    Really wish I could grab one of the original (three in stock) and excellent condition. Just bought a safe and ordered an M1 garand for my dad so I am tapped out.

    Three originals left in stock.

    Is this a deal I just shouldn't miss out on with it being in original configuration? Let me know. I'll sleep on the couch for a night if it's a great deal.

    If you are a diehard collector go for the original... but otherwise if you want a M38 get the other one and spend the 100 you saved on shipping and ammo... and get the refurb.... the refurb will probably shoot and look better too...

    Yeah. They're out of the arsenal refinished rifles, though.

    Oh damn... if your wanting one then do a quick look around see if anywhere else has, them as it may very well be the last opertunity too... and get in on the Type 53 group buy I am organizing its only $125 for one... and they are fun at the range or at a family get-together as you may need some more lawn darts ;)

    I see M38's on GB for around $250, but they aren't original condition... I'm buying it. F it. Anyone in Slidell got a place to stay?

    Sports, you're in covington. Got an extra room? :)

    Haha. I just ordered a 48 gun safe from Cannon (I went for room over quality, so sue me) and I'll feel bad if it's too empty.

    They were on classic firearms Saturday. I get the feeling a surplus vault was just opened but they are slowly releasing them to maximize street price and give a limited amount of dealers a high margin. Cabelas had mosin 91/30's in their Saturday circular at $119 and sks at $299. I think at this point importers might be intentionally limiting their sales to drive up street price and profit margins. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it's basic economics....supply and demand. Just IMHO

    I was thinking the same thing. I just saw M38s for $220 and they sold out in a heartbeat!

    Thats why I am getting that T53 group buy going right now, so we have a chance on them before they are gone... If I had some extra $$$ I would get a M44 from Wideners too...
