Best places to find military surplus rifles?

#1 Post by markd290 »

I'm on the hunt for a few and over here in NI they aren't particularly common. Where do you guys over in the mainland find yours?

...in my cabinet :)

Narrow down what era/country/type - as some dealers tend to specialise in certain models or countries

Some stuff I can find easily, like a decent No.4 Mk.1

Right now I'm looking for Mosin M44, Swiss K31 (preferably with the walnut stock) and a Finnish M39.

There's a few others I'd like, such as a decent K98k, Swedish Mauser and a 1903 Springfield, but I'm in no rush for those at the moment.

There's a ton to choose from
Highwood Classic Arms
Pukkabund Hooks (dromia on here)
CW Classics
The Devizes Gunsmith
Thames Valley Guns (Paul is a fantastic chap to deal with)
Harry Gordon of Section 5 Supply (again good dealings)
EFD Rifles (nice guys and one of the best sources for Lee Enfields)

to name just a few
