Non-Shooting Finnish WW2 &/or Russian? WW2

#1 Post by saddler »

Strange request as I hate the things....BUT find myself in need of some de-activated guns for a project

Prefer to get lucky & find a Finnish Suomi kp/31...failing that, a basic Soviet SVT-40, or even a PPSh or DP-28.

Ideally trying to fins an older spec. item that's taking up rack space in a collection, rather than a new one on a shop rack...as funds not too healthy (& it seems the olde days of £80 de-act. MN 91's & 38's is long gone - which is typical as I didn't want one then!!)

Could be interested in peripheral kit - canvas slings, stripper clips, cleaning rods/brushes, inert Soviet grenades/mines, etc. too

If you are after inert Russian grenades have a look at zibmilitaria.de , they have Russian F1 grenades for 25euro each.They are the green ones, the black ones with a red band are Polish F1 practice grenades and have a hole in the bottom.

Ta.

Seen the zib site....seems they don't like to ship to the UK though, for certain items at least (a shame as they have deact kp/31 in stock & their deacts are a fraction of UK prices)

Had a look on there a few times.

Some seller has a de-act dating to 2011 which he assures me is "old spec" & fully field strip-able, still cocks & dry fires, etc.
Have e-mailed him for confirmation, as he sounded a bit kukkuk on the phone (i.e. a £300 item I've offered in trade that he says he can get at auction for £40, but if he gets an item for £40 it suddenly becomes a £350 rarity...)

Sadly, too many greedy traders trying to punt out over-priced paperweights at prices in excess of what the same kit sells for on FAC
