gunnmen01 Posted June 21, 2006 at 03:24 AM Posted June 21, 2006 at 03:24 AM Most of my shopping has been from Southern Ohio Gun. http://www.southernohiogun.com I have also used or heard good things about. http://www.aimsurplus.com/http://allans-armory.com/aa.asphttp://www.centuryarms.com/shop/http://www.jgsales.com/http://www.classicarms.us/http://www.gunpartscorp.com/http://www.odcmp.com/Services/Rifles/eligi...equirements.htmhttp://www.surplusrifle.com/ Now go shopping and spend too much money buying some history... gunnmen01
SmershAgent Posted June 21, 2006 at 03:38 AM Posted June 21, 2006 at 03:38 AM Almost all of my C&R dealings have been with AIM Surplus, and they've consistently done right by me.
45superman Posted June 21, 2006 at 07:23 AM Posted June 21, 2006 at 07:23 AM I don't know if this counts, but Brownells.com and MidwayUSA.com offer dealer discounts to anyone who has a C&R on file with them. The savings definitely add up.
gunnmen01 Posted June 24, 2006 at 06:44 PM Author Posted June 24, 2006 at 06:44 PM These guys also offer a 10% discount on most purchases. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/ gunnmen01
mack69 Posted June 25, 2006 at 01:17 AM Posted June 25, 2006 at 01:17 AM Buy with confidence at Classic Arms, they are a great company, honest, friendly, quick service too. I ahve also had good luck with AIMSurplus as well.
Kaeghl Posted June 26, 2006 at 07:41 PM Posted June 26, 2006 at 07:41 PM While we're about it, I thought I heard/read that CMP is nice to deal with. Is it true that a C&R holder can basically drive up to their store and walk out with an '03 or a M1? Or order with just the C&R and not have to do the range-fire? Where would I look to check that out, specifically?

Ocellairs Posted October 21, 2007 at 12:38 PM Posted October 21, 2007 at 12:38 PM Okay, I give up. I'm too lazy to due the search, but how does one get a C&R. It's time to quick bucking the system and join the crowd!

It's time to quick bucking the system and join the crowd! Oc, check here for everything you will ever want to know about C & R. I just got my big package from DOJ, expect license any day now
45superman Posted October 23, 2007 at 01:18 AM Posted October 23, 2007 at 01:18 AM Oops--didn't see your post, Oc, until just now. Anyway, Racer's link is definitely the mother lode for the kind of information you're seeking, and if it still leaves you with any specific questions, I think you'll find a lot of folks here ready with answers.

The savings definitely add up. Do you remember offhand how much of a discount?It varies--sometimes nothing at all (oddly enough, every once in a while--usually when something is on sale---the dealer price is slightly higher than the price the regular folks pay), sometimes maybe close to 15-20%. On average, I would say the discount is somewhere between 5-10% (probably closer to the high end of that range).
Lou Posted February 29, 2008 at 08:10 PM Posted February 29, 2008 at 08:10 PM OK - I now know I am officially paranoid!! I got a big fat package from the ATF today and started to panic - looking over my shoulder. What did I do? Who's coming after me? Did someone turn me in becasue of my "arsenal"? When I opened it I realized it was my C&R application that I ordered and forgot about. One question - what is with this sending the app to your local Chief of Police? Anyone in Illinois have bad vibes about this?
SmershAgent Posted February 29, 2008 at 08:29 PM Posted February 29, 2008 at 08:29 PM One question - what is with this sending the app to your local Chief of Police? Anyone in Illinois have bad vibes about this? I wouldn't worry about it. The chief doesn't have to approve or sign anything. All you have to do is be able to check the box on your application confirming you mailed the copy to your local chief constable. I've yet to hear of anyone not getting their permit on account of a chief intervening. I suspect the sort of things a chief might try to use against someone are the same sort of things that would cause you to fail the federal background check, and thus you'd be disqualified anyway. Congratulations on starting your paperwork, by the way. What do you anticipate your first purchase will be?
Lou Posted February 29, 2008 at 08:39 PM Posted February 29, 2008 at 08:39 PM Congratulations on starting your paperwork, by the way. What do you anticipate your first purchase will be? I was looking at some of the sites and I felt like a kid in a candy store. Maybe a Makarov and/or an SKS? How do the ballistics of a 9 x 18 compare to the 9MM lugar round?
SmershAgent Posted February 29, 2008 at 08:40 PM Posted February 29, 2008 at 08:40 PM Congratulations on starting your paperwork, by the way. What do you anticipate your first purchase will be? I was looking at some of the sites and I felt like a kid in a candy store. Maybe a Makarov and/or an SKS? I'd get the SKS while the getting is still good. They're outstanding rifles on their own merits, the price is still reasonable (~$200 for a 59/66), and they may or may not count as "assault weapons" (if you're the paranoid type).
gunnmen01 Posted February 29, 2008 at 11:51 PM Author Posted February 29, 2008 at 11:51 PM MMWWHWHWHWHWHWHWHWHWW (evil laughter) yet another convert to the Milsurpitis!!!!!!!! Congrats on joining the old side of the force....... Your police chief cant do anything with it, he cant stop you from getting your C&R. You just have to mail it to him..... 4-6 weeks from now you will get your liscense and spend more time than you thought possible skimming every site you know of, every day to see if something you dont have is on sale somewhere. Im speaking from experience here. Speaking of C&R liscense, i should be getting my renewal notice sometime next month. Man has 3 years flown by... im hesitant to say here exactly how many i have bought in the last 2.5 years though...... gunnmen01
mack69 Posted February 29, 2008 at 11:53 PM Posted February 29, 2008 at 11:53 PM Congrats on the C&R Lou...When you start looking around for places to buy from don't forget to check these guys: --->www.classicarms.us<--- They are good folks to deal with and have great quality stuff as well.SKS, Makarov, Mosin, CZ52, CZ50, CZ82Enjoy...And of course, we'll want photos of your very first cosmoline encrusted purchase!
gunnmen01 Posted March 1, 2008 at 12:00 AM Author Posted March 1, 2008 at 12:00 AM I bought my CZ-50 last year when Century arms got 50 in from the shot show, then 2 weeks later i went to a gun show and found another cz-50 which i also bought. When i got it home,cleaned it up and got a really good look at it, i realized it was a cz-70 converted from a a cz-50. Since they were so similar in design they updated quite a few 50's to the 70..... gunnmen01
Federal Farmer Posted March 1, 2008 at 12:42 AM Posted March 1, 2008 at 12:42 AM I'd get one, but I don't think it would be useful in Chicago. It would just be to prove some kind of point and I'm not sure what that would be or accomplish. I'm also worried about inviting the Feds further into my life.
ilphil Posted March 1, 2008 at 01:41 AM Posted March 1, 2008 at 01:41 AM Way to go Lou!!!I still remember the feeling when my first purchase got delivered and I thought how neat it was to have the gun come to me instead of having to go to a dealer to pick it up.
RacerDave6 Posted March 1, 2008 at 06:32 PM Posted March 1, 2008 at 06:32 PM Way to go Lou!!!I still remember the feeling when my first purchase got delivered and I thought how neat it was to have the gun come to me instead of having to go to a dealer to pick it up. Yep. Just received my first C&R purchase. Now I get to spend all weekend tearing it apart and cleaning it up.
TTIN Posted July 14, 2008 at 08:48 PM Posted July 14, 2008 at 08:48 PM Heres a good write up on the Nagant revolver, and a much cheaper source of ammo should you choose to get one and shoot it regularly. http://www.sff.net/people/sanders/nagant.html gunnmen01Has anyone shot any .32 cal. ammo in the Nagant,and if so,any problems?

I have shot .32 S&W longs, and they seem to work all right, although the brass can bulge a little. However, you will end up with residue all over the inside and outside cylinder and forcing cone, just like with a normal revolver; if you shoot Nagant ammo, the only place for residue to escape is out of the muzzle and over 99.9% of the residue is confined to the inside of barrel, which makes cleaning a lot easier, albeit fairly expensive at the current cost of Nagant cartridges.

Ironman Posted January 31, 2010 at 09:19 PM Posted January 31, 2010 at 09:19 PM I'm about 3 weeks into the application process, I figure I've got about another 3=4 weeks before I get my C&R. Can't wait!
junglebob Posted January 31, 2010 at 09:52 PM Posted January 31, 2010 at 09:52 PM What is the going price of the Nagant revolver now?
billzfx4 Posted January 31, 2010 at 10:22 PM Posted January 31, 2010 at 10:22 PM What is the going price of the Nagant revolver now? Last time I checked they were just under $200, on average.
