You can buy new production bolt guns with accuracy guarantees cheaper than you can get any rifle on this list and the sks has climbed up to match or exceed entry level ar15s in price. If you are younger than 35 you completely missed out on the surplus market and if you are younger than 45 you were only around for it's last dying gasps.

The pressure levels have not changed for the .30-06 cartridge since the cartridge was standardized. You are obviously confusing the cartridge max chamber pressure with the pressure buildup within the gas piston tube, which in the case of the Garand cannot be modified and which is designed for the narrow range of gas volume created by the standard 30-06 military cartridge of the day, which fired a light for caliber projectile of about 150 grains and therefore the bullet exited the barrel before significant gas pressure could build in the gas system. Many modern .30-06 cartridges use bullets of much heavier weight which leave the barrel much more slowly and therefore the gas pressure can overload the piston. They make adjustable gas plugs so that these cartridges can safely be fired through Garands by replacing the standard fixed pressure gas plug with the adjustable gas plug.

My tip? Avoid old Mausers that were converted to NATO 308. My Model 95 Argentine had this conversion, the armorer who performed the conversion drilled out the receiver end of the barrel, and silver soldered an insert in the hole that would accept the 308. At the range, after about twenty rounds, the silver solder began to melt and fouled the insert, making the spent brass almost impossible to extract.

@@chuckschillingvideos Yep. Unfortunately I’m no child. It’s exactly what the US did with the adoption of the 5.56 round.

We patrolled in Vietnam with 5.56 for the M16’s and 7.62X51 for the M60’s, a different caliber for rifle & machine gun. There was plenty of time to debug the .276 cartridge. It was developed in 1923 after all and MacArthur’s final nail in its coffin wasn’t driven until 1932.

My best advice, being a firearms enthusiast and someone who works at a FFL dealer, is this: Regardless of what gun you're looking for, be it just a regular civilian hunting rifle or a milsurp, make sure that you can find a steady supply of ammunition for it. I've had several customers come in and ask for 9x18 9mill, and I have to tell them that we have never carried that ammo. That being said, there are a few places online where you can get some of the more rare ammo types. As far as a recommendation for what I typically have on the shelf for rounds, 9x19 9mill, .45ACP, .30-06 and .308 are the ones that I almost always have. We have a decent supply of other rounds, but admittedly there are some holes. And we have some things that just aren't moving because of the price point as well as the fact that where I live it's a rare or exotic chambering. Case in point we have some large bore Weatherby ammunition. We use to carry 303 British, but I haven't seen that in a while. So, long story short, as I said, before you buy, make sure you have a steady supply line for the ammunition. If you don't, you might not be able to get as much use or enjoyment out of your firearm.

The Closest I've gotten to Surplus is, building an EBR out of an M14

No you don't. You don't have an M14. Anyone who owns an actual M14 (and there are extraordinarily few of them in private hands) would never destroy its value by modifying it to anything other than its original condition. You might have an M1A, but you don't have an M14.

15 years ago you could get a Mosin and an sks for around $50 each. No more will you get that price on any gun. Hell can't even get a decent bb gun for $50 now

Sorry, none of those used Mil Surp guns are sold cheap any more. Just get a modern one for the same price.

Some sellers of surplus firearms are overpricing them and making them almost as expensive as new commercial firearms.

A true surplus Browning Hi-Power in Canada I've seen go for $2000 plus. I started collecting Lee Enfields. The mk3 (ww1) and No4 (ww2) are plentiful yet prices have risen. Ammo is hard to find and reload for these days, but wow what fun pieces of history. Sporter variants are much much cheaper then their military configuration but can be reverted back, in most cases, if the barrel hasn't been cut.

My Lee Enfield was like $125? .303 is impossible to find, normally $2ish a round, it's so much fun though.

@@DatBoiKellz I was looking for one from the Canadian Rangers. They were gifted theirs when they retired their rifles after getting their new one. Struck a deal with a guy for a Longbranch No4 mk1*. Couldn't pass up the price...slightly more then what you bought yours for. Had the bug ever since. Prices have sky rocketed. There are two gun shows coming up next month where I am, maybe ill find a good milsurp still reasonable.

@@DatBoiKellz I lucked out. They are like hens teeth to find. I put the word out and lucked out. Almost like it never saw use of any kind. A little bit of water marking on the buttstock from 70 years of living in Labrador is the only "damage" on it. I jad to pop in a $20 ejector spring and she was mint. Unfortunatly I've seen loads of old no4 mk1* and no7 .22s being allowed to the scrap bin. Such a pity.

Yes, it may be "surplus" in the sense of it once being a military issue firearm, but it's not available any longer (and hasn't been for many, many years) in the sense that we think of as surplus (ie you can easily find them with other surplus military weapons at a gunshop and it's being sold for a reasonable amount).

Do you watch your videos before you release them? You showed 4 different Enfields in the M1917 section, none of which were M1917s.

I'd go with the M1 Carbine over the Garand. It's smaller and less weight makes it perfect when on the move. The .30 caliber round gives it a much lesser recoil. With magazines it makes it the perfect military rifle to have. M1 Carbine and SKS all the way

It's a peashooter firing a pistol cartridge. I'll trade recoil for terminal performance all day, every day.
