- Collectors that have been in the collecting game for a while definitely remember a time when a lot of milsurps were cheap, abundant and not as sought after. Now, there is a lot of competition for milsurps. There is also a lower higher demand and a lower supply of good condition military surplus. Recently, I have noticed that the sentiment has gone down because of some outrageous prices seen at gunshows, shops, and online. It is really just ridiculous. So how do you find the true value of these in 2024? is there still cheap Military surplus rifles in 2024? What about finding cheap milsurp stores? Need to know how to find cheap military surplus in 2024? In this video, I explain the methods I use.

I've had an M1 Carbine for quite awhile now. Bought when it was cheap by today's sale prices. Just bought a select 6.5 Carcano from RTI for about what I gave for the M1 Carbine way back when. Realizing now that I waited too late to get into the mil-surp collectors game other than if one cheaply drops from out of nowhere into my lap at some out of the way flea market or garage sale.
Wow! Well wouldn’t bet on these being one of the best investments, but I’d say they do better than the rising rate of inflation. A pretty decent alternative asset imo.
I just picked up my first collectible and i feel like I got a fair deal on it. I could have possibly waited, but i found a person that wanted to make a deal.
Nice!
They are worth what you are willing to pay.
Honestly, I just browse and talk to soooo many about guns.. it really is my absolute passion. Just over time, I have been able to gather the value of basically every common thing out there on the market.
assuming in good shape
Mosin 91/30, non German Mausers, Lee Enfield Rifles - 400 bucks
1903 tends to be about 800 to 1k, 1917 runs a bit less at around 600 to 800
Century and Polish AKs 600, imported AKs 900 to 1200 depending on brand
PSA, Radical, ect budget AR's 400 to 500, mid teirs run 700 to 1k
Trapdoors 700 to 1k depending on year and condition
30-30 lever actions can be had from 700-1k unless found used
Carcano rifles are very cheap lmao
Steyr M95s not from Ethiopia run about 600 to 800
I can keep going
Thanks for posting your info. Yea sometimes I spend hours researching the price of just one gun… maybe an obsession with price vs value? Idk I’m still surprised at what some sellers continue to ask for these so I challenge myself to find one for really cheap.
Just got a g43 for a little over 3k
Yep, very much what I do - and some new ideas for me. Thanks
Great video Dan!
Thanks!
Saw an Israeli Mauser chambered in .308 where I bid $800, thinking it was a steal since there wouldn't be much worry of buying obselete milsurp ammo, until someone dropped nearly double on it just to ensure they'd basically own the bid... keep in mind you could get like 3 decent condition Carcanos or Mosins for that price... milsurps are unfortunately worth what people are willing to blow on them, and the market will continue to inflated until people get some standards in their spending habits.
And here I was thinking that 800 was a little on the high side… somebody outbid you and got it for double!?!? Insanity! Though i have heard of some people finding good deals on GB this year.
My questions are 1) how much does it cost on sites that I trust, 2) how much do I want it, and 3) what's the current state of my bank and credit card balances? The higher the price, the less urgent my desire.
Good questions to ask.
People selling Mosins for $500 is frustrating.
It's one of those guns that is like the AK platform. Like the AK the Mosin is everywhere!
There is a store here in my area selling a Westinghouse M91 Mosin for $750. It's neat, but it's story does not match up. The seller claims that it is a Finnish capture. Just one problem. It has SA. It isn't a capture Mosin, it was Finnish property.
If it were captured then that would come with a very big story and some proof of where it likely was because it would have a 40 or 41 mark or the corresponding year it was captured during the Continuation war (WWII). If that were the case the $750 might be justifiable. But no. The SA just means that Finland bought it off the US at some point. I even explained to the guy that it wasn't captured, and that SA means it was Finnish property.
Some people just can't let go of what they see as Gold when to others it is Copper or Stone.
If you find a good gun shop with a guy who regularly sells surplus and antiques at good prices, befriend them as soon as you can because they will hook you up with some good stuff.
Right information. By the way, who's the guy without the hat? Lol
lol funny story, I’ll have to call you about it haha 😂
I was part of an auction Monday evening. I had a couple I liked , mosin, p1,p-38, Enfields. None in particular great condition or with much info.. sold for enormous amounts. All I think over 575 and out of my range. 1 Arasaka went for $290, a training rifle.
Wow crazy
Got a Hex for $99 and a PU for $650. They will never be that price again and I wouldn’t pay any more for them now.
Yes sadly they have gone up a lot… but I think you’d also have to calculate inflation into what they’d be worth today because the cost of a lot of things have gone up since then.
If people didn’t pay these ridiculous prices, then the prices would come down
Yes! But besides the ignorant novices, I’ve heard there are still some big money guys paying hefty prices for these for their collection/investment
They're worth whatever you can get on an auction site. Wait until everyone has their tax refunds, or fear buying before an election, put your gun for sale about 20% more than it's worth. It won't sell. Leave it there for a few weeks, then raise the price another 20%. It'll sell.
Same strategy works for pretty much anything of real value on auction sights. Electronics, ammo, cars, collectibles, etc... Not so much on daily expendables like AA batteries, where they are plentiful & cheap. 🤠
After reading a few business books, and seeing it done in real life, that’s a strategy that really works
Fuck doing my own research I'm going to start believing what the sellers are telling me the prices are
lol 😂
I saw standard m91/30 mosins for about 800$ online shit is demonic
😯
I tell novice collectors all the time learn the average condition of sonething and going price the adjust that numbered based on the example youre seeing. Its a good rule of thumb a good chunk of chinese and turkish surplus is trashed but again thats AVERAGE CONDITION. I came across a guy selling a chinese type 53 for 300 bucks that was matching and as nice as a Russian m44. He just figured its a chinese mosin they all go for that low. Even if you dont know the extent of manufacturering numbers and little marks knowing the basics will help you a ton when u find a random rifle you werent exactly looking for. Case in point i also got a manurhin p1 pistol with 2 matching mags and the original Berlin police holster with having no idea how little of those were made. Just saw he wanted 600 for it and i knew the current post war p38 pistols were going for 550 and saw the better finsh, an extra mag, and holster and thought why not.
How do you value a rare gun, though ?
Looking to buy a lee enfield no.4 mk 1 (t) sniper. The prices range so much from one to another.
Great question… imo, you’d have to use the above information like recent auctions and such. Then, it’s really based on rarity, original parts, rarity of the scope/parts, and especially condition. A rarer collectible like that is really worth what someone is willing to pay for it. A bidding war could ensue between people who really want it. If you’re just going to put a price tag on it for insurance or your own records, I’d find what some websites had listed them for or what one sold for at auction and use the higher value.
You could also get an appraisal at a reputable shop, but that costs money.
@@BattlefieldCurator thank you !
Apparently.there is "a whole lot of sentimental value" placed on sporterized 1898 Springfields...and naive bidders keeping them out of reasonable reach!
Interesting… never would have thought!
The whole drive of buying surplus guns is that they were affordable. Why buy a surplus military rifle when you can buy an excellent Remington, Winchester, Ruger, or Savage. I was buying Mosin Nagants when they were $39.00. Turkish Mausers and Yugo 24/47 were also $39.99. The reason they sold so low was that most people didn't want them. Reasons behind those of us that bought all the surplus was that we could buy a spam can of ammo and a couple or rifles and still have affordable fun. $1500.00 for an M1 Garand and 30-06 ammunition for $30.00 for 20 rounds. Forget it. The surplus rifles are what they are. I would pass on a World War 2 Luger, P-38, or 1911. You would be better off getting a Glock 9mm and a Tisas 1911 .45acp. For a rifle get a Remington 700 or Winchester 70 in .223.
There are still plenty of folks who enjoy these classic designs at the range. I get it, there are those who want the most efficient and practical firearms but there are also those who would find those obscure old guns more pleasing to take to the range.
Hidey, Dan.
