Ive found a few decent deals at gun-shows lately on some mil-surps. Ive never really stopped collecting since college and have amassed a few dozen specimens. Try to get a K31 first while you can and a few hundred rounds of GP11 surplus when its available. I just won bolt gun group at a veterans rifle match with my K31 scored 233/300. First time shooting a match and 3rd time shooting the gun. I have at least one of all the guns your after. I don't care much for my Mas36 but you can still get surplus ammo for them. Be careful though 7.5french and 7.5swiss are dangerously similar. I really like my Ishapore 2a enfeild as far as im concerned its the best truck gun you can get. Mausers are always good and there is the ubiquitous and cheap Nagants everywhere. Good deals can still be had on Arasakas and SMLE enfields if you keep your eyes open.
