Race for my first C&R

[vafish]

So my license arrrived on Monday and I'm wasting no time killing the credit cards and pissing the wife off.

I've got 7 guns on order from 3 different distributors.

Samco, Rguns and Classic.


Who will be the first one with a brown package on my front steps?

Oh the guns are Nagant revolvers, P64, CZ82, Yugo TT, and a Mauser rifle.

Sounds like you are off to a great start! I must have missed the Mosin and sks on your list though....

 

[tsmith1499]

Probably because no vendors have them. Or it was just an oversight on his part. No self respecting C&R holder wouldn't have at least ONE Mosin in his collection. Or more depending on how big your house is. And he only listed 5 but said 7, they must be the 2 missing one's

Mosins ans sks's were purchased before I had a C&R

I have an m44 and a couple SKS.

Or multiples of the same gun.

My 2 sons listed what they want to inherit when I die so I ordered a couple extras.

HAHA Damn you are breaking it in! I thought I was bad ordering 2 in the last 2 weeks.

When you start ordering by the crate, that indicates a real problem.

It's only a problem if you can't stop. And I can stop any time I want to.

Hmmm....

That's a problem.

Now I have a good example of me not being carried away when I get my C&R in. I have to subscribe to this post

I have to remind her that this is much less expensive than when we had a boat and much safer than our friends who have motorcycles.

She's not that mad. I sold 2 AR15s to fund my C&R habit for a while.

I'm still saying that. Lol

I can stop anytime I want to....

yellowsled, I'm thinking of ordering one of the cleaned up SKS's from Robertson Trading Post (My first C&R). Have you dealt with these folks? They have really good feedback on GunsAmerica.com.

I thought I'd ask for a 56 SKS with matching numbers, VG shape and cosmoline cleaned up($20). Am I missing anything here?

I'm guessing even with the cosmoline being cleaned up, I'm going to have to spend some time cleaning it.

Thanks!

I have one for sale....

 

[yellowsled]

Get any of these sks's you can get your hands on. They will be dried up very soon. I sold a couple from my lot and my dads lot on here. Bang for the buck they are worth it. One guy committed to two of mine and I am hoping he follows through here soon. My Amex bill is coming in soon on my AR.

I would not pay for the cleanup as you will still be doing some work to get it in shoot able shape. $20 to wipe it down, no thanks.

i just got mine in from robertsons, i was about to post it, yes, get one from them, they are about the best price of any you're gonna find any more, and they have fast service.


also i admit i went with the cosmo clean up, and i was actually pleasantly surprised, the gun is completely clean with a little oil on the metal, they actually did a great job. the only thing i had to clean was the gas tube, there was some stuck old crud in there, not cosmo that made the piston not move freely.

that was like 5 minutes to clean up, thats one of the great parts of hte SKS design is how easy it is to clean the gas system after shooting.

 

[yellowsled]

They cleaned the bolt and trigger areas completely?

yep, i found a little cosmo residue under the sight slider thats about it, the rest of the gun was totally clean, i was impressed for just $20.
