1.) cleaning kits/supplies for each gun
2.) Make sure that the clips/magazines/strippers WORK prior to a bad situation, esp. if they are after market.
3.) spare parts kit, esp. for things that are known to 'break'....also, something like a broken shell extractor may be handy to have in a kit.
4.) If there is glass on the gun, I'd keep a camera cleaning kit handy.....has one of those brushes with the bulb to blow/wipe dust away, the nonstatic paper lens cleaners, ect.
I don't know if I necessarily agree with the choice of 8x57, 7x57, and 6.5x55 calibers. While they are great calibers, and while all are commercially loaded, they aren't as easy to find anymore like they used to be (esp. around here)......almost have to special order them anymore. And military surplus is almost unheard of in these calibers nowadays.
Why not a Winchester 94 or Marlin 336 in .30/30? Ammo is usually plentiful & fairly easy to find, easy to reload, has a range of about 150 yards w/ open sights, can lay down almost as much fire power as a garand, is faster than a bolt gun, and has minimum recoil and is easy to shoot.....
Not a 'military gun', but then again, neither is the garand or SK anymore.
