Need some help choosing my next buy

[goose2w1]

Hey all. I got $300 and permission from the boss to buy a new toy. I have narrowed it down to these three, and of course some ammo to go with them:

1. Swiss K31, beech stock
2. Yugo M57
3. CZ-82

All firearms are in VG condition. I would hate to buy one of these, but then have the price skyrocket on one of the others, and then kick myself for not buying it when I had the chance. Just wanted to see if there might be any thoughts on the issue.

You can hardly ever tell when one will dry up and the price will inflate. Play it safe, spend more, get all three... ;)

Really, you should get what your heart yearns for. Look at all three and one will surely jump up at you. There are no bad decisions because they will all inflate in price over time.

Order of purchase -

K31
CZ vz.82
M57

The firearm most likely to appreciate is the K31, and $300 is already a good price for one. GP11 ammo is not as easy to find, but there are modern manufacturers of 7.5x55. The vz.82 is a solid pistol and a good value, usually available for low-to-mid $200's, and the ammo is everywhere. The M57 is the next gun on my short list to get. It's a close call between 1 and 2 - to me it depends on if you're more a rifle or handgun person.

I agree with buying the K31 first, as I think the supply on them will probably dry up first. CZ 82 next, with the Yugo last, due to the fact that it seems every C&R distributor has plenty of Yugos at the moment.

Ohhhh yeah! A k31 for sure. This one is Beech.

I kinda want one of those P-38s that are around now for my next C&R. Then the CZ, then the K-31 (ammo still easily available for it now?)

[omahahaha]

I like my cz, paid close to $300 but got it in great condition with extra mag holster and mag pouch. JG has them for $210.
