Looking for WWII Rifles
 

I'm looking for either an M1 Garand, Mosin Nagant, or Karibiner 98k. Something cheapish (under $500), and authentic, used in battle if possible. I don't own any relic weapons, but i'm hoping to start out. And something with matching ID#s. Thnx :D

Your best bet for a Garand is the CMP. I doubt your gonna find one under 500, though. Mine was 550, and that was four years ago.

K98s are relatively easy to find. Southern Ohio Gun, for example, has 'em for under 300.

Mosins are really cheap. Also have some at SOG, for 77 bucks.

That sounds like a Russian Capture K.98k. Scorned by many collectors because they have been refinished, they definitely were used in battle and have a real history. And the price is usually right. Right now, M-N rifles are very reasonable, also. Other WWII rifles of note would be the Japanese Type 38 and Type 99, the Italian Carcanos, and the British SMLE and No. 4 rifles. And of course, the U.S. M1903 and M1903A3/A4 rifles are always high on a WWII collector's list.

AIM has $69.95 Mosin Nagants. That is probably the cheapest WWII battle rifle out there.
