Hi All

I am a big military rifle fan and my current 'stock list' is as follows:
1917 SMLE
1944 No4
P14 (I think 1914)
M44 Negant 1947 (flame thrower)
1944 K31

My P14 is effectively sold and I am considering selling the No4. Not planning on replacing both slots on the FAC but only the one, so any suggestions for what I could replace them with. I have currently considered G98 (or K98), 03 springfield, No5 or a Long Branch No4. I am not too fussed over the MAS 36 and used to own a Negant with PU scope. Any comments or opinions will be well received! If anyone knows any good sources of their suggestions I would also appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Hi there

Love my G98! Would like another but are demanding high prices!

If you see one get it!

If you want another carbine I can totally recommend the Steyr M95 - link to the one Dromia sold me http://www.pukkabundhooks.com/index.php ... ibre8x56R/

The only downside is sourcing the en-bloc clips - I've managed to acquire 17 (85 rounds ready to go! clapclap )

Be interested in this myself as a WWI buff, very keen to get a suitably dated G98 in the cabinet.....

Recently seen them for around £750-900 mark, have also seen a First World War Karbiner 98a for sale for £550 recently

Don't forget the humble K31

The Springfields are first class rifles, getting pricey but a good investment. The 30-06 is a most excellent cartridge. They make fine cast boolit shooters, my '03 is a keeper and gets used regularly indoors and out.
