The Top Ten Coolest Relatively Cheap Things You Can Buy With a C&R Are...
...what? ;-)
Note that I said "reasonably cheap". A Mosin-Nagant is reasonably cheap. The "Colt, ATF Special Edition, Python Revolver, caliber .357 magnum" that's on the C&R list is probably not. |

Depends on the cutoff of "relatively cheap". In the under $300 range (in no particular order):
K-31 MN M91/30 MN M-44 K98k (r/c) CZ vz-52 CZ vz-82 M95 TT-33 Lee-Enfield (if they're still available for < $300) M39

I'll also skip the order ... but I'll keep the same ~$300 limit ...
K-31 MN M91/30 98 Mauser Swedish Mauser (gonna be tough at $300, but they ARE out there) CZ50 CZ52 CZ82 M95 M38 Carcano TT-33 Lee-Enfield M39 SKS Nagant M1895 Revolver Manurhin Walther PP Colt 1903 Hammerless Pocket Pistol (I saw one the other day for 3 even ... I'm sure the guy would've taken 299.99 to keep it in play Well, that's more than 10 ... and I feel like I just got started ... maybe we should have set the limit lower There are also some handguns that are C&R like the S&W revolvers from the early 1900's ... but you will be trading off condition to get the price down in the sub-$300 range ... this would likely apply to the countless Winchester 30-30's that qualify ... nice ones are likely to carry a price premium.

K31
1895 Nagant SKS seems to be over $300 now The rest really depoend on taste. I would definitely get the K31 b/c it is simply an amazing rifle and the 1895 Nagant because it is an absurd design and only $85. |

You PASSED on a $299.99 colt 1903 pocket pistol???
What are you, crazy man? That's a very good price. Unless the gun was trash. Around here, the junk `1903's go for more than that. A nice shooter with no finish and cracked grips is always 400-500 and up. |

I bought nice nickle one with cracked grips for $225 last year. I let my Grandmother shoot it. Turns out she had owned one way back. She took it home. Oh well, it will likely eventually find it's way back to me.

Don't gun shows allow you to buy when from a different state?
At the show here on the 19th, the seller asked me whether I'm a TN resident. The guy at the July show in northwest MS never asked such a question. |

Unfortunately, some FFL dealers are either ignorant of the Federal laws regarding this or just too paranoid to sell to an out-of-stater. In defense of the dealer, however, one can't know every law of every state. |

I won't argue with anyones top ten list except to say that a 12 Guage Remington Model 11 semi-auto shotgun or it's very close relative, the three shot Remington "Sportsman" model shotgun would be on mine. These very well-made guns were designed by none other than the great John Browning who considered this particular design to be his best achievement (i.e. not his model 1911 45 pistol). A million or so of these shotguns were manufactured by Remington between 1911 and 1948 and are still widely availiable today because they were quality guns that held up to rugged use. They are C&R eligible and these days they can be found at gun shows going for $250 or less - an incredible price for a gun of this quality. This is sort of like buying a well maintained 55 Chevy hardtop for $1000 or less. Deals like this don't last, and I look for these fine old shooters to greatly appreciate in value in the coming years.
