M-1s –– both Garand and carbine.
I also have a hankering for a good 1917 Enfield. |

My Russian 1943 91/30 was my gate way drug.....
Now I have 3 Mosins and a Yugo Mauser. I had a 1917 Eddystone when I was 19, but my eyes were not good enough to really shoot it and I couldn't afford to shoot it. Now it's the only gun I really regret selling...... I wouldn't mind having back that Ishapore Arsenal Enfield back too. I might buy a last ditch Arisaka as a conversation piece but not to shoot. |

I love all of them , but I will always have at least one Enfield in the bunch.
Swedes and Argy are just smooth and have that old world craftsmanship. M1 Garands and Carbines along with Ka98k s are just great pieces of history. |

My funnest c&r is a mosin sniper with pu, I think just because of the cheap ammo, relatively smooth lightened action and 3x optic

My kitteh guarding some of my collection.
 I like my K31, it has a great trigger, but my favorite to shoot is one of the several K98 Mausers I have. It is a "27" code ERMA, made in 1940. |

I knew I wouldn't make it in before MvolkJ or 57Strat's awesome collections before I get home from work and take a new pic of mine. So this is a temp placeholder.
My answer is of course, all of them.

Gonna have to go with all of them.
I have yet to shoot a Milsurp rifle that I didn't like, and I've shot a good many of the more common ones. Only ones that really escape me are some of the harder to find semi's. |

Nice carbine there.I like them all except for the Carcanos....Hell, the Finns threw them (7.5 version Mussolini sent them) in the ditch as soon as they could get their hands on a Mosin.

I'm partial to .22 military trainers right at the moment but I did pick up a well worn (nice shooter) Winchester M1 Carbine in a high wood stock last week at a yard sale for $75.00.

I had a buddy take one of his M1 Carbines an convert it to a 45 Win Mag. There was a guy years ago that did the conversions. Tim LaFrance? Yep that is it LeMAG Co.. Nice Carbine.. |

I say the ole' 8mm mausers are great all around hunting and paper shooters. What is your choice? Agree about the mauser. I like the mauser k-98 and the m-1 carbine. I really don't care to own any other milsurplus rifles. I especially don't care for the m-1. I don't know why. I just don't. I would have preferred to carry the m-1 carbine in Vietnam rather than the m-16 actually because I wasn't a front-line grunt in the shit every day. Some of the ARVNs had them as I recall. 8mm ammo is getting harder an harder to find these days.  I don't think many if any countries still use the 8mm.

Enfield 1917...a real smooth operator. I like the 1917. One of these days I'll find a deal on a K98, but I'm not going to rush into finding one. If I could have any rifle from World War II, I'd like a last ditch Arisaka with the chrysanthemum, just because it is an unusual piece of history |

Back in the 80s Dad picked up a Last Ditch at an auction, cheap. We carried that things to gun shows for years until we sold it, for just barely above cheap. Now, like yourself, everyone and their uncle that we run into is looking for a last ditch to round out or add to their collection. Supply and demand at it's finest. ETA. Guns are icky

I was big into mil-surps when I became old enough to buy firearms.
Cheap. Cheap to feed($.05 8x57mm!!!!). Fun to shoot. Pieces of history. The K98k and the No4 MkI were the favorites. If I could do it over I would have saved and bought a nice M1 Garand instead of buying several $70-250 surplus rifles. |
