Surplus rifles?

[Mosinowner]

Anyone know a cheap surplus firearms? Under $200? (Besides a Mosin of course.) If you could include the link for a website that has them, that would be helpful also.

Should be able to get into a Turk Mauser for the $200 range, got a few on gunbroker

If you look at gun shows you'll find an sks for around $200

You can find some Steyrs and Carcanos for under $200. If possible, I'd say save up a little more and you can get into an Enfield ($250ish). If you don't have one yet, you are missing out! I've got a no. 1, no.4, and a no. 5. I'm partial to them over the soviet rifles.

Deals at gun shows are out there on surplus rifles, just be aware that ammo isnt always readily available for all of them. My favorite bolt action surplus rifle has to be my Arisaka, but 7.7 jap isnt something that you can always find at the local hardware store.

Also looking for handguns. Thanks for the helpful info!

Just noticed your age, one thing you may consider is getting ahold of a mosin barreled action and building a sporter. It could be done for under $200, you can make it what you want it to be, you may learn a thing or two, and you won't have to buy different ammo. You may be able to find a good barreled action from a Mauser or Enfield, put a comp. stock, etc. and come in under your budget. Plus, it's kinda fun shopping for the parts!

Thanks, I love my Mosin and my Nagant revoler but I am looking for something new. Maybe something lighter than my dragoon. I like orginals but ill look into it

Yugo Mausers can be found for around $200...so can 98 Mausers. Swiss K-31 are great rifles in that price range as well.

Both excellent choices! A Mauser is a must have.

So is 8mm ammo cheap?

its still cheaper than .308 but i would not call it cheap at all.. but its not unreasonly priced and its a bolt you dont tend to shoot as many as a semi

I was just at Bradis they had Romanian 8mm for $25 for 100, They had yugo 8mm for 90 for $29. At the 1500 The ammo guy was selling a spam cans of Romanian 8mm 340 rounds for 95..


If you are shooting bolt action the Yugo has always been good.. But I have seen some issues with Yugo in a Belt Feed.. The same guy has Turk 8mm ammo for like 70 rounds for $20 or so???? did not commit that to memory because I have read some bad things for Turk 8mm ammo in a belt feed. But may not be bad in a bolt action..

Also Bradis had 3 different Turk 8MM mauser for 139.. in the 1941 - 1943 date range... They were nice looking rifles.. A bit on the heavy side..

I have a turk mauser i bought when i was 18 it was my first gun they well built mausers but they not very collectable is all.... now on the the turk ammo (the nickel jacketed lead core) its the hardest hitting 8mm out there its to hard on any action other than a bolt i bought a case of it 1440 rounds i believe and it cost me 50bucks that was seven years ago and i still have over 1000 rounds of it.... but its not a ammo i would run through my yugo m76... 8mm surplus is pretty much dried up and you going to pay a bit more for it but keep in mine wolf, brown bear, ect... still make affordable 8mm thats non corrosive... Now like every Yugo weapons are tanks very well built and there mausers are fairly affordable there more than a turk but still far less than a nazi marked k-98

I found a good mauser, If I do buy it. Ill do a Mosin sporter build after this.

Russian M1895 7.62x38R Nagant Revolver

i love mine but that ammo is hard to find not terrible in price though (and if you convert it to 32 auto the cylinder is just as much as the gun)

Hmmmm, planning a trip to Bradis Saturday... It'd be irresponsible of me, but would go nicely with my Yugo...

Are the Turks a standard action (98k style) or the "medium" (M48 size)?

I just finished a build on a Yugo M59/66 SKS.

SO...

If you want to build a MilSurp from a barreled receiver like I did, Centerfire Systems has "shooter grade" Yugo SKS barreled receivers for $70... Buy the parts from SKS Man, BuyMilSurp, Numrich, or various other vendors. Build, learn, and fall in love. The SKS is a simple yet rugged milsurp, ammo is cheap, parts are easy to find, and the SKS is a blast to shoot. Just an option.
