Well.... you might want ot be a bit more specific.
Using your generic guidelines, I'd shoot for an SKS or AK. The SKS can be had for as low as $150. uses plentiful 7.62x39 ammo. Most come with a bayonet. only drawback is the fixed magazine. IF you want detachable mags, go with an AK. But, along with the detachable mags comes other legal obligations. |

By battle rifle do you mean a rifle firing a full size 30 caliber round like 308 or 30-06 v. a carbine round like the 7.62x39?
Off the top of my head: Saiga .308 AK CMP Garand various Cetme and FAL clones -Century, don't have one, but haven't thought much of the ones I have seen. Off the top of my head I'd look elsewhere like these guys (I have not fired their guns, but unlike Century I am pretty sure they don't actually have monkeys with ballpeen hammers building the guns) -[url]http://www.ohiorapidfire.com[/url] -[url]http://www.azexarms.com[/urkl] |

What type? Semi or bolt? If you want a bolt gun, a Mauser is a good way to go. usually ~$100, and .8mm is cheap and easy. Moisin Negants (and thier clones) are even cheaper to obtain and feed, but I don't care for them.
My choice would be an enfield personally, but they generally cost more to feed. If your talking semi then AK, SKS, or garand would be a good choice. There was a french semi on the market a few years ago- real ugly, but it got good reviews. But then again, it was french so it probably was rude and unreliable, while maintaining a pretentious condecending attitude! |

Well... at least we all agree on one point...
You need to be more specific. [:)] |
