I know there's another thread for guns in general, but I thought it would be interesting to start one dedicated to vintage guns specifically.
This is one I just bought off a friend, nothing too special, just a 1944 M38 Mosin-Nagant carbine in pretty good shape. Likely going to order a few packs of stripper clips, a scope mount to replace the rear sight and a long-relief 4x scope, and possibly a flash shroud/compensator, although I'm not sure on that yet. Nice (and inexpensive) start into the world of vintage guns.
I'd also love to get a K98, although I'm working around how to purchase one while living in a state and having a drivers' license from a different state. An M1 carbine would be nice but they're disgustingly expensive now....might try to buy the one my buddy bought and cleaned up, since I don't think he shoots it too much.
One thing I like about the 7.62 stuff is how cheap it is. I bought 150 rounds of Bulgarian surplus for $40 shipped, and my buddy said looking around a bit can net 440-round cans for about $45 a piece.
