Finally got my C&R!!

[Fd3stt]

Just got my C&R in the mail yesterday. A little over 2 months time from the $30 fee hitting my bank account and the license hitting my mailbox. I was starting to get worried and almost called on Friday to see what was up. I got side tracked though and ran out of time to call.

Now it's a race to see how quickly I can empty the bank account in search of all my favorite new toys!

My wife will be so happy!

Congrats! My opinion...a couple of great first buys are a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 or M44 and a Tokarev TT or T-33. Graf and Sons (grafs.com) is a great source of ammo for your Russian, Romanian, Polish, and Chinese relics.

Mauser. Yugo. SKS. Moseen. Southern Ohio Gun. It's a great place to start...

I'd love to get an SKS. I want a semi-auto sporting rifle without the stupid Maryland rules around AR-15s.

Welcome to the club.... my C&R has been a significant drag on our discretionary income.... still feels naughty getting guns shipped to the house... I LIKE IT.

Yugo 48's are a buy now in my mind. I like the P64's and CZ82's a lot but they are not bargains now.

Maybe Trump will ease things up on Russia and we'll get some additional things from them.

Keep in mind the 50+ rule and carry your C&R with you when you travel. Never know when you may wonder into a small shop somewhere which has something you "need". Then, you can mail it back to yourself.

The 48s are definitely the best bang for your surplus dollar.

Congrats! And you've already been given good C&R acquisition advice by others.

My questions are "where do you plan to put your new gun safes" and "does Mrs. Fd3stt know this yet?"

Awesome and welcome to the C&R world. If you are new to the game there are a few good guns out there to be had. I also hope Trump opens the flood gate to allow many more guns available.

I recently got an Yugo M48 and is now my favorite C&R gun, built like a tank. SKS and then Mosin.

This, big time. Always have a copy in your wallet.

What's the "50+ rule"?

 

[GunnerGunz]

50+ means you really are not a collector unless you have over 50 C&R guns

seriously, "50+" years old automatically qualifies a gun as C$R.

 

[Biggfoot44]

"Normal American guns" 50yrs old are also C&R , not just Milsurp. And keep handy your S&W and Colt reference works, as all dealers may not be up to speed on dating.

 

[somd_mustangs]

"Any" gun not just American

The consensus of MDShooters is that it will not take long at all. (And I very much resemble this remark!)

Welcome to poverty, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

If you are going to get a Mosin-Nagant, let me suggest getting one to mod and one to restore. On YouTube, iraqveteran8888 has some great videos on the Mosin.
