    I saw no mention of Swedishicon rifles. I've never owned a 91/30 that was worth talking about. I bought junk stuff and I know it. For a M-38, get the Polish.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    This is an easy one honestly [& I'm not being sarcastic either] since it's your last milsurp, change your wording. Buy both & make it your final milsurp purchase.

    I’d look for a Mosin 1891. The old Imperial one. Longer, rough and less available.

    So I ended up going with a near cherry M39... However, then I bought a repro PU sniper. And then a Swedishicon M96.

    I may have a problem.

    It's amazing how that happens, isn't it? I keep saying "I've bought my last Enfield for awhile" then another one turns up...rinse, wash, repeat!

Don't get me wrong I love my m39 but it's not in the same class as a K31. Do you want a 73' Vega GT or a 68' Z-28 ? because that's what you are asking.

    That's the truth! I don't even say I'm not buying another milsurp anymore, even my wife doesn't believe me when I say it, I'm the boy who cried wolf...
