Default War Rifles

I Have a Killer Russian Mosin Nagant 91/30, and a US springfield m1903 from WW2. I enjoy these blot action guns from the great war. I would like to get the British lee 303, and a German k98 mauser to complete the colection.
Anyone else have any historic rifles?

Got my uncles M1 carbine from the Korean war.
Bought my dad a M1 Garand last year or so.
I love the old battle rifles, if only they could tell their stories.

Made several long range cold bore shots with the Garand over 650yds. My favorite rifle!

I've got a couple Swedish Mausers in 6.5x55. Got my first moose with one actually. Couple Lee Enfields, a 1mk3 and a #4. But almost every Canadian gun owner has a .303. Like to pick up a Garand and a 1903. May get a Mosin, for $100 that's hard to beat.

Whats this I hear about up in Canada if you have the right license you can buy a Full auto right off the shelf, brand brand new firearms, not this Dealer sample BS that we have???

Only reason I ask is because a gent on the gunboards is a Canadian dealer and he just bought a brand new Scar and LWRC both rock and roll type.

Maybe I worded that wrong, not a dealer but if someone had just the right license?

EDIT - Deleted my old post because I looked into it. If he's a licensed armorer he can own and shoot whatever (at a licensed/approved range only)
