I'm slowly getting into the military surplus field, particularly rifles from the WWII era.
I have a few rifles that already fit that genre, such as my Soviet M44, Soviet captured K98 (and a post-war Yugo M48A), Swedish M96, British Enfield (Mark 1 #4?) and an M1 Carbine.
My next purchase will be a Turkish Mauser in the best condition I can find, but I plan on purchasing a K31 down the road.
Just what military action did the K31 see in the second world war anyway?
Also, besides the M1 Garand, are there any other suggestions on military surplus rifles of the WW11 era I should consider that are currently on the market that can be acquired in at least somewhat respectable condition (or the ability to be restored)?
Also, does anyone know of any importers still offering the Japanese 6.5 or 7.7 battle rifles?
