Has anyone here ordered any U Fix Em's/Gunsmith Specials from some of the milsurp dealers? You don't have to name names of the company. Its not allowed on the forums for their safety plus I already know plenty of places that sell them. I'd just like to know what you got, what condition they were in, and what needed repair or replacing.
I've seen plenty of pics and read reports on other forums of people having great success buying 3 rifles and getting 2 nice shooters and 1 parts rifle for cheap money, often what you'd pay for 1 vg/exc condition rifle. Often all thats needed is a few screws or even just a handguard. I recently ordered a Yugo 59 SKS (rarer model w/out grenade launcher) thats listed as incomplete but good otherwise. I chose the SKS because parts are everywhere and cheap, plus I know them inside and out. I haven't gotten it yet but will post results when I'm done.
I have that yearning for cold weather gun bench projects already and winter isn't even here yet.
I can spend hours down stairs at my bench with the wood stove going working on old rifles. If I start having good luck with cheap project milsurps, this could take my spending and collecting to a whole new level.![Smile [smile] [smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif)
