I like really like guns, and when I find quality guns for a low price, I’m more than a little excited. Right now we have a large market of inexpensive Russian surplus weapons, and while some may roll your eyes at these “commie” guns, I think they deserve a second look.
The big three Russian rifles are of course the Mosin Nagant, the SKS, and the AK-47. The AK-47s may not exactly be surplus, but I’ve included them because they’re still inexpensive and, of course, Russian.
These guns are definitely not going to win a beauty contest, but they are reliable, powerful weapons that serve their purpose. All three weapons can stand in for a baseball bat and still shoot afterwards. These weapons were designed for wars when hand-to-hand fighting was still commonplace.
Ammo for these three weapons is pretty common, more so for the AK-47 and SKS (you can buy the rounds at Walmart). Any respectable gun shop will carry the 7.62 x 54R rounds. Russian surplus 7.62 x 39 normally goes for around six dollars for a box of twenty, with 7.62 x 54R going for around seven dollars a box of twenty. By comparison to .308 and .30-06, these prices are ridiculously affordable.
