I'm going down past AIM Surplus tomorrow morning.  Say I had $500 to spend... what would you buy?


Also, what would you buy if you were in my shoes:
-   I need at least one M91/30 to help burn up my 800rds of 7.62x54R.  Interested in a really good shooter, would prefer WWII vintage.
-   I already have one M44, but it groups about 1 foot at 50 yards... the crown and rifling are toast.
-   I already have one K31, and I don't shoot it because it costs too much for ammo.
-   I don't yet own a Mauser... but then again, I don't have any 8mm ammo yet either.

Here's what I'd get:

Laminated stock 91/30 ($109)
Regular stock 91/30 ($70)
Savage US Property marked Savage Enfield No.4 Mk1 Rifle ($179)

Battle pack of the Guatemalan .223, Erik from Aim wrote that they are inspecting the battle paks for corrosion, and it is good cheap surplus. ($65 ea)

I'd probably also get a Stag AR stripped lower at the same time, since that is the "hard part" in the AR building process, $99

Guess that ended up being ~$522 + tax.

... $500 will get you a ways at Aim!

I'de love to get a couple more K31 rifles.

I should have noted, I can't get another Enfield.  I have one, and it's enough.  I can't hit anything with it, and I don't know why.

ETA: I'm 20, so I can't get any handguns.

instead of the enfield get alot of 7.62x54r and by alot you can prolly get like 3k rounds for 150

Hey how about one of the yugo mausers they look pretty nice and I would definitly get atleast one 91/30 hey for the price get two I love mine and heck get the finn shooter grade I want one but that mauser got my attention this week so thats what I ordered

Well, I sure am glad I checked back this morning.  I was thinking about the Mauser... but I still haven't made up my mind.  As for 7.62x54R, I haven't burned up even half of what I already have.  When I found out how shitty my M44 is, I stopped shooting it.

Right now I'm thinking:
1 battle pack of .223
Russian M91/30
Laminated stock M91/30
and either a Yugo Mauser or another M44 (preferably one with rifling)

get the mauser
