Hal, I saw a Kimber Tactical Ultra II at Gander Mountain a few days ago, $750 used.
I didn't mess with it much, but they didn't know what they had, and I'm pretty certain what it was. I'd have looked harder, but I don't want a .45.

It was like brand new, and about half price. I almost left with it just on price alone.
I might go back and look harder. Use it for the trade-in value.

There's a gazillion renditions of that Mauser of yours, brother. It's gonna be hard to pin it down. The serial number will be a big help to narrow it down cause they sold them to lots of countries and each model they did x number of guns and started with new serials, small runs.
If your serial is high enough, you can eliminate a lot of model runs.
I think it's an early one. WWI. It'd make sense it came back here.
Not all 9's have the 9 on them, either. And your's has the same grip as the 9, less the 9.

Well taking a trip down NFA lane.
Planning a SBR.
Going the trust route.

Scott I hope you make it back to get that 1911. That's a great buy!

Clueless...

Did anyone else get in on Diamondback's 40% discount last week?

Nope. What did you get?

I was looking for an LC9 with a Crimson Trace and I fell into this Beretta Nano 9mm with a Crimson Trace, extra mag, and the standard other junk for $369.
Our gun store is blowing out all the used stuff to make room.
If this gun has ever seen a shot through it, it wasn't via the mags that came with it. There weren't even any marks on the mag plates, they've never seen a bullet.

Hal, that 1911 was gone. I went back and checked.
I should have looked harder when I was there, but I really didn't like the gun at all.
Still, I should have picked it up just for the trade value. I wasn't thinking.

They were doing 40% off site wide. Got a complete 16" upper with 9" railed hand gaurd for $208 shipped

Got my 2 PSA Stripper AR lowers in today. Christmas present from my wife.

Gotta run to the bank with the wife to get the trust notarized.

Christmas present from my parents is going to be them paying for the $200 tax stamp to the ATF to submit my E-Form1 to build my SBR.

Can't wait.

scott. i used to have a nano. wound up selling it and buying my shield. didnt like how high it sat in my hand, but for that price you got a steal

This one would be worthless without the extended mag plate, just like my LCP.
I might end up hating it. I already hate that English action where you have to drop the clip to rack a round.
I don't care for a trigger safety, either. But the pull on this gun is so long and strong that I'll probably not carve cement when I pull it.

Looks like my Umbrella build is back on.
Just ordered their AXTS charging handle with umbrella symbol.
Now have:
Lower
Upper
Grip
Bolt carrier group
Giselle trigger
Lower parts kit

Charging handle on the way and still a bunch to go but little by little.
