Best places to find military surplus rifles?
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.

Re: Best places to find military surplus rifles?
Thanks for the suggestion, but I was actually just on the phone to them today, they didn't have anything I'm after besides a No.4 Mk.1 aaargghSixshot6 wrote:Try Henry Kranks, they deal alot with NI, ROI and Isle of man. http://www.henrykrank.com/index.php?main_page=indexmarkd290 wrote:saddler wrote:...in my cabinet :)

M39 = no chance.
