duza9999 Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 Hey everybody, bit of a strange one so I wanted to get other people’s opinions on this. Recently I just picked up a M50 Reising, which arrived it on Friday. However admittedly I was a bit taken aback. This gun was advertised as being “excellent condition” by however when I broke it down, I found this. Is it just me? How would you guys rate this personally condition wise? Was just a bit curious, I’ll probably also cross post this to ARF aswell.-Mathew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdmardiv Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 I have owned a Reising that was in excellent condition. This one is not. It would be a stretch to grade it good condition. Just curious, were there photographs before purchase? If so the rust and worn condition should have been apparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumpy Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 I would not rate this gun as excellent condition personally… you’ve show some pretty major flaws… but I can say 100% sure the welds for the part that holds your trigger assembly is completely normal an crude I’ve never seen one not look like that.

Ryo Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 I would rate it fair in my opinion. Too much rust, scratch/damage stock, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoodworth Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Wow, that is definately not in excellent condition, I would have been shocked and pissed off to see that when it arrived. The seller clearly only sent you selective pictures to hid the rust or they were old pictures from long ago when it was in better condition. Just courious were those the only pictures of the Reising he sent you? Where did you buy it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they were, and I’d prefer to not say, as the guy is offering a full refund and I don’t necessarily want to flame him as generally a pretty patient/easy going person. (Now if the refund never shows up then that would be a VERY different story). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Good on the seller for the refund.. though no excuse for the incorrect description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORE Shohola PA Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 I agree , it is not in "excellent condition " . However, I would not be upset with this particular gun. I do not see rust or scratches on the finish . It is patina/discoloration of the original finish ( may be some old partial reblueing) and the normal wear on the moving parts or parts that are getting hot. There are scratches on the stock , but you are not showing any cracks or bad dents. All the welds are correct and original ( they are actually not bad compared to other Reising smgs that I have seen). If the barrel and internal parts are good , you got yourself a nice Reising, good to very good ,original, used gun. . Not excellent though .

Colt Chopper Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 If it's just surface rust, I'd try some 0000 steel wool and Hoppes on a small area and see if it comes off. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
