If you can afford it, buy a Mauser 24/47 or an M48. They are both plentiful and fairly inexpensive right now. Shoot it next to the Mauser, try to compare each with ease of loading (get stripper clips for each) both with clips, and loose shells.
Compare accuracy. Keep the best performer, sell the loser.
Remember, if you're shooting milsurp ammo for Mauser, Mosin, or Enfield, 99% of it is corrosive, and will RUIN your barrel if not cleaned well immediately after shooting.
