I've been mostly into handguns since I got into shooting and have assembled a small collection of WW I and WW II stuff. I am thinking of dipping my toe into rifles from this period and could use some advice about where to start. I have a SKS but that is it.
So, Lee Enfield....I am thinking about a No4 because of the sights but what to look for?...what would be a fair price? The same questions go for a M1 Garand....what to look for in a "shooter grade"/....what to pay?
I am also drawn to the Suisse K31 The same questions apply. I see them on the EE at $650 and at $1500....what's the difference??
I am less drawn to the K98 simply because of the sights.....57 year old eyes
( I can see the target fine.....notch rear sights at arms length...not so much)
I'm a novice in this area so any help is much appreciated.

I'm not looking to be a serious collector at this point, just own some neat, historic guns that i can shoot once and awhile.
