Yet another 1930

alvin · 04-20-2010, 08:39 PM

Next time to Beijing, I will carry some holsters back selling to cover my ticket cost. Dirty cheap stuffs. Those leather fits OK in general. The replica wood holster is poorly made low quality stuff, everything that can go wrong goes wrong, even blind guys can tell they are fake. But those have specific market -- I sold some in the past, easily went $80-$100 per piece. Nowadays, probably harder to be profitable, too many people selling those items on the market.

[Edit] Also thought about making a bunch of bolt stop and selling them for range guns. I saw people listing those $80 on ebay. $80 was probably too high to sell. But $20-$30 should have a small market. Cost was $1. But my friend did not like the idea -- if it fails and bolt flies out hitting shooter's face .... a big liability issue. Holster is safe. At most it does not fit well and the gun swims inside.

Here are some photos of the Mauser rig for Cowboy Action Shooting:

and just so you guys will believe me on the Mexican Revolution thing, here is a Mexican Revolutionary babe with a Luger...

and I had better get the Mauser to run properly, otherwise, with the 1918 out with a broken ejector, I am left with the Pimpgewehr (this was Herman Goering's personal pistol, naturally):
