That is a very solid list honestly. I would love any of those rifles haha I like the idea of a 'under 300' video. Carcano, Mannlicher, Vetterli, Enfields, gras, sporter rifles, 22LR training guns, various mausers, ect
spent 500 on one recently, with bayonet and strap and cleaning kit. made my eye twitch as i remember buying my first one with all of that for 70 bucks. thanks obama
Love Swiss straight pulls. 7.5 Swiss 7.5x55 is an awesome round. I used one on a deer hunt in the valley in 2021. Soft point 7.5 Swiss and the deer drops. Granted we’re talking the woods so shots are within 100 yards or less, much less. I LOVE K31’s. Reminds me of growing up when everyone in school had to have k Swiss shoes. As adults, have to have Swiss K rifles.
Great list. Definitely on the Swiss and Italian rifles. I finally rolled the dice with RTI and purchased a M 38 Carcano. They now list many of them individually so you can see what you are getting. Now to find some ammunition for it.
If you've never had a Portuguese verguero model 1904/39, I highly recommend one. It's a really cool rifle and the example I have is just about the most buttery smooth action I've ever encountered. Kind of a cross between a Mauser and a mannlicher rifle. Originally in 6.5 Portuguese but later chambered in 8mm Mauser.
I recently found one on Gunbroker going for $425 as the starting bid. I am new to gun collecting and don't know if anyone was looking for one. It only has 2 days left in the bidding. What sites would you recommend for a new gun collector like me, as I don't like bidding and tend to be outbid by a lot of money?

My local gun store got a lot of Portuguese Mausers in a month ago and they only want $449 for them. I was there last week and they had 20 on the shelf and said they had more in the back. I got one a month ago and might grab another one.
The CZs are the best deal for a mil surp pistol out there especially the CZ-52s. The Czech army used them for decades but I dont think they saw much combat or abuse and spent most of there lives in armorys and holsters because they are probably the nicest Mil Surp pistols I have ever seen.
Some good choices for todays market. Always try to go to small town gun shows. That's where the best deals on surplus are in my experience. Picked up a nice 1898 Krag with a great bore for $450 two weekends ago.
Just was at a show last weekend and one guy had a 1931 made M1916 Spanish Mauser in 7mm for $275. Unfortunately I couldn't justify getting it, maybe I'll be lucky and it's on the table in January when I go next time.
You’re in Ohio too there are some great shows to find good milsurps there when I visited i picked up a type 99 Arisaka with mum for 300 out the door. Plus my ffl fee of course
Yeah, I live in the Cleveland/Medina area and all we got gun show wise that I'm willing to travel are the ones in Berea and Medina. Lorain County Fairgrounds had one, but Covid killed the return of it since I haven't seen anything since then unless they moved it somewhere else.
I got the first m937b centerfire sold stared at the website for days waiting for them to come online lol the individual listings with matching bayonets. I got a perfectly blued rifle with a couple dents and dings on the stock. But all markings are present amazing piece.
Have you gotten a Portuguse M937B K98 yet? These are some really nice rifles, I have a few of them. and all with good bores and and in very good condition. I think it would be a good video. I estimate that only 600 of these rifles were imported.
I was lucky to get my Mosin' s for 89.00band my K31 for 249.00. 149.00 for my Carcano Cavalry Carbines. Found a 91/30 sniper minus the scope but it still has the mount for 275.00 at an estate sale.
I have a Russian Makarov Pistol and would recommend one or the Bulgarian model if you can afford one… 9x18 is very close to 380auto and the ammunition isn’t that expensive
Went to my 2nd gun show and I traded a s&w model 17 (Brazilian contract) for a swedish mauser which I've been wanting for awhile so im pretty happy with my trade
Mine shoots really low too. I have to put the base below the blade of the front sight in the rear notch to make it shoot to point of aim. Really disappointing. I would have expected more out of the Germans.
ed device arms? man you have got to speak clearly so someone can understand you that website that lists rifles individually sounds amazing but i dont think even the cc knows what you are saying
be carful w tokarovs the safeties are dangerous because it only blocks trigger NOT sear or hammer and not fire pin block and half cock worthless carry empty, i dropped one and it shot me with safety on and all safties failed
Slow down a bit as you talk too fast alot. When you reference the business/firearms dealer at minute mark 4:18, I can't even understand what you are saying. I think you are trying to say edelweiss arms, but practically all decent swiss long arms at edelweiss arms are going to be well over the price range of $400-$600 you reference. Also, I wish you would stop plugging RTI as they sell a lot of junk. You even have videos showing where RTI sells junk.
I'm not paying more than $250- for any guns, more than that they can keep them. If all the smart americans do that, those rip-off prices will go down immediately
So glad I started collecting 25 years ago...
You know what? I was only 3 when you started collecting. 25 years later, I don't like you!

100% agree on the value of these rifles. Excellent shooters.

Just picked up a beautiful K11 , non import last week for $ 300.00 , great deal ! Keep the surplus review's coming !

Yeah those are 300$ max

Hunters lodge has Spanish rifles for like 150$ if you want to deal with them. I wouldnt spend more than 300-350. I agree with the above statement

and now for the Canadian List!:
great content as usual will def be looking around
Hey Ready you got the top 3 for sure. I just found a WW2 P38 at an estates sale. UNREAL find. THANKS for showing.

The yugo M48 is still fairly affordable as well coming in at a round $400-$550 for a good condition rifle.
Awesome stuff man. You have done made me pick up another rifle lol

Keep up the great content, it is so nice to be informed and taught by someone who is into it by passion and not financial gain.

Those straight pull back bolts look scary! It looks like a failure will cause the bolt to pull back hit your eye! Going to look for the p38s.
Traded mismatched p38 spreewerks for sks , collapsible stock , and three high capacity mags
Very cool RR. Good info. Drop me A line sometime. Peace, John. Happy Thanksgiving!
Went to my 2nd gun show and I traded a s&w model 17 (Brazilian contract) for a swedish mauser which I've been wanting for awhile so im pretty happy with my trade
Where'd you get that 155mm Artillery Shell?
gotta go w/ xtreme cavitators
to make 32acp highly effective
I couldn’t make out the company you said had the Swiss rifles. Can you include a link?
Links are against TY rules
Have any of you with c&r licenses ever been audited by the ATF? I just got mine and am just curios about how often they audit ffl 03 holders
Man, my bank account can't handle this
I got my p38 right before they imported more recently 🙁
Were the Post war 38s still used by military or are they commercial?
Genuine question. Are milsurps actually worth buying when you can buy new guns for often cheaper?
If you’re just looking for a gun to shoot, not really, but it depends.
Funny you say the p-38 shoots super low, I had the same exact experience. I ended up just selling it lol
I have a 1943 AC43 P-38. And at 80 years old, it's the best 9mm I own
Mine shoots really low too. I have to put the base below the blade of the front sight in the rear notch to make it shoot to point of aim. Really disappointing. I would have expected more out of the Germans.
Too bad the GP-11 ammo isn’t readily available anymore.
I just grabbed 120 rounds of GP-11 at an auction for $110 total. Two sealed battle 60 round battle packs. I’d say that’s a nice score.
i got an email today from RTI for matching numbers K11s for $400
I'm curious as to what the rest of your room looks like?
I got myself a K11 not too long ago, I am afraid I have been bitten by the bug
Swedish m1996.
Lets not overlook the m48 and turk'd mausers, still rather affordable
Thank you for the great reviews and insights into the milsurp market. I'll check out last year's video on where to look for black Friday deals.
hey

be carful w tokarovs the safeties are dangerous because it only blocks trigger NOT sear or hammer and not fire pin block and half cock worthless carry empty, i dropped one and it shot me with safety on and all safties failed
A 91/30 is the best in my opinion. The ammo is under $1 and it has a lot of history and combat
Mosins are stupidly priced right now.
Sks's bruh

Lol
Good luck buying anything good.
The only decent guns you can get for $250 or less is a .22 rifle and a Maverick 88. Anything else then that is going to require more money.
With all the great firearms around why invest in outdated military excess ?😮
Because history is cool.
The Carcano was used to assinate John Kennedy. Don't buy one.
Why not?
French MAS 49/56. Should have made your list. Currently get a really nice looking one for $900 from Royal Tiger imports.
Why would it be on the list?
Don’t get an RTI one, their MAS 49/56 barrels are absolute sewer pipes
Why would he put a $900 rifle on a list of guns in the $300-$600 range?
