

LOL, I am expecting the k31 to at least double in the next year. Especially with an AWB as it is reputed to be one of the best bolt actions. I shot mine for the first time Sunday afternoon. The kick was miniscule. I may buy a few more, especially if i can find a sporter stock so i can take it to the range and such without worrying about the original.
