PE is a neat town... neat area, too. I think you'll like it.

33 years old. Had no consumer debt, no car payments, a home leased out while deployed, and excellent retirement account/emergency fund... but I only shot two culls, a warthog and a blue wildebeest over three days' hunting!

Deal! Who is going to be our first customers?

@SaintPanzer you can confirm that

I've got the voice...

If anyone reading this has Landy lust, I’ve got a pretty sweet 1995 D90 TDI 300 with a totally rebuilt engine & a year old inside/out paint job! ;)

That rifle is an absolute beauty!

Prayers for you and your family, Lon

Thanks for the kind words - it's a beautiful weapon. I believe this Merkel was optimized as a slug gun. Why? Remember, the shotgun was manufactured in '80 in the GDR, behind the wall. In the GDR, unless you were a very senior and trusted member of the Party, rifles were forbidden for personal...

Hey everyone, I am stationed in Germany with the American forces. I've acquired a collection of shotguns that I would like to sell as I plan to move back to the States this summer or fall. I acquired this beauty about a year ago, and have safely nestled it away in the garrison arms room. I am...

That is indeed a bit suspicious. Confirmed they left early?

I think military. Welcome

Any chance for dates in early October?

If someone can buy my recently rebuilt and restored Land Rover Defender, I would have the cash to go! :A Big Hello:

Can second the Addo recommendation. I visited in April of last year, and having elephants walk alongside your tiny rental car was an experience. Quite a long drive from Cape Town, but an easy route most of the way. Just highway driving, and some very pretty scenery.

@SaintPanzer That campfire might have been at a cabin in the Schwarzwald? Glad to see you up & about... Otherwise, yep, how self-reliant are we?

Aiming for a tourist (maybe hunt - a short hunt) visit to Zim sometime in May or June... can't wait to go back.

Dang... I'm down... if somebody buys one of my guns for sale... I'd have the cash to go!

Wow - that would be a very incredible hunt! What dates are available?

Stationed in Germany. Send me a PM, will you please? @grand veneur

Stuttgart doesn't offer direct connections to the continent.

Tracks Across Africa please

Good to know. I'll keep my eyes peeled for deals for modern Heym DR's and K20/K80 Kreighoff shotguns.

@rookhawk, thanks. I think I'll get after acquiring Heym & Merkel & Krieghoff double rifles, then. Interesting - I just acquired an August Schuler clamshell action (assuming the photos I found online of August Schuler clamshell actions match up to what I've got here) drilling the other week...

Appreciate the free advice, @rookhawk

What would you recommend to buy if someone (me) was interested in acquiring rifles as an alternative asset class? I've picked up a couple German weapons with an eye to eventually selling (recognizing that market inequalities do exist; i.e. German DR's have much higher valuation in the States and...

Second incredible deal from Cabelas... seems they occasionally undervalue their inventory.

Mark, do you all do valuation and consignment? If 'yes', shoot me a note. Interested to hear what you offer.

Many congratulations! @AjFourie was a great guide, I highly recommend him.

Interesting, as Crimea was an independent, Russian-majority Republic for three years ('92-'95), and Russian from 1783-1954... only handed to the Ukraine as a part of a Soviet political deal. Of course, she has a dog in the fight...

If I was in America... would totally do this.

Hey, I'm from Bentonville!

I can vouch for @SaintPanzer - he helped me too.

Finally - use gunfinder.de. Adds in other sites. Egun is awesome, but if you're looking for a very specific model (say, a Merkel 303 - ) you'll want to use Gunfinder.de. Scours about five-six websites to pull everything together. But... you may find poorly marketed bargains on Egun. Ex: I bought...

For a U.S. based importer, I used a British expat named Peter Johansen. psejohansen@gmail.com / peter@ep-international.biz. He was really solid, and very professional, easy to work with, even when I needed the shipment changed last minute.

I can advise you on this - have bought multiple guns from egun.de. First thing, recommend you reach out to several German weapons exporters, and pick one you want to work with. Many, not all, but many sellers will be willing ship the gun to a German export company to ship overseas. Given...

Yes. I have a bit of (non-commercial) first-hand experience.

Shoot - wow - what an opportunity!

Sent you several PM's yesterday. Located in Germany but send to Arkansas. PayPal works well.

I will take it - do you do Zelle?

Politically, the USG views Botswana as the most stable/secure in Africa. Could be an option - I defer to the local experts.

Semper Fi, Marines... we have the watch...

If someone will donate the $55k, I've got the time! :)

Slowly collecting European guns with upside in the States. Planning to collect until it is time to buy an engagement ring, or another safari trip. Not much interest in taxidermy - maybe one set of nyala horns or a buffalo skull - as I'd rather have the memories and the photos. Longterm...

@Bookbug, shot you a PM with a request, did you receive? Ask to be kept in order of first-come, first serve...

I've got a Merkel 2001 in 12/70... if you're looking for a high-quality, European shotgun with really beautiful wood for the stock, you've got to take a look at this gun.
