Me and two friends bought three 91/30s from Aim Surplus for $79.95ea. The best part is that since we ordered three rifles at once, we got a discount, $69.95ea instead of $79.95.

That, plus two crates of 7.62x54r (each containing 1080rds for $140ea) and we are set for life.

Collecting and shooting old firearms is the best of hobbies.

My current collection:

- M1 Garand, Springfield Armory, barrel date April 1955
- M1 Carbine (Inland)
- M91/30 Izhevsk 1942 (laminated stock)
- Hungarian M1944 Mosin-Nagant carbine (my first gun, bought in 2001 for $50)
- Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III, Australian Lithgow manufacture 1926
- Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I, British manufacture June 1943
- Lee-Enfield No.5 Mk.1, British manufacture August 1945
- Mauser Kar98k, manufacturing code "dot" from Waffenfabrik Brno, 1944 Russian captured example
- Steyr-Mannlicher M.1895 carbine, Steyr manufacture
- Webley Mk.IV .38S&W, 1955 manufacture
- Colt M1911A1, 1942 serial number range
- Rhodesian FN FAL kit built on Imbel Type III receiver
- Romanian WASR-10 semi-auto AK-47 clone
- Czech Cz-82, Makarov-style 9x18mm (GREAT pistol)

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting a Mosin-Nagat carbine from Big 5 to hunt hogs with.

I'll also note that this is based on Colo's own suggestion here. Not a bad one, I'll add.

EDIT: Ta-da!

Though $149 bucks, and being more expensive than the read deal, is ridiculous for a Chinese knock-off carbine.

Nice collection.

I have checked with him and it is the M1891.

Okay APDAF, that's always cool to hear. Back to the gun's, gents and ladies.

Or for that matter, Britain.

It's still a pain in the ass for me... they have to be shipped to a local gun dealer (not right to my door), I have to fill out paperwork to buy them, and I can't buy automatic weapons... only semi-autos and bolt-actions. Ridiculous.

It's quite upsetting to me that I, as a law-abiding U.S. citizen, can't own a Solothurn 20mm, Boys anti-tank rifle, or Vickers MMG without a bunch of paperwork and tax stamps. Does my government just not trust me or something?

Are you whining or bragging? You actually can legally own large caliber automatic weapons, it's just not as easy as grocery shopping.
