You have to be careful with those rifles. When it comes to rifles, you get what you pay for. A Mosin-Nagant or Mauser that sells for that cheap is usually a 'franken-rifle'. That means that it has been assembled from parts from various rifles in different stages of condition.

If you don't mind that, well that's OK,they shoot fine. But if you want a complete and genuine WW2 Mosin-Nagant, Mauser, or Lee-Enfield, you will have to pay a couple hundred bucks for it.

Actually, you are wrong. OSS stands for The Office of Strategic Services. This organization was the father of both the CIA and SOCOM. During WWII the OSS was formed to put together and experiment with "unconventional operations," which was a fairly new idea at the time. Operations including espionage, assassination, subversion, sabotage, and deep penetration missions. The OSS drew most of it's members out of the top graduates of Yale. The OSS was given a joke nickname standinf for Oh So Social. The OSS was disbanded after WWII until Kennedy was elected. Kennedy was facinated with UW and had a big hand in forming SOCOM (Special Forces, Navy SEALs etc..) and the CIA. Many former OSS members went on to hold command positions in both organizations. The first DO (Directorate of Operations) of the CIA was a former OSS man. Many other DO's were also ex-OSS.

Denoir how would you know? You can't own guns.

If it is in good condition it could be worth a good sum. I suggest that you keep it. The older it gets, the more rare it will become. We have a Waffen SS dagger that my grandfather (a grunt in the 3rd I.D.) pulled off of a Nazi troop that he killed. We will never sell it. It is too valuable a momento from a soldier that surivived campaigns in Africa, Italy, France, and Germany. My grandfather received 5 purple hearts in WWII and still saw it through until the end. I don't know how he survived it all.<span id='postcolor'>

thats how we got the luger, my great uncle took it from the corpse of a dead officier in WWI and decided to bring it back, after he passed away, it went to my great aunt. but my uncle asked first so he now got it before my dad managed to get it. should i ever see him i see if he'll let me have it. and OSS stands for Office of Secrete Service Timmy <span id='postcolor'>

OSS stands for Office of Stategic Services.

Edit: Damn, I should have read the rest of the thread and known that USSoldier11b would catch that one.

Your lucky you didn't find any landmines or UXO.

I hear that in Germany, there is a law that makes it mandatory for construction companies to do an official search of an area for stuff like that before they start digging. Scary. It sure would suck to find an unexploded 500pd bomb.
