Gun Show This Weekend

There's a gun show this weekend at the local armory and I need some input on my choices for what I'll be looking for. Ok well I really don't need input but I like new topics as much as the next person.

1) AK47, or similar variant:

2) Mauser K98k:

3) Mosin Nagant M91/30:

4) SKS:

5) Possibly a handgun of some sort.

I won't be buying all of these if they're at the show, just one or two. And that's if they're at the show. Should run around $300 tops for the most expensive rifle (AK47) and around $70 at the least (M91/30). Flame if you want, I don't give a shit.

if those mosin nagants and k98k were from WWII era, get them, they are classic weapons, nice to prop it up on a wall or something.

Yeah Nagants are nice rifles, I'm more of a collector than a shooter so that's why it made my list. Most people that collect own at least one. The trick is finding one in decent condition.

#3 is my favorite...everyones got AKs but one of those in good conditions would be something to be proud of...

it shouldn't be that hard to find a workable one. Russia made so many during WWII..afghans still use it today. I got to handle one at an airshow, its awesome

My friend had one, it was nice but the shellac finish the Russians commonly put on their older rifles tends to age badly. Finding one that doesn't have damage much from the shellac, and one that isn't electro-penciled to have matching parts is a little tough, but not impossible. As a collector these things matter lol. If I get one I'm going to try and get one with original matching parts and fair quality.

Im going to go with the AK due to the lifetime and durability. my other choices would be the sks or K98k

For me it breaks down mostly like this:

AK - For cheap ammunition, and modern performance.

K98 - Collector's piece, also a very powerful and accurate weapon. I already own a Czech model.

M91/30 - Collector's piece, cheap to buy and cheap ammunition.

SKS - Fantastic shooter (used to own one), same ammo as the AK so it's cheap, and these rifles are good for their modding potential.

ak-47 is SWEEEEEEEEEET

Grimjaw · **Posted:** Fri Sep 12, 2008 7:01 pm

The Mosin Nagant is a jewel as is the SKS. But the AK 47 is a must have.

Personally i would go for the AK,but i'm not a collecter.

Enjoy whatever decision you make,they are all great Guns/Rifles to have.

I prefer the SKS because it's the only one I ever tried shooting with out of those 4.. well with a yugoslavian pap which is a variant of the sks.

Not that much into guns myself but my dad owns 4 of those paps, they won him a lot of sharpshooting competitions over here in croatia

ak-47 is overrated, so what if its such a good gun, everyone has it and everyone sees it all the time. You're much better off getting a classic like a mosin-nagant

Mauser is a beautiful weapon

or Mosin lol i see u ante the olny 1 that likes guns

When I clicked on this thread, I was expecting some idiot picture with a guy flexing his "guns", but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't a pun

I chose the Mosin, don't bring the AK, there will probably be 100s of them there

ak 47 one of the best all round guns, for most terrains, you cnt argue that fact

Well, it depends on the quality of what is there. Buy any of the options if they are in good condition. Personally, I'd get a Mosin-Nagant over any of the other options but I can't own a gun in Canada anyway (unless it is a hunting rifle/shotgun).

I have the Nagant and the SKS. Love those guns, always fun to shoot...they really are excellent shooters. Great guns for anyone wanting to start to, since the older rifles like the Nagant are cheap, unlike modern weapons. Working on a Del-Ton DTI now.

I remember I wanted to get into target shooting so I went to my local range.

I was shooting some air rifles then they gave my a 12 Gauge.

It was my first time hole a shotgun of that size plus it was old so a bit heavy.

I shot it, the stock flew back and nearly broke my shoulder lol.

I eventually left shooting because it was too difficult to gte a good gun and some good shooting, Australia has STRICT gun laws.

get the moist nuget, if there isn't one in good condition go for the SKS, i don't know of many people who own one.

Well after walking around drooling for about 30 minutes I gave in and bought a WASR-10/63 AK47. I'll have pics soon enough.

Good for you man. I can't wait for some pictures of your hardware, and holding/having something as cool as the AK-47 must be a real blast.

Good Buy.

Yeah it does look nasty carrying it around. It was a little more pricey than I'd hoped at $450 but it was worth it since the package came with a sling, bayonet, mag pouch, 2 30 round mags, 2 bayonet frogs (the thing you put it in to carry on your belt), and a standard but heavily used AK cleaning kit. That and he replaced the bayonet in the deal because the one it would've come with had a stuck release button. The rifle itself is new, but like most imports the gear it comes with is probably surplus/used. No complaints here though lol, I'm probably going to take it shooting tomorrow.

I'll edit this post with pics once I can find the cd for my camera.

That much for a WASR? Got mine for $325 with all accessories

I think part of it is because they just started importing them again.
