Do you plan to own mostly, or only milsurps?
Well, the virus seems to be incurable, except to buy another (last night), after evaluating several choices for weeks.

Well? I'm sure as soon as I get my C&R license, my milsurp purchases will be on the rise for sure!

To me, mil surps are like old cars, while the new cars are nice, its just something about the old ones that make them more appealing to me.
Give me a hot rod! |

I buy both but currently don't have a C&R.
I have thought about it but Buds only charges me $10 for the transfer and I am not restricted in selling them for a profit. (Never have but want to keep the option open) Just picked up SKS at Cabelas for $179. On sale for $199 and they have a coupon for $20 off any purchase over $150. Doug |

The ratio here is 3 to one for milsurps out of some 80+ rifles with all of the milsurps being Swiss rifles.

It was foolish not to have acquired the C&R license. Should have done it three years ago.

That's probably because you haven't showed us yours, Kraig!
No disrespect to firewrench, of course...
