What C&R Rifle should i buy next??

[emcon5]

I wouldn't mind a Czech k98, what do they go for money wise?

OK...I'm going to put in one more good word for the Swede Mauser and then give it up.

If you want an all-matching, excellent condition, blindingly accurate Mauser rifle, with decent sights for $350-$450...get a Swede Mauser.

Here endeth the sales pitch...

My first Mauser, wonderful rifles. I still kick myself for not getting a M96 when Big 5 was selling them for $99. And I still REALLY want a M41b

Not really refurbished, more like built.

Aren't they built off of drill receivers?

Yeah, but how the US converted them to Drill rifles, it really doesn't mean anything. The just tack welded them in a couple places, which had no effect on the strength of the action.

They are original actions, with refinished stocks, and a new barrel.

I don't know. The ad doesn't mention that.

My next purchase is going to be a K-31, should have it next weekend, they are getting harder to find but I tend to agree with the above posts, the swedish mauser is an awesome piece, I have 2.

The ones AIM sells are from Gibbs, I believe. Gibbs does use reclaimed drill rifles. They have been selling them for a long time, and I have never heard of any problems with one.

There was some discussion of the subject, including a statement from Gibbs here:

Instead of me giving you ideas on what to get with your C&R, I can give you this idea. Follow your heart with curiosity and read up on the weapon of your choice. No matter what it may be, it will have it's own uniqueness.

I would LOVE to own an enfield. whats the best one to own? I don't want the M1917 enfield. I want something like a NO4 MKI or MKII what do you reccomend?

The No4 MKI have the Battle sights. Flip for 300 or 600 yd.

The MkII & III have a nice flip up adjustable sight 100-800+ yd. Easy turn knob screw adjustment. Much easier to shoot IMO.
The Bores are bound to be better in the newer ones too. If it has an FTR stamp on it & looks newish, you probably have a real keeper. FTR = Factory Thorough Rebuild.

I think id rather go for a k-31 if I want a swiss rifle.

If you want a Swiss rifle, you should go with a K31 or maybe a 1911. If you want a Swedish rifle, the Swedish Mauser is the way to go.

Nice collection

[bruceflinch]

Sweet collection! Welcome to CGN

[Latigo]

Very nice collection!... and Welcome!
The best way to find the true average of a rifle type's perfomance is to watch the shoot results at Quantico and Camp Perry.
The Enfields haven't been ahead of the k31s or even the 1911s at all, and generally speaking, the 1911 (in the hands of a shooter) edges the k31s most of the time.

Dang you Latigo!
Now the OP has another thread, looking @ 2-K31's for $299 each!

Nice collection

that's like bringing Megan Fox to a party and your friend says "nice date".

I LOVE that polish Kar98. I would guess that's the most valuable in the collection.
