I recently received my C&R and am fascinated by Milsurp rifles, I have still not made a purchase and am hoping you folks could give me a little push.
I ask that you please back your opinion (I prefer to not get comments like I love Mausers with no substance) also if you wouldn't mind, throw out what you think would be a fair price, I know all collectibles are valued essentially by the individual but it is good to see if I'm in the ballpark with others.
I have been considering an M38 Mossin Carbine, I like the caliber and the lack of a bayonet, I also think with the right furniture these rifles are a sight to behold.
I am interested in German mausers but more for the history then anything, so I find I am always looking at the ones with all markings intact. That seems to add to the cost and I'm unsure wheather or not I feel it is worth it.
I recently came across the mausers redone by the Israeli's in 7.62 NATO I like the idea of getting a collectable and a .308 bolt gun all in one purchase, also have thought of this with the Ishapore enfield.
I know little to nothing about K31 Swiss guns, and I am sure there are many other rifles that you hard core collectors could suggest. Anyway thank you in advance for any assistance you can render.
