Milsurps are really the only guns I have save for 3 modern 22's. My thought process is all of the modern guns will be around just like the milsurps were years ago so why not get the older one's while they're still "affordable". First milsurp was a 91/30 that my girlfriend bought me for Christmas and since then I've been on a collecting warpath. 3 Mosins (2 Russian, 1 Finn) 3 Mausers (1 Czech, 1 Turk, 1 Spanish), Type 14 Nambu and a Type 99 Arisaka, Eddystone 1917, Riot Winchester 1897, Czech CZ 52 and 82, Chinese SKS, French Berthier, Swiss Vetterli 69/71, and the most recent acquisition, a sportered Stomperud Norwegian Krag. There are plenty more on the wishlist, one being a Garand which will hopefully happen this year. The history of these guns is such a rabbit hole which kind of led to the variety in my collection (plus prices I couldn't beat lol)
That's quite a diverse collection. Two questions though: do you have ammo for all of them, and have you shot them all yet to make sure they function? I hate owning a firearm that I don't have at least 100 - 200 rounds of ammo for, and I try to fire everything shortly after I get it. Those requirements have helped slow my desire to buy 1 of everything, simply because the cost of most milsurp caliber ammo is typically cost prohibitive to acquire in bulk.
