Military surplus rifles are great fun. I had a collectors license for 6 years but let it expire last month. In that time, I bought about 15-20 milsurp rifles with it and I shoot them alot. I paid less than $100.00 for some of them, yet they are among my most accurate guns. Obtaining reloadable brass in some calibers can be an issue, but generally you can find most calibers. I shoot low powered cast bullets almost exclusively and minimally resize fired cases so my brass lasts almost forever.
