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 6th ORDERS WILL BE SHIPPING OUT BY FRIDAY 13th
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 an extended layaway(ignoring the 7 day request, 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

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, it'll usually keep your head toasty for temps above zero F. They're also well made, I've got a USAF surplus one I've worn for 15 years now and it's still like new. We sent some to Ukraine a couple of years ago, their troops liked them so much that they started making them in Ukraine. And 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. Brown/Black your choice!
Psst.. 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 often cause ammo and magazine 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. He's carrying an L1A1.(or as the Aussies would say, an "SLR") The Australians and Kiwis came to help us in Vietnam when nobody else did. They used many US guns(including the M16) but their main battle rifle was the L1a1. So in honor of our ANZAC cousins and both a cool rifle and 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".

NOTES ON THE AK74, this is a brand new(unfired by me) AK74 side folder from PSA. Their price? $999 + tax on their site. I've upgraded the pistol grip to a soviet surplus grip and added an original soviet AK sling. The mag pictured IS NOT INCLUDED as it's just shown for aesthetics. The stock on this rifle is VERY stiff/hard to actuate as it is brand new. This rifle being brand new comes with their full warranty.

Nazi K98k (937a) Mausers *SOLD
I CALL FROM A 919 AREA CODE! DON'T MISS OUT DUE TO SPAM BLOCK!
**UPDATE - IT'LL BE A LITTLE WHILE!**
I'm still expecting to have at least one more lot of these but there's been a small snag in the process that's delaying these right now. While I can't give you any guarantees of them showing up again, I'm still very hopeful that we'll have them sometime in February. As soon as I know, I'll let y'all know. I really appreciate you being so patient!! (No preorders, sorry.)
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
