M1, LE to steer clear of?
Hi all, I'm brand new to milsurp collecting and have an opportunity to get out to a gun show next month so the idea of perhaps acquiring a Garand or a SMLE is simmering in my brain right now. I have absolutely no knowledge of either rifle nor the various models (Mk.?) in the case of the Enfield, and am looking more for a nice historical shooter than an investment.
Any particular models/years/calibres to avoid?
Anything really obvious/dangerous that I should watch for?
Approximate price ranges for good condition or better specimens with appropriate goodies such as cleaning kits?
Thanks for any advice that will get me started.
