Military surplus rifles. Affordable and reliable

One thing a lot of gun owners like to overlook is a surplus firearm. There are a few reasons for this. The parts are harder to find, the guns were used and abused in the military, etc. however, with firearms sales on the internet increasing, it's becoming a lot easier to find parts for these surplus firearms. There are a lot of benefits in buying a surplus firearm, those being affordability, reliability, and collectability.
        One of the most popular surplus rifles used today is the Mosin Nagant. Say what you want about the Russians, but they sure do know how to make a great rifle. These are some of the cheapest surplus firearms (let alone firearms in general) that you can find on the market. you can find a sporterized version of one of these for just a little over 300 bucks. The mosin shoots a 7.62x51 mm cartridge, which is similar in size to the .308. The round is fast, the rifle is accurate, and the ammo is cheap. This rifle will always withstand the test of time in my opinion.
        The Swiss K31 is a very strange rifle in my opinion. It's just goofy to me. It shoots a goofy round (7.5x55mm), it has a goofy action (straight pull bolt), and a goofy 2 stage trigger. The K31 is a descendent to the Kar98k (the sniper the nazis used) as both of the rifles are part of the Karabiner line of rifles. The rifle is a little more pricy nowadays running at 600 bucks or so on gun broker. However, it is a good collectable firearm. The straight pull bolt does take some getting used to, though.
         The Lee Enfield is one of my personal favorite surplus rifles. This has the Mosins' price, the Mosins' accuracy, and the Mosins' reliability. What does it have over the Mosin Nagant? It holds 10 rounds instead of five, It is way easier to mount a scope on it, it has a shorter barrel for better maneuverability, and it shoots the huge .303 British round. This rifle speaks for itself on all aspects. I have owned one of these before and I have regretted getting rid of it ever since. I love this firearm and so would you.
          Surplus rifles are great rifles to buy if you are a collector, a beginning firearm owner, and especially a hunter. These guns will always be affordable and reliable. Honestly I wouldn't ask anything more from a gun. I highly recommend you get into buying surplus rifles, you won't regret it.

Pistols that are perfect for concealed carry

A lot of people are starting to conceal carry nowadays. Even some colleges allow people to conceal carry on campus. A lot of people can sometimes get confused as to what pistols they should carry. Here are a few examples of pistols you can use.         The smith and Wesson m&p shield is a very good pistol for self defense. It fires 9mm bullets. The pistol itself is very compact. you could fit it in your back pocket. The barrel is ported, which works as a recoil compensator. The only downside to the pistol is that it is incredibly loud. It still is a very affordable option for a conceal carry pistol.          The Taurus Judge is probably the most badass of conceal carry pistols. It is a five shot revolver that is capable of shooting either 410 shotgun shells or .45 long colt. this pistol is probably one of the more powerful handguns small enough to conceal carry. It is legitimately scary to look at. It isn't every day that you see a han...

Way back in the day, I bought an AR-15 Academy sports in Topeka, and it was the single worst decisions I could have ever made being a gun owner.

The AR platform is very versatile. People use ARs for everything from hunting, to self defense. this is the first thing you should determine if you want to get an AR, what you are using it for.            Now if you are using you AR for hunting, You are going to want to figure out what you are using it to hunt with.

the Ruger 10/22. yes, everyone has one.

I shouldn't have to tell you what a Ruger 10/22 is. Fact of the matter is, you probably own one. The Ruger 10/22 is the Swiss army knife of rifles. It is such a customizable platform. There are a literal shit ton of models for this rifle.       The Carbine model is one of the more popular versions of the rifle. everyone has seen a ruger Takedown. Wood stock, 25 round banana mag, flip up rear iron sight. It's as standard as standard gets, and it's beautiful. This was probably the first gun you ever got. It's a very good way to start learning how to operate firearms.        The Takedown model is essentially the carbine model with a synthetic fiberglass stock, stainless steel barrel, and stock scope mount. It does the same as the carbine, except I guess it looks more edgy.         The Takedown Lite model is a more tactical version of the takedown. It's meant more for defense than recreation or hunting. there are no stock iron sights...
