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.
when during WW2 we were upgrading and sending them off to the front lines within a few months timeframe? For example, the M-16 assault rifle. It jammed in Vietnam, jams today, requires tons of maintenance in the field, uses a semi effective caliber round, is too large/bulky for urban environments and yet we still use it after 50+ years. I understand we were in high gear production wise during WW2, but decades for new weapon systems?
I’m on a search to figure out America’s first semi-automatic sniper rifle. I know the M-1 Garand was used as a marksman’s rifle in WW2, but its primary use was an infantry rifle. Does anyone know the first semi-automatic sniper rifle designated to the role of the U.S. Sniper?
i recently purchased a bunch of old military equipment at a garage sale. i want to know how i can correctly identify what the various pieces of small and large arms ammunition are. they are in decent enough condition as to be able to real most/all of the numbers on the butts. they appear to be from ww1-ww2, possibly USA / German / Japanese , ranging from large rifle rounds to a ‘drill cartridge’ tank rounds (identified).

what the heck do all the little numbers on the bottom mean?
to learn about the pro's and con's of each as well as the biggest mistake all the "heavy artillery" guys make when choosing "terminator ammo"!
