What do you collect?

Took me 6 weeks to get my C&R. WGA (the place in the link) will send you an antique receiver M39 with a copy of your driver's license because they are pre 1895 receivers. Just log it in your book when your C&R gets there.
I'm sure someone on here will know the legality of this, but i'm pretty sure its on the level.

Pre 1898 is an antique according to the law. You do not even have to have a license to buy it. All you need to do is send him a copy of your drivers license showing him you are old enough to own an antique firearm. I believe it is 18.
It's called pre-1898, but the actual date is in 1898. Regardless of what model Mosin Nagant you have, if it's a hex receiver, check for the date (on the bottom of the receiver). My M24 Rifle is an 1895 receiver, rebuilt by the Finn's, therefore not a "firearm" in the eyes of the ATF..
I collect anything I can get my grubby hands on!
I'm new to owning firarms, so right now I'm not even in a point where Direction factors into it.
I DO have a soft spot for ANYTHING made (or based on somthing) by John Moses Browning, or anything commie-made.

Re: What do you collect
You need to use standard .310 mosin ammo in your M39. The M28/30 is the one that you need to slug the bore on as they were made with a .3082 bore. Most of them have been worn to .310 during the war and afterwards. I've only seen a few that are still .3082.

Pilgrim, I'm guessing you mean you'll label the bayonets when you have the rifles to put them on. No.1 Mk3 Enfield's are all over the Marlboro show, but finding a good Cetme is hard these days. :? I'm not sure what the bayonet in the upper left picture is off. That one has me stumped.
Milsurps 4 Me said:
The UL one is for my M1 Garand, but it has a Danish(Norwegin?) sheath.
I have a NR4 Mark 1 Enfield with bayonet but I forgot to but the bayo in the picture.
The only bayo I have without a gun is a CETME.
what we collect
Very nice collection Pilgrim i have alot simmiler item,s in mine BUT one
that i had on two occasions! was the CETME that it sounds like you are looking for, well i hope you have better luck than i had!! or you will find
that the bayonet you have for that is far more accurate than the rifles
that thay fit, i would like to find a nice KRAG! i see you have two thay are
getting scarce and the prices are up there! so im hopeing to find an
unsuspecting little old widow with one(cheap) yea-right!! again nice collection!! oh also Mill4 me i like your concept of (get a bayonet and

The thing about Cetme rifles is that you never know what you're buying until you shoot it. I've heard about people having some that were accurate, reliable, and a joy to shoot. Then theres people like the guy I know that had one that kept having feeding/extraction problems, and couldn't get it to group at all.
I've heard of people taking rough grit compound and slathering the inside of the receiver with it, working the bolt time and time againt until the edges are smooth and the parts are worn in just to get then to cycle right.
I'll stick with my Romak3 any day before I gamble on a Cetme.
Now show me a nice Hakim, or SVT 40 in my price range and i'll be tempted.

Do any of you subscribe to Empire Arms' list? I got today's and it had lots of nice rifles I would have grabbed if I had the cash. Always something interesting and diferent that you don't find anywhere else. You get an E Mail when one comes up. Heres the E Mail I received today.
<<Here are several dozen more rifles, primarily from a single large
collection we purchased earlier this month. Quality is very high and
there is quite a bit of variety.
http://www.empirearms.com - URL REMOVED BY LENS-MOD (Dennis has threatened people who have posted his sale URLs anywhere that he would drop them from his eList). Anyone interested must register on his website - his rules!
We hope to do another list (or maybe even two) later this week. . .
Enjoy and GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!

You are welcome. Dennis is a great guy to buy from, but you don't want to find out that policy from him directly! He gets downright nasty about it. Someone posted the URL to the C&R FFL eList a few years ago and he was totally bent out of shape over it. Although I wasn't involved in the incident, it left a lasting impression!
