Thanks for the replies. I started my collection with mosins. Then bought a M95 styer. Now my most recent was a bubbad 1903A3 rifle that I restored to original. I have now been convinced the next two surplus rifles need to be an Enfield and a swiss k11 or k31. Thanks for the writeup chalupacabras.
Yes the Enfield is my decision. There is someone selling several of them in the WTS part of this forum but I cannot contact him as I dont have 50 posts yet. I will be on the lookout , maybe i will see if beech grove has any.
I am not worried about ammo as long as I can get brass I reload my own. So it looks like the Enfields and the Swiss k31 are the preferred guns. I think I will start with an Enfield. Thanks for all the replies.
I collect WWI and WWII bolt actin military rifles. I am pondering my next purchase and wanted to see what everyone else thinks. All the guns that I am considering seem to be in the surplus market and close to the same price.
Enfield rifles
Spanish mausers
Turkish mausers
Swiss rifles
