Help me pick my first rifle, /k/. Here are my criteria:
>Must be semi-auto
>Cheap and plentiful ammo larger than .223 Remington
>Available in reasonable condition (i.e. bullets come out when you pull the trigger) for $400 or less
>Spare parts must be easily available
>Slavshit acceptable but alternatives are preferred
Right now I'm leaning toward an SVT-40 but I want to know if there's a better option. Pic unrelated.

If your not in syrupland SVTs wont be less than 400 bucks, however if your not then just get the SVT and know that I will be eternally jealous of your syrupland imports

Ah. I saw an ad for one going for $310 a while back, should've noticed it was from a hockeynigger site.

Hi Point C9 carbine.

Get a Yugo Mauser.
M48 or 24/47. Doesn't really matter which. I did this for my first rifle. I love it so very much.

>>28426036
And yes, I did read where you say "semi-auto".
I do not care. Get bolt.
>>
>>28426036
I second the Mauser

Chinkshit SKS are what, $300 odd? That's probably your best bet.
don't be a retard and put a bunch of cheap accessories on it though

>first rifle
>not .22
400 is very fucking cheap for anything semi-auto, so maybe get a k-31 or some other surplus bolter. Idk how much an sks goes for nowadays but I imagine theyre still cheaper than 400.

Earlier sino-soviet Type 56s are often beat to hell but well-made, unlike the later stamped Norinco garbage.
Learn how to use strippers instead of hanging shitty tapco 30rd mags that constantly jam and then blame it on the rifle. In stock configuration it's extremely reliable

Buy nugget, grind off locking lugs, screw in the top of the bolt, bungee cord to front sight from the screw. Semi auto and runs 7.62 and cheap

I just got a 5.56 AR for less than $700, just save up some more dosh and get something you really want, don't necessarily just settle.

OP here. So far this sounds like the best option.
My next concern is where to get cheap food for it. Any recommendations?

C9 is the pistol, ts995 is the carbine. blast to shoot, reliable, and ammo is cheap and available at your local Wally mart.
>>
>>28424473
You can pick them up for $200 to $250 in as good of a condition as they come
