Bruce lived in the slums back then.
NOW . . . he is a "gentleman farmer" with a huge estate and migrant workers.
For me it would be the M1 Carbine or the M3 "Grease Gun". Neither of which do I own but have "some knowledge" of the use of. ---- SAWMAN
I fired a M1 Carbine a couple of times. Handy little rifle. Never got to shoot a grease gun but that would have been awesome. I guess as semi auto surplus goes I am curious about the SVT40 or if somehow a semi version was found, a FG42 or STG44
Working replicas of the Nazis' storm rifle, widely considered to be the world's first assault rifle, are now being produced in the U.S.
"It's been a surprise hit with us," said Mac Steil, co-owner of Hill & Mac Gunworks in Georgia, which has taken orders for 2,000 rifles since the product launch in January. "We sold more rifles the first day than we thought we'd sell all year."
Hill & Mac Gunworks, a startup in the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta, is reproducing the STG 44 Sturmgewehr, which was developed for German soldiers in World War II. The German word "sturm" means to storm, or assault, and "gewehr" means rifle.
"This German STG 44 is where the name 'assault rifle' originated and it's the first one to be widely used," said Jim Supica, director of the NRA Museum in Fairfax, Virginia, which has an original Sturmgewehr in its collection. "The Sturmgewehr 44 was the predecessor of true modern assault rifles such as the Soviet AK-47 and the American M-16."
The original Sturmgewehrs are valued by gun enthusiasts and history buffs, selling for tens of thousands of dollars. Hill & Mac is selling its reproductions for $1,799.
Steil co-founded Hill & Mac in 2012 as a manufacturer of steel targets. The Sturmgewehr is its first gun. Steil said that he wanted to produce something unusual.
Yeah surplus has dried up unfortunately. 06-07 there were plenty still around but I was a lowly SSG at the time with bills to pay. Everyone always talks about the girl that got away. I lay awake at night thinking of the collectors rifles that got away lol.
This shop imports a lot of mil/LE surplus firearms. CLARIFICATION: Just a potential source, not an endoursement.

I really do not wish to talk ill of any shop or business.. But I would research what you were getting from Classicfirearms before you jump.. Many times you can get the guns cheaper on GunBroker.. And then Classic has released a batch of k98s that were billed as proper k98s and yet up close you could see near perfect wood cartouches as well as some possible rebluing and capture x removals. you can look at this link. Form your own opinion.

Also I have heard from several different sources that the guns they received had real crappy bores.. Again not ripping the company but a heads up is needed..
I had the bad experience with my 6.5 Carcano carbine
The best mil-surp was my numbers matching M1 Garand
Took a few bucks and one doe with it before I screwed up by letting it go when I was hard up for cash.

I hear you on that. I believe many of us have let go of a few arms when in need of money to make ends meet for the family. Myself included.
What was the bad part of the carbine if you do not mind???
