Shipping/H - Pistols $35 - Rifles $55
I ship UPS/USPS ONLY.(No fedex.) Rifles going to AK/HI + $25 shipping. Each additional handgun after the 1st in same order ships for $10. Sorry NO combined shipping on rifles. - All firearms ship with signature confirmation.
FRIDAY 27th ORDERS WILL BE SHIPPING OUT BY TUESDAY 3rd
Tracking #s will be emailed by the evening of the above listed date.(Check spam.) - Emailing for updates before then will not make things go quicker.
MAILED PAYMENT OPTION - ENDING JUNE 1st
STARTING JUNE 1 2026, all orders must be paid with a card over the phone. I will not take any mailed payments after May 31st.
1HR round trip to get to the PO Box(the box costs $270 yearly), USPS being late/losing >25% of our letters, some using it as a layaway(ignoring the 7 day rule, instead sometimes delaying payment by weeks). And with just 5% of orders being mailed payment, it seems a good time to switch to card only.
Winter Swag Pack
PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR ADDRESS IN THE ORDER FORM!
Shipping is free on swag/stickers. I can take paypal(for swag/stickers only, no guns). If you want to pay via paypal, please mention it in the order notes.
WHAT YOU GET FOR $26
1 x Winter Watch Cap W/Stalingrad Sniper Patch (Tan or Black)
1 x Soviet Maxim MG decal.
1 x Aussie L1A1 (FAL) Lizard Sticker
1 x Genuine Vietnam War Chu Hoi M16 Mag Bag
US/Ukraine Watch Cap
The US military has had a fleece "watch cap" for decades now. It's slim, can be worn with a helmet, moisture wicking, soft and WARM and well made.(mine is 15+ yrs old!) We sent some to Ukraine and their troops liked them so much that they started making them. That's where these came from, made at the same Ukrainian factory that supplies them to their soldiers. Each comes with a Vasily Zaitsev Stalingrad tribute patch.
If you don't like the patch or want to put it on something else, just use a hair dryer or heat gun for 10 or so seconds and the patch will peel off, simply apply it with heat to whatever else you'd prefer.
WTF is a "Chu Hoi" m16 mag bag?
During the vietnam war, the wet and muddy climate would cause ammo mag springs to rust. Our soldiers would also often leave a lot of junk behind after leaving an area and the VC/NVA would move in after and dig through it all to find anything useful. Enter the Chu Hoi (Open Arms) mag bag. On it in Vietnamese is a safe conduct pass to any NVA/VC that wanted to desert and come over to the south, where they'd get food, shelter and medical aid. A loaded M16 mag would be kept in the bag, when needed the bag torn open and discarded on the ground where hopefully an enemy soldier would later find it and decide he wanted a better life. The "chu hoi" program had mixed results, a lot of times the NVA/VC would desert, fatten up and then go back to their own to continue the fight. This is a genuine unused chu hoi mag bag dated 1971. It's not worth much, but makes for a cool man cave display!
LIZARD STICKER
To go along with the mag bag(and my love of the FAL and L1A1 rifle), this sticker features an Australian Blue Tongue lizard, carrying an L1A1.("SLR") The Aussies and Kiwis came to help us in Nam when nobody else did. They used many US guns(including the M16) but their main battle rifle was the L1a1. In honor of our ANZAC cousins and both a cool rifle/lizard, here's a nifty sticker.
If you like Vietnam War history, a really good movie about the Aussie battle of Long Tan is usually streaming somewhere called "Danger Close".

The surplus market is like the tide, sometimes we get a lot, other times it's dry. Right now it's one of those dry periods, I am working hard to find more for us but for now these little lists are better than no list at all. With that said, because this is such a small list(of 15), I'm not doing a youtube video or doing the normal "10am thing", these are available right now.(So if you're seeing these and they're all marked SOLD, be sure to subscribe to the newsletter above so next time I get a small "available now" lot in, you'll know.) Please watch the video below to get an idea on condition.
ITEM NOTES:
#1 P08 Luger, please note this is sold as a B grade(as is). It looks to have had a shrapnel hit or something else that was filled in/repaired on the front strap and then the whole pistol was heavily reblued. I test fired 5rd through this one and it fired fine but the toggle really needs to be racked back hard. Overall a decent shooter grade luger that appears to be all matching(all of the #s on the outside anyway!)
#5 is single action only. Likely missing a spring for the double action. I'm selling it at below cost. Because of this, it's also a B grade/as is.
DEALERS CHOICE?
Dealers choice means you'll get one of the seven pistols shown in the video. I don't have any off to the side, you'll get one of the pistols shown. I grade all of these myself, if they don't meet the grade, they don't ship. NO REQUESTS, this is to be fair to everyone. If you need specific grip medallions or condition then please check out gunbroker, there's plenty listed there for $750.

**UPDATE - 2/27/26
If these happen, they'll be here within the next two weeks. So it's a "it does or it doesn't" situation rather than another prolonged wait/wondering. Keep an eye out for a newsletter over the next 7-10 days and your fingers crossed!
UNTIL (if and when) THESE ARRIVE, THIS SECTION WILL REMAIN COVERED
These are in fair/good condition, meaning expect plenty of wear n tear but a fully functional rifle. Expect many(not all) matching serial #s. Made in 1937 for Portugal at the Mauser Oberndorf factory in Germany. Identical to the K98k (plenty of waffenamts/swastikas) other than an extra sling attachment on the stock, an(arguably better) upgraded front sight and the Portuguese crest on the receiver. Why spend $800+ for a mixmaster/refurbished RC k98k when you can get one of these for less? - These are DEALERS CHOICE, meaning all rifles are selected at random from available inventory.(They are all boxed up and ready to ship so I cannot take requests/pick certain rifles, sorry.) PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO TO GET AN IDEA ON CONDITION! I pulled eight random rifles to show what kind of cosmetics/condition to expect. You may get one of the 8 or one of the ones I have not in the video/pictured but in similar condition.

WHY YOUR ORDER MIGHT GO UNFILLED
With high demand for surplus right now, I'll sometimes get more orders at 10AM than available inventory. Everyone clicks "order" on the dot at 10AM so on popular lists it comes down to luck. When you click the order button, your order goes to my inbox where all orders are organized via timestamp by google. I'll then spend the rest of the day calling each person.(One man show, so it can take until later afternoon.) I'll email/call by days end even if I can't fill an order.
In short, ordering right at 10AM does not guarantee your order will be filled, it can sometimes take ordering a few different times to get your order filled.
If I could fill every order, I absolutely would. But until then I'm doing my best to get in as much inventory as possible to keep up. Thanks for reading! - Alden
