So I started collecting firearms a couple years ago, almost entirely Soviets due to the affordability. Have traded up a few times, but my collection consists of a well rounded budget shootable type.

Mosin repro sniper. Epoxy bedded, free floated, Finn style trigger kit. Got it shooting like a champ.
Svt-40 mixmaster, very nice wood and metal and bore.
M38 mosin little beat up, character piece.
Polish m44 minty
Finn m91 very nice.
SKS nice shooter, light refurb me thinks.
Tacticooled SKS
Wartime Tok pistol. Minty.
Soon to arrive legit svt-40 sniper.

I think I've got enough reds. Can anyone suggest some more milsurps to go after in the 400-800 dollar range?
 
That price range limits you a bit, may have to stick the the Euro stuff. Czech, Polish, Spanish. How about Enfields? Still plenty of those around for sub 800, especially the British, Australian and Indian ones.
 
An enfield is on my list for sure no4 probably. Doubt I'd be able to shoot it much till I get setup for reloads. Classic piece of war machine tho.
 
I like the look of vz52's plus I like not having to change calibre. I'm in on a type 81, so if it ever arrives an SKS D might never get used... But who knows, I might not be able to resist.
 
VZ 24, K31, Swedish Mauser, Ljungman 42, Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk1, No. 1 mk3, and No. 5 (Jungle Carbine), Krag (tough to find unmolested), if you are willing to go above 1k then add a Garand into the list. Carcano and Steyr are around but I don't find much attraction in them and tough to get ammo for.
 
I think I'm gonna nab an enfield next followed by a couple Swiss miss's. Gotta dial back the number of acquisitions, so that should keep me busy this year.
 
no kidding, im still on 1 mag for my tok pistol. Also need to find a scope and mount for that sniper svt-40 in the mail. Chinese type-81 chest rig. probably should get a commie star hat for cold range days eh comrades!
 
I really should get a few more crates of ammo too. into my last crate for all my calibres. The tok crate will likely last me half a lifetime tho.
 
Lots of different mausers out there. My next milsurps will be a k31, swedish mauser, and a 8mm or 7.62x51 mauser. turkish, chek, israeli or something like that.

Corwin Arms has nice tok mags, good price for multiples. Try to get yourself a yugo 59/66!
