Default I've been thinking about an idea for a collection....
...I've just gotten into surplus rifles. I started loading for a friend's 7.7mm Arisaka, then I got a Mosin for myself, and now I have an Norinco SKS. I was thinking that if I got an .303 Enfield SMLE and an Arisaka for myself, I would have four surplus rifles that use the same bullet, if not the same cartridge. Since neither rifle would break the bank, it's possible of even someone broke like me to have a 'thematic' collection. I wouldn't mind having a Mauser, but the bullet is 8mm.

It sounds like an attainable goal, for me anyway.
