The Gun market to me is the perfect example of just life in general right now for people in my age range (26y/o) by the time I was able to really get my life started and figure things out everything was so ridiculous that I couldn't partake without massive financial burdens. Vehicles, housing, weapons, even groceries and gas. Sorry for the tangent but when I heard "priced out" I got heated because it's true. We are priced out of everything
@MultiRokusho2 жыл бұрын
Yep I’m same age as you and when I wanted to get into guns when I was younger I had car repair, family business costs, other living costs that made throwing even 200$ on my first gun a big ask. Now that I’m in a better place financially it seems everyone thinks everything is worth the sun and the moon
@samuelneil26912 жыл бұрын
You're not wrong. Definitely feel this. Ironically I did not get financially comfortable until late 2019/2020. I wanted to get into guns anyway but I got thrown into it thinking the world was gonna end. Terrible time to get into it too but I'm still happy I did. Pro tip, get a small credit card $1000 max or something you can pay off in 6 months or 1 year max. That is how I make my firearm or large ammo purchases. Pay off the card and buy something else etc. Helps finance and also limit your spending. A small credit card is low risk just need to make sure you allocate enough to make payments.

I remember when Turkish Mausers were $39 in Shotgun News if you had an FFL. My buddies dad had an FFL and we each bought 3 of them, just for kicks we tested one to destruction. We went out in the forest and tied one to a tree and put a string on the trigger long enough for us to hide behind a big boulder and fire it, we took the kind of reloading dies with us that you can use a hammer on or put in a vise along with every kind of powder we had and sized and primed cases along with 8mm bullets. We tried faster and faster burning powders until we wound up taking the fastest burning powder made at the time which was Hogdon PB and filled a case all the way to the top with it which was compressed with the bullet when it was seated, that still didn't do it, so then we did the same thing and packed the barrel full of dirt tamping it down as hard as we could with a cleaning rod with a patch jag on it, that still didn't do it so we did the same thing plus took an 8mm bullet and drove it backwards into the barrel at the muzzle end with a hammer, that did it. But it didn't blow up the way you'd think it would or the way you see in movies, what happened was the barrel broke right at the back edge of the machine work where the front sight presses on, and it broke off so clean it looked like it was machined off right there. After we went back to his place we got his headspacing No-Go Guage and chambered it, the bolt had set back in the receiver so far you could hear the guage rattle around in the chamber when we shook the rifle back and forth. Needless to say that rifle is just a wall hanger these days, we even welded the bolt in it just for safety reasons so one day down the road after we're gone someone doesn't try to shoot it.

Don't, it's dangerous and I can't believe someone is recommending in a video to do this. Every receiver and barrel assembly is headspaced with the bolt, putting a bolt in a receiver and barrel assembly that isn't specifically headspaced to it is a good way to blow yourself up and wind up at the hospital with a doctor picking pieces of it out of your face, that's if part of something doesn't drive itself through your eye killing you instantly. These rifles make in the neighborhood of 50,000 psi in the chamber, that's 25 tons of pressure per square inch, does that sound like something you want to piece together yourself from parts?

Auctions are a solid way to get cheaper rifles just go online find an FFL and then do an online auction. This is how I bough a K98 for $650 and it’s one of my favorite rifles it’s in amazing condition for it to have cost so little. Since it’s an auction it was actually very easy to learn it was a Russian capture k98 from 1942.

Putting a bolt in a receiver and barrel assembly that isn't properly headspaced to it is extremely dangerous and a good way to wind up at the hospital with a doctor picking pieces of your new rifle out of your face, that's if part of it isn't driven through your eye killing you instantly, these guns make around 50,000 psi of chamber pressure, that's 25 tons of pressure per square inch.

Doing something like this is extremely dangerous and this guy shouldn't be telling people it's some kind of viable route to owning a collectable Mauser or any other bolt action rifle. This video is proof that just any unqualified person can make a video about something acting like they're a pro on the subject, if you EVER assemble a rifle like this from parts NEVER shoot it until it's been checked out by a qualified gunsmith with the proper guages to check out the bolt headspacing, that is definitely something this character should have mentioned in this video including having a written warning in bold flashing letters to make sure everyone gets how dangerous it is to shoot a gun assembled from parts, I just can't believe someone knowledgeable in firearms would make a video suggesting people should assemble a high power rifle from parts and not warn them against shooting it before having it checked out by a professional gunsmith, this is just as irresponsible as it comes.
