Just wondering how many of us have this military surplus rifle.

I own 3 :)

M38, M44 and M91/30

The M38 is my favorite. My friends have nicknamed it Boomer. Quite a sight in low light with hungarian ammo. Talk about a fireball coming out of the muzzle :D

Fired yes, own no. Like above nice muzzle flash and kicks like a mule.

I just picked up a Finnish M39 VKT made in 1944. Just ordered 2 tins (880) of ammo. This gun is is in excellent to very good condition. Can't wait to go to the range and fire it.

The guy I bought it from has a 1908 Brazilian Mauser and a 1912 Chilian Mauser both 7mm. Ammo is expensive for that one.

I've got a 91/30. Sure is fun to shoot!

Have a 91/30 and M44, as well as two SKSs, but my favorite by far is my Tokarev SVT40.

I actually just picked up a 91/30 a few weeks ago for $99. Made in 1942 and in decent condition for being 68 years old. I shot it last Wednesday and was amazed how accurate it was. I love this rifle. Ammo isnt too expensive. Most of what Ive found was Wolf, Sellier & Bellot, or surplus.

I'll get some pics tomorrow

Remember, a lot of that ammo is corrosive. Run a patch of ammonia based cleaner, or spray some windex down the barrel pretty soon after you get home.

Wondering if anybody bought from aimsurplus or jgsales. And if you did buy their $79.95 Mosin how was it.

Been trying to get my hands on one recently. Shot one a few months ago, if anyone know any stores in maryland shoot me a PM.

I have one. I don't have a lot of mil-surp stuff, but I like my K31 and 98/48 Mauser more then the 91/30. But you have to like the 91/30 for it's awesome crude Russian simplicity.

I order tons of stuff from AIM and they are a great company to deal with. They're my go-to for almost everything.

I've heard good things about their surplus rifles, but never ordered from them.

I've bought new rifles from them, but I have a local dealer that sells mil-surps for pretty much the same price as theirs would be after the transfer fee.

They are one of the most highly regarded sellers in the industry that I know of. They have exceptional customer service if there are any problems at all. I have never heard a single complaint about their rifles. I would buy with confidence.
