Let's talk surplus bolt guns
Re: Let's talk surplus bolt guns
I have two 24/47s, two k31's, 1 no4 mark1, and of course a few mosins.
Get a k31, hands down. if you reload then even better as it is a .308.
absolutely superb rife and great trigger. I think they are all tack drivers.
if a k31 isnt an option then i would probably suggest the 24/47 mauser as a shooter as nearly all of them still have excellent bores and shoot well.

Re: Let's talk surplus bolt guns
Here is something to get you going: http://jpfo.org/filegen-n-z/smle.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Convert a SMLE .303 to shoot 7.62x54R ($79.99/440 rds +$9.95 Flat rate shipping from Copes Dist.)
This is an old article and I don't know if the guy in NM is still around. Somebody local may be able to do the rechamber?
Just trying to help, OE

Re: Let's talk surplus bolt guns
I've got a lot of Mosins. Also have a 24/47, M48, k98 and a M95. The ammo for the M95 is pricey though. Other than that I love them all. Just buy one of each.

Re: Let's talk surplus bolt guns
Just curious..... The native cartridge for the K31 is 7.62x55mm. The .308 is 7.62x51mm. Did you mean simply that you can use .308 caliber bullets, or are there some K31 rifles which are chambered in .308? I don't know much about them, which is why I ask.y5e06 wrote:I have two 24/47s, two k31's, 1 no4 mark1, and of course a few mosins.

Got 3. Looking to expand with a bit of variety before I continue the Kalashnikov sickness.JeepGuy79 wrote:$300 is another AK my friend.
Although I've been looking lately at ditching the surplus bolt gun idea entirely, and picking up a pps-43 and a tt33 to match it, both in 7.62x25 tokarev.

Re: Let's talk surplus bolt guns
how about a AMD 65?
apex parts kit with barrel for $240
https://www.apexgunparts.com/product_in ... ts_id/2567" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Nodak Spud receiver for $85
So I guess $325 plus some rivets and 922 parts.
Could be done with some mags and ammo for $380
I went a little over budget sorry.
I still have 5 romy g kits I bought for $99 with barrels and some nodak econo receivers I got for $40. I get bored and I build one. have 9 together right now. MG47 is coming soon I guess I forget how expensive they have become.

Re: Let's talk surplus bolt guns
An AMD-65 is one of the AKs I already own.
Its a great gun though. I'm a big fan of it.
Like I said, I will eventually be building an AR, I have AKs...I was just looking around to see what else I could get into.
Maybe bolt guns, maybe the subgun and pistol...
Who knows what I'll do.

Re: Let's talk surplus bolt guns
Me too. It is not something that needs an apology. First rifle I bought for myself was a Saiga that I converted back to its "original intent".JeepGuy79 wrote:Sorry, I love the AK's!!!

Re: Let's talk surplus bolt guns
Very very nice!!! Love the folder. I have a saiga 12 and 20 done exactly like that. Love them. You have any AK kits? got an open mind?
Re: Let's talk surplus bolt guns
I have a Polish Underfolder, RPK Clone and a PSL. Not a big fan of the platform, more of an AR guy but everybody needs at least one. I would like a real Dragunov but they are way out there compared to the PSL clone.
