I like that!

2200$ for a used .22l.r. rifle? It´s a joke, or isn´t it?
Here, you can "lucky", if you get 150.-€ for this rifle. The most .22lr-rifle went to scrap. The registration and storage are expernsiver, than the "worth" of the rifle.

3 days left & the bid is $2,035.00, it could hit $2,500.00. I wonder how much my single trigger model is worth.

I am shocked a German would make such a blatantly ignorant post.

Chambering has not a damn thing to do with a rifles quality or value. Anschutz 1700 series rimfirer ifles cost $1,800 brand new in the US right now and they are not as expensive to make as that Mannlicher stocked Steyr

Call up someone in Sterys' makreting dept and ask them how much that rifle would cost built brand new today.

As shown, it would cost every bit of $2,500.

Marketing departments do not know manufacturing costs. In fact for the most part they only know what customers tell them. It is rare for marketeers to talk to manufacturing.

The auction closed yesterday at $3,125. That's much more that I thought but you never know what a low production desirable rifle will go for. I'm upping the insurance on mine.

Another without scope & mounts..

Here in Germany the prices are down. As an example, last year alone in Bavaria, about 80 tons of guns have been scrapped by the authorities. Including not only "scrap"-guns, but also such treasures. I have a brand new, used Anschutz .22 Hornet, which I bought three years ago for 300,-€. Right now something is traded here in the internet for 1,- €.
My dad scrapped nearly new S&W revolvers, like M27 or M19, because the owner said so. We are making many guns to "wallhangers" since a few years. Here, the weapons must be destroyed irreversibly. Is a stupid time in which we currently find ourselves. Will also not get any better, with the left and green parties.

Why are firearms being scrapped in Germany?

2009, we got a new gun law. With many new regulation. The maine point was the keeping. After the school schooting 2009, every gun owner get mail, to demonstrate, how the weapons are locked.
To know more, it´s importend to know the history of the German gun law. After 1955 it was again allowed to own guns. Like in the USA, every citizen over 18 years could buy a gun. Rifles and shotguns were be free and handguns had to be registered. But in the year 1971 and 1977 we got a new gun law. The ostensible pretext for this was the attacks of the RAF. But they prefer to use stolen military explosives and firearms, but only as much by the way. Everything over airrifles with more than 7,5Joule were subject to registration. Only single barrel muzzle loaders are free to buy. So there were many people with guns. Today, only colectors, hunters and target shooter can buy guns. With special exams and importend, you need an approved reason for gunowning. This must be approved by Shooting assosiations.
The problem were that many citizens with gun permits from 1971/77. This, mostly now older peoples have no gun saves. Since a few years, every gun owner must have a safe, to protect the guns from unauthorized access. And so many of the older gun owners, hunters and target shooters give their guns to police stations or gun stores. So, in the last 2 years, tausends of guns migrated into the blast furnaces.
My dad have a little gun store. And there is no day which does not one occur, to sell their guns. In addition there are the tutelage of the authorities and defamation in the press. Gun owners are dangerous and crazy. Must be specially observed. We also have lost the right to the inviolability of our flat or house. Each time, the regulation can visit a gun owners home in order to control him.

Martin

PS:In addition, there are currently the major aspirations, to drive the weapons owning to impossiblty. A gun tax is such a controlling idea. Politicians, parties and other anti-gun groups would prohibit the possession of deadly weapons in the shooting sports. Hunters are first excluded of them. But their also think about a ban to store guns at home. Weapons should be stored centrally, or picked up, like in the GDR, at the police station and put it back, after using. Or guns must been locked with digital systems, like "Armatix". Everything is very expensive. In two years we have elections and if it goes badly, the left and green parties are making it. They want to decide then this.
In addition, we are all divided. Everyone is against each other and want the forbit something. hunters against target shooter, air rifle and .22lr shooters against big bore shooters,........So we would have a few of 100.000 owners, but we have no lobby, as the press and politics would like always stand up.

Good rundown Martin . . . and to the US I say you better stay behind the NRA and support them 100% in their efforts to NEVER get registrations pushed through. Once that is done the battle is over and it is just a matter of time until all these NEW laws crop up, cutting away bite by bite the ownership. And then they know exactly who has what and how many . . . and where to go and inspect them or whatever else.

They want to put a yearly tax on weapons. I say then they should also put a yearly tax on golf clubs, bowling balls, bicycles, footballs, baseballs, and all other related sporting or hobby items.

Yes, history has shown us. After World War 1, the Allies wanted to disarm not only the military but also civilians. Hunting, as well as sporting weapons should be collected and destroyed. This failed, however, there was no registration requirement at this time. Just now are a lot of old "treasures" from the times before WW1 and 1900 survived. It was not until after WW2 much has been destroyed by the Allies. But even the threat of capital punishment has not deterred many of their hunting and sporting arms to hide somewhere.
Well, since 1971/77, after all, but really any "dirt" is registered, it is easy for the government to relieve the law-abiding citizen's property. And in one of the most peaceful times we had in Germany ever. Thousands of people die every year in road traffic. Tens of thousands of hospital pathogens. Of the many deaths caused by nicotine and alcohol I don´t want to talk. But fewer than 100 deaths in 20 years by legal firearms, is used as an opportunity to provide a large proportion of the population under suspicion and to collect their property without compensation.

God bless America and the NRA!
