    Mauser Rifles

    Went to a shop today and saw two very nice 8mm Mausers but must admit I am not familiar with them at all - they just caught my eye due to their very fine condition. Markings are as follows: BERLIN S/N 1369 DEUTSCHE WAFFER-UND and the other is: MOD 98 S/N 7120 BNZ 43 (this one is...

    Future Valuable or Collectible Pistols

    Anyone out there have any thoughts on what might be a future collectible handgun from those currently in production or made let's say within the last 5 or 10 years? I suppose quality, functionality, reliability and and maybe rarity would have to be taken into account and I'm just wondering...

    CZ 83 - .380 or 9x18?

    Am thinking about a new CZ83 and am trying to decide on .380 or 9x18mm - they make it in both. Am not too familiar with the characteristics of either round but am looking to get the best in self defense performance vs cost & ammo availability etc. I believe .380 ammo costs more but it appears...

    East German Makarov

    I found one in OK condition (a bit of holster wear, a scratch or two - not bad though) for $249.00. Although I have been reading a bit about these I'm not real familiar with prices on the East German models. Is $249 a good deal or not? Also, who has the best deal on the unissued Bulgarian...
