Are there any shops in MA that specialize in milsurp rifles and parts? Maybe a gunsmith that builds rifles and has stockpiles of parts? I have a couple acquaintances like this, but I’d like to expand my “network” when starting new projects.

Second Amendment Sports in Westbrook Maine is one of the best sources. Liberty Tree Collectors in Maine also. Pete from 2nd amendment is usually at the MA shows with a boatload of parts. Those are the closest ones to MA that I can think of.

Pack and Postal in Lancaster. Extensive selection of vintage long and short arms. I'm not sure of their willingness to sell components, but they have an inventory. Love the place and people there, and they are a little hard to get a hold of. Buy a copy of Gun Digest to see examples of the inventory. Typically four page ad....small print.

Ask Joe how many items he gets from Peter Dowd. Then research the Peter Dowd process. It may leave you with a different impression than "Eye Candy"

White cover with the new Python on it, probably still on the shelf at your better magazine stores.
I think typically they don't have an ad during August when they go dark.
I will have to take a look.
i dont see GD often as it is so its likey the last few over the last few years it was that dead zone for them.
I walked into P&P last August coming back from great wolf lodge. i walked around a good 15min until i heard " we are closed" i asked if I could still look around . "Sure, but every thing is shut down so I cant do any sales" only a few things grabbed my attention and well beyond my fun cash on hand .
he did offer a down payment option though.

Liberty Tree believes a 50+ year old milsurp is verboten in the commiewealth as it's not on the "list".
Didn't know he was in New England I guess wouldn't take too kindly if an 03 holder peasant tried to take one home.
The Tory is more liberal with parts (for now) and cartridges probably suffer a similar fate. Long live the King.

I'm still searching for a Swedish Mauser. No luck at Pack & Postal today. Anybody see any M38 Swedish Mausers in their travels lately?

I do a fair amount of business on Gunbroker, but in this case I want to see it in person. There are somthing like 14 or 18 parts that need to be looked at if you want a numbers-matching gun.
