[QUOTE="Furious_George, post: 873932, member: 3263"] i'd check to see how cheap you could get the ammo for those guns locally first and atleast handle or shoot a couple of them before making the purchase. army surplus stores usually have pretty decent milsurp ammo prices. if you get the nagant, i'd try and steer away from the urethane coated steel cases and try to get atleast copper washed cases. the urethane ones tend to stick in the chamber. honestly, i'd try to get an enfield. i've shot mausers, nagants, enfields, and a ton of other bolt guns and the enfield is just so much more fun to shoot. it has a pretty unusual cock-on-closing bolt which is typically faster and smoother than the standard bolt type. and i usually get ammo for about 20 cents per round (without even buying in bulk). might try hitting up a range and seeing if somebody would let you shoot off a couple rounds. i'm always more than happy to let somebody fire mine off.
