I have owned 2 Mausers (1 German made during WWII, 1 Yugo M48a), 2 Enfields (1 No5mk1 jungle carbine, 1 ishy jungle carbine in .308), 2 AK's (1 Saiga 7.62x39 unconverted, 1 MAK-90), 2 SKS's (1 Yugo M59/66, 1 Russian Tula), 1 Mosin 1938, and 1 Swiss K31. Of all these rifles mentioned, I kept the yugo M59/66 sks (upgraded to tech-sights) and the Ishy Enfield in .308, I sold the rest. I swear, I will never buy another surplus gun again! These rifles were expensive to service, the ammo can be hard to find, the sights are terrible. I am only 23, but have had 25 or so rifles, pistols, and shotguns pass through hands and have held on to 6 total. I know I prbably sound crazy, but if I could do it over, I would have gone for quality instead of quantity. I would have bought commercial new or used instead. Anyone else have similar experiences or did I happen to find a bunch of lemons from around the world that couldn't shoot for crap?
