| My first guns were a Romanian Model 56 SKS made in 1958 and a Mosin Nagant 1891/30 made in 1938 at Tula. They're both great choices for beginners because they're simple to maintain properly, are very reliable, and they fire cheap ammo. They're also just great rifles for the price. Just make sure you have the headspace checked out before firing the Mosin if you get one.
