Finally Sent Off The Stuff For A C&R License

Tired of seeing all the great deals on Mosins, only to have to add a transfer fee on top of them, which makes them only so-so deals.

Just remember that when you're ordering rifles, the more you order the cheaper the shipping will be..

One might be $15 to ship, but if you add another rifle the shipping might only go up to $19, and maybe only $22 with the next rifle..



You poor bastards have no idea what you're in for...

Just go burn your credit cards now..

Say goodbye to all your money and HELLO to a nice collection.
The C & R's are great.
LONG LIVE MOINITIS!

Sounds like you need to use my logic.. Buy 2 of each, shoot one and stick the other away.
And get a K31 while you're at it.. Seems to draw a crowd at the range..

I went to the range today, since it was 50 degrees out and perfect for shooting (what day isn't)..

I had my new Garand and also one of my M44's. (remember, logic) As usually happens when you're shootin' old iron at a range, everyone had to look at both rifles.. The Garand is beautiful, elegant, and damned near sexy, but the stupid $70 Mosin was the star of the show, and even more so after I fired the first round..

Even though the Garand shot better, cost more, and looks nicer, 80% of the questions were about the Mosin..

Get 2.. They're cheap and it'll only cost a bit more for shipping..

Mosinitus? Sounds like I might need a Mosinectomy to separate them from my hands!

Just shows nobody reads my posts (I feel so neglected)

SOG has M38's in,apparently, plentiful supply at this point, for $89.95 (99.95 hand select) Mine is due in on Wednesday, with an M39 in tow. Shipping was $17.50 for both.

They are still out there... but not for long.
