Prices on a couple of Milsurp riles

[DennisCA]

Question about some pricing:

* Steyr M95 (Austrian) M95 Carbine, (Non-Matching) in 8x56r

* 8X56r Ammo - Marked
———————————————
* Swiss K11 Cabine, in 7.5X55 (All Matching, in including bayonet)

* Swiss, GP11 Ammo

Serious answers - no BS.

Thanks

Is the m95 a Bulgarian refurb? Finding one of those that is not matching is uncommon, and not in a good way. When Bulgaria refurbished these rifles they force matched stocks and bolts to the receiver. Now if its a gun that the Austrians converted to 56R that didn't go through Bulgarian refurb that is somewhat rare. For a Bulgarian refurb I would say somewhere in the realm of 300-400, but that would be for a matching example, as the majority of these are. A mismatched rifle greatly brings down the value IMO.

8x56R- markings add no value, it is the most common form of surplus ammo of this caliber. Is the ammo on en bloc clips in boxes? That will add to the value as en blocs are necessary to load the magazine. This caliber is available as new production from PPU. https://ammoseek.com/ammo/8x56mm The cheapest we can buy in CA (as SGAmmo will not ship to us) is $1.80/round. I would probably put the surplus ammo at $1 round, it is corrosive, non reloadable, and may have reliability issues (personally I have had to double strike some rounds to get them to fire.) The clips if marked probably around $5-10 each.

Swiss K11 - I would check what https://simpsonltd.com/ are listing their guns at and work off of that. They are pretty much the #1 place anyone should be buying Swiss milsurp from.

GP11 - found some on ammoseek for $3/round. https://ammoseek.com/ammo/7.5x55mm-swiss Some people treat this as the holy grail, but again, it is non reloadable so personally I'd rather just buy PPU.
