I may have asked this before but we have some new members and posters here that are into surplus guns and I've finally decided on my choice.
If you had to choose to collect 1 type of milsurp gun, be it Colt revolvers, 1911s, German Lugers, Mauser rifle types, Mosin rifles types, Garands, etc., what would you choose and why?
Lets face it, collecting is expensive and theres a lot of nice stuff out there for the grabbing. Mosins for example are cheap enough to start with 91/30s and easily drift into rare and expensive Finn models. I know, just ask my credit card companies.
After buying and shooting diferent types though I still have to stick with the SKS carbine.
There's a lot of variants out there that keep the hunt fun, they're easy to work on and relatively easy to find parts for since most are interchangeable, plus I just plain love the design and function they have. Factor in that they've been introduced to a possible ban list and that makes me want even more.
