so two weekends from now im going to a gun show. they military surplus rifles and such. last time i went i found someone getting rid of a mint condition Enfield that someone was selling for 100 dollars. im walkin in with 150 bucks and leaving with a rifle. alternately, i found an add for a guy selling a "new" unissued Mosin-nagant (dont know what model yet) with all the goodies like a bayonet, oil, pouches, etc. for 150 bucks. what rifle would be the best to get if i can find it? like, between an Mosin Nagant, Enfield, etc..

note: if i find a nice looking 03′ Springfield im jumping on that. I buy american guns before anything else.
also i don’t know if i should buy it from the one guy for 150 or wait until two weekends from now and go to the gun show. because at the gun show i just have this feeling that i might be able to find the same gun and all that stuff for like 100.
it’s the 91/30 model, so the most accurate and prolific of the different models.

Rich-it’s the standard russian infantry rifle of WW2. they’re a penny a dozen.

are there any non military surplus bolt actions chambered in a full power rifle cartridge that have peep sights that are under 00, im really wondering about this because i heard that they used to be common but when i look i have trouble finding one that even has open sights on it
@2112: meaning not a military surplus 1903 springfield or lee enfield mk4
or any other rifle that was used by the military then sold
@joed: i said NON military surplus and a .22 isnt a full power rifle cartridge

I’d love to find a Generation 3 or 4, but I don’t have a huge budget so Generation 1 or Generation 2 will probably do just fine. I’m looking for a 1X to 4X magnification scope that will mount on a Picatinny Rail, and cost under ,000. Maybe military surplus?

I want it beacuse I live in a bad neighborhood and I just want it for target shooting too. I was thinking maybe a military surplus gun. Ive heard good things about lee enfield’s. But I just wanted some other options.
Hell even a good boltaction.
Okay man. I shouldnt have the right to defend myself in my own house beacuse im 19 and cant get a pistol till im 21? I just want something that will have man stopping power thats simiautomatic.
Thanks you guys are a great help im leaning towards either a pump that holds quite a few shells or a mosin nagant.

Hey guys,
I live in Panama City and I love going to gun shows and being new to Florida I wanna know where in Florida within limits of where I live would host the biggest gun show. I’m into military surplus style rifles and I’m willing to travel about 2 hrs to a good gun show. I’ve heard tallahasse host pretty good shows. Any input is appreciated.

How would I go about shipping a military surplus rifle from Canada to the U.S., I know people that live in Canada could they ship the rifle to me?

Which military surplus rifle can you mount a scope on the easiest (without drilling the receiver, or doing any permanent modification to it) Also hopefully it would be inexpensive…nothing like 0
+ for a specialized mount or anything…
Thanks!
I do have a scope on my AR-15..you’re absolutely right about military rifles not supporting scopes…still I would like to try it anyway!!

I can’t find any affordable ammo for my AK-47 anymore. There should be all kinds of 7.62x39mm military surplus out there in the world. Why isn’t it being imported into the United States? Ammunition for all firearms is outrageously priced right now if you can even find what you are looking for at all. What the heck is going on? Is everyone just stocking up for the revolution and drying up all the supply or is the Obama Administration already passing laws that are driving up ammo prices and banning importations?

I would like suggestions for a military surplus AND non-military rifles
In order of importance:
1) cost 1K-2K (including fairly good scope/red dot)
2) great accuracy
3) 7.62 x 51 round (or 308)
4) high cap mag
Muchos Gracias!

I’ve read that military surplus 5.56mm NATO ammo may be unsafe in standard bolt action hunting rifles chambered for the .223 Remington cartridge. Any truth to this? I’m checking out a Stevens model 200 for my son but want to shoot surplus and economy ammunition in it. Is there anything to be concerned about such as pressures, cartridge length, bullet weight or bullet seating depth? Will the Stevens shoot milsurp safely and without jamming the rifle?

In the state of Massachusetts, it takes the 7.62x54mmR round the same as the Mosin Nagants. Also is it worth getting one of these rifles?
Well what about the SVD Tigr hunting rifle I heard it was a lot more accurate then the military surplus rilfes.

OK, I really want a cool military surplus rifle. I originally wanted an m1 carbine, but the ammo is way to expensive. I want a good rifle for under 350$ and it should have relatively cheap ammo. it can be bolt action or semi-auto.
