Btw they will be expensive to shoot, unless you hand load but i am going off topic here. | Yup, buying the firearm is only tip of the iceberg. Ammunition is where you find out that your new hobby of yours isn't as cheap as you thought it would be. I got my license for about a year now, and my first firearm was the SKS. Ammo is somewhat cheap (~$0.18/rd) when compared to .223's (~$0.50/rd).
If you want a WW2 era-type firearm but don't want to hurt the wallet too much from feeding it, the Chinese small arms factory Norinco has a .22LR KKW Trainer clone that is sold for $189 from Marstar.
As for the Lever Arms deal, its a buyers beware. They have various qualities from piss poor to near mint condition firearms. Their customer service is subpar at best and sometimes can be outright rude. Buy there only for the price and nothing else. When you have your license, I can help you pick one from their shelves if you need help picking one (or more  ).

As 2damaxmr2 stated, it will cost you around $250-300 plus the cost of the firearm. But don't plan on bringing one across yourself - unless you like prison time and lifetime ban from the states.

sks is definately a good start for a new shooting.. cheap, reliable, easy to clean, and best of all.. lots of surplus ammo. I also have a Mauser K98.. awsome gun, easy to clean but ammo isn't cheap. Works out to about $2.50 a round.. but now that i reload my own bullets, its much cheaper.

On several of the Norinco i have owned. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are short on fund. Many of them are crude compare to the original. Their 1911 is ok but the trigger needs to be tuned. Military spec SKS is decent but it is not made by norinco.

Hard to find anyone who hates on Norinco 1911's

Any major differences aside from trigger and pricetag?
