I like milsurp.
I REALLY like milsurp.
So, as you know, new stuff doesn't come around very often. But when it does, I'm interested.
I decided to take the $1500 plunge on the Porto M937A. As they are damned rare in the US.
I have a M1904/36 Vergueiro and this would make it a good companion.
It came with 900 rounds of Greek 1939 8mm ammo which makes the price a bit more palatable.
I must say it is a gorgeous rifle. It is in excellent condition.
Of course it is matching and it comes 100% complete. Rifle, sling, rod, even bayonet.
The crest is beautiful.
It basically is a 98K (made in Germany even) but with a Vergueiro front sight.
Waffennampts
I must say the ammo is as impressive as the rifle. Awesome condition, both the boxes and the ammo. I'm impressed Greek man.
So I shot 45 rounds yesterday from 100m to 500m. It performed flawlessly, except for shooting about 2 inches low and 3 inches right at 100.
Once I got my hold I was hitting 8 inch rounds at 100 without a problem, 200 without a problem, I was minute of man at 300 and minute of doorway at 500. I wasn't doing it on paper and didn't have a sighter, so I couldn't really dial it in.
No rust.
So the ammo is obviously corrosive. But just remember doing a good cleaning with your choice of salt remover and you are good to go. I prefer WWII green can GI bore cleaner, but even just really hot water following with a good oiling will work fine.
