    None yet unless you count the Wasr10. I plan on getting a Mosin Nagant soon. I don't know if I should go to a local store or wait for a gun show or if I should just buy it off of Buds. Everybody on Buds have giving them really good reviews.

    1943 M91/30 Izhevsk Mosin-Nagant. First rifle I ever bought, got it for $120 at a gun show in Southern California.
    1918 M1917 Eddystone Enfield. The fact it's a war gun, and made at a locomotive factory was all the reason I needed to get this rifle.

    I have a M1903 from 1918 with a "newer" barrel from 1942. I have shot it once. It makes .380 ammo look like a bargain! I am on the lookout for an SKS and a 91/30 to keep the 03 company.
    ...and they have a plan...

    Up until this thread I've not really thought about the subject.

    Currently own a couple of WWII British Lee Enfield No 4s, a Model 1917 Eddystone U.S. Enfield and four (4) M1 Garand rifles among other American martial arms. There are some foreign Japanese and German stuff floating around here someplace that's of no real interest. Had a lot more military long arms but whittled down the pile.

    Realized that I have not fired any one of those particular rifles in probably 30-years. Back when spam cans of 30.06 was abundant and somewhat cheap we'd burn through bandoleer after bandoleer shooting the hell out of old an DeSoto and other abandoned junk cars. In thinking about all these years later, the NATO 5.56 fired from our Colt AR15 rifles ripped through those cars actually much better than the 30.06 USGI ball ammo.

    All original right off the battlefield (not a Mitchells) 1944 K98k Mauser made in Mauser's Olbendorf factory.
    Guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets.
