Never really considered myself a Milsurp guy, but... this doesn't even include my Milsurp pistols! :d These things are affordable and fun. My brain tends to work on the "get one of each" principle. So, I got one of each of the: Lee-Enfield, K98, Mosin, SVT-40, SKS... still to go: K31, M1903, No.4,Mk.1, M1 Garand, M1 carbine, .... and on-and-on the addiction goes. The tough part is finding decent examples that don't cost an arm-and-a-leg.

Fairly run-of-the-mill 1917 BSA No.I, Mk.III; BYF 44 K98K; 1934 Tula Mosin-Nagant:

More eye candy. Some of these have pretty much killed my gun budget for years to come though. Great firearms, though.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yah, feeding these things can add up - especially 8mm Mauser and .303 British (of the calibre of rifles I have here). I got the Mosin, the SKS, the SVT-40 and the TT pistol about 80% for historical interest, and about 20% because they are fun and cheap to shoot. I should also mention that those four Russian firearms all come from Weimajack here on this website. There always seems to be no end of people trying to sell Russian surplus firearms as something more (rarer, better, more unique) than they really are, with eyerolling prices, but it is nice to have a guy like Weimajack around. The stuff I have bought from him has always been in the cosmo, and when cleaned-up, is as nice as you will find anywhere - and his prices are reasonable and not based on some bizzare fake-scarcity b.s.

I 100% approve Jacques/Weimajack as a great guy to deal with!

Some vids:

This the TT I bought from Weimajack. Not sure why my wife is only shooting two rounds here:

That surplus 7.62x25 is snappy, and the odd one hangfires a bit (split second), but the pistol works, and it is actually decently accuate one you figure out how it works:
 
K98k from the photos (complete with Range Officer trying distract me in the background... but, that is his way, as PCDHFC members know :) )

This is a new video of that AW shown in the photos, for anyone who is interested in that at all:
