I just retired from the Army and settled down...now I want to get into some shooting with my son. I was thinking surplus is the best route dollar/fun wise. I've looked around some online but really need some help with some of you who have combed the market. My local dealer is giving me the military brother man hookup and not charging anything to process a gun I have shipped there so good news...just need to find the right deals.
On a side note I took my son to one of the local ranges on the 1st and they had an M44 Mosin. We test fired it and had a hell of a time...I walked out the door with it for $125. I know there must be some out there for cheaper. I want to get him one also. I think I want an M39 or the M91 that has been cut down (I think it's called an M59???) as I want one without a bayonet to take him hunting. Was also looking at buying a couple of other variety surplus rifle but looking to spend in the $100 range as I will be buying 2. Any help pointing me in the right direction is much appreciated. I'm looking to buy a few different varities of surplus rifle for variety if I can find them at good enough deals.
Also what's best deal going on non-corrosive ammo?
Thanks
