Best choice for surplus gun?
I'm looking for a good surplus gun for around $300. I'm open to pistols or rifles. I was looking at a 1895 nagant revolver or a tokarev ttc. Are those durable guns or do you have another suggestion? Thanks.

Isn't that the Czech version of the Russian makrov? If so I was also looking at those.

Buy a Romanian TTC and a few hundred rounds. Then, with the rest of the money, buy a mosin-nagant
But if you just want a pistol, get a CZ-82. Ammo is cheaper than 9x19 when you buy bulk Brown Bear 9mm Makarov. $8.99 for a box of 50.

buy something cheap to feed 82 or makarov would be a good choice as ammo is still cheap and readily available, you'll note that 7.62x25 has all but dried up. i have some and never bought the pistol for it, so i shoot it out of my mosins with a chamber insert. that sh*t really moves! seemed pretty sedate so i took off my muffs but it's loud as hell out of an m44. they say you're not supposed to use it in the longer rifles but at the velocity that stuff moves, i don't see it being an issue. i'll let you know when i try it. another good old pistol option is a walther p1. looks like a p38, shoots available cheap 9mm, and is a good pistol available at a reasonable price.

my vote a SKS or Mosin M-44. i have 4 Mosin 91-30s including a sniper but the M- 44 is more fun to me. the SKS is a ton of fun also. i am getting a Mauser but i will only buy a little ammo because it costs to much to shoot. you need at leas 1 Mauser.

Ok. Ive looked at a few of the recommendations and I thing Ive narrowed it down to either a tokarev, m95 nagant, or star model b. Eventually, I would like to get all of them but for now I think Ill get whichever is available locally to me (hopefully a tokarev). Thanks for the suggestions.

Big +1 to that.
But if OP wants a surplus handgun, a Makarov might fit his bill. If he can score one here in the PRK...

An early Arisaka model 99 with the mum ground might be in that price range. IIRC, I paid $375 for my 99 with the "anti-aircraft" sight and intact mum. Of course, 6.8 or 7.7 ammo is far, far more expensive than surp 7.62x54r, but the Arisaka is far less common on the range.

think he mentioned he wanted a pistol. buy a tokarev or makarov. makarov is cheaper to feed these days, as 7.62x25 surplus has all but disappeared and if not, has doubled in price. still get 9 makarov pretty cheap if you look around. as for making a schmidt-rubin look like that? jesus.... if you're gonna buy a rifle, buy a mosin, be it a 91/30, m44, m38, whatever the first one you come across for cheap in good shape, go for it, everyone should have one. as far as nagant revolvers, neat, but that's because you can watch the slug go downrange to where it hits, lol. trajectory like a frickin' field howitzer because they go like 200fps or something. wouldn't be my first choice.

Not saying that the Com-bloc pistols are "bad", but for a bit more $$, you might be able to get a 50-year-old 1911. This is not that long ago anymore; we're talking 1962 now. Same goes for a S&W .38 Special revolver from the old days, e. g. a "Victory" model or similar. I've seen old ones like that, lost their bluing, got all sorts of patina, etc. for in the $300's.

I would definately go with a Tokarev variant of some sort. They are solid, Browning-style pistols with a great punch. New manufacture S&B ammo is available for about the same price as 9mm. And it will indeed go through most types of soft armor. If you want something other than a purely military gun, I would look at some of the older Colt or Smith and Wesson revolvers. You can pick up nice .38 Special versions for under $200 on gunbroker all the time.
