My Ljungman was my first rifle...Purchased at a local auction 25 years ago. Took my first deer with it(and a couple more) with OTC SP ammo...Winchester and Remington were 14/bucks a box then. Surplus could still be had [but not hunted with] at 6$ for 15...it will cycle them, albeit violently. I lost my orig 10 rd magazine to the OPP (they were correct, I was mistaken) about 10 years ago...for a couple of years, I "single fed it" [try that and keep your fingers!] until I acquired a second magazine. Wasn't until then I broke the extractor....I blame the single feed years, and not the surplus I was sending through it for the damage.

I have one so I'm biased. For cool 'surps, they are very tough to beat. In general, all 'surps are cool...I would not say no to any of your original 3.

If you have to single feed a Ljungman, dont let the bolt slam foward on a chambered cartridge. You open the action like usual with the action cover, chamber the cartridge and you push the cover/bolt carrier foward in the locked position then you unlock the carrier from the cover with the unlocking lever and slowly ease the cover to come in back position. Doing this way prevent any unnecessary stress on the extractor.

Put a piece of good twine in front of the bolt. Cradle the round in the empty mag-well, and allow the bolt to chamber it, slowly, by easing on the twine forward.

I still have all my fingers. The rifle came with extra extractors fir a good reason

Ummm, Lee Enfield? You don't like semi-autos, you don't have a grand for a K98, crappy tire sells .303 British by the truck load. Variants galore if you feel like collecting and local old geezers who remember everything about them for your times of questioning. Just sayin'...

The best bang for your buck is the svt 40, I think they are really under valued right now, the mosin nagant I think will be cheap for a while so I wouldn't rush out to buy one of those and the k98 is getting up there in price so I would hold out for a nice one to put away and one to shoot like a israeli k98 in 308.

Undervalued in Canada, maybe. The US prices for these are outrageous. I don't understand it. One auction ending has an SVT at $750, and still 4 hours to go. Others are priced higher with no bidders.
