    Finally came in the mail, I'm considering getting a Mosin, M1 Garand, or a Browning Hi Power. Any thoughts or suggestions about these picks or what another fun weapon would be?

    Totally agree with the Garand, but you can also get into semi auto battle rifles for less money with an SKS. They are definitely fun to shoot.

    M1 most definitely. SKS are neat. CZ52(?) and Toks are cool pistols. I have an FN49 (similar looking to a M14). There is also SVT40s, Hakims, MAS49/56, etc main battle rifles. K31s are very cool straight pull bolt rifles. 1903s. (I like the big bore stuff) Browse the C&R section of GunBroker for ideas.

    If looking for a Mosin and you ever get south of Baltimore, drop me an email. I could stand to sell a few.

    Where they send me.
    The Hi-Power is a great pistol. Bit of $$$ for a nice C&R one though.
    Mags are over 10rds so you have the md moronic issue to deal with there.

    There are many C&R items out there under the 50 year rule besides the surplus stuff which people usually think of first. Takes more looking to find it but it's out there.

    CZ 82 is also a great option (same mag issue) but prices are going up there.

    hi-power is a great pistol. I just bought a seriously pimpin' one to keep my FEG clone company. But as stated they are pricey. A Star B is nearly as nice for a lot less coin. But that's not from the church of John Moses Browning;)

    Ok great guys, thanks for all the feedback. Suprisingly it only took about a month or less to receive approval for my license which was quick compared to what I've heard. I think my hql is gonna take longer than the C&R sadly

    Cabela's in Delaware has half dozen Hi-Powers in their case for <=$499.

    I just sold an MK I at the Timonium show about a month ago.
