Hello,
I am new here and would like to introduce myself and ask a few questions.
I have always been a fan of guns, but do not own any real guns. I have been shooting BB guns in my backyard as a kid since I was 10. Now I am 26, feel more responsible with my life and my money, and would like to start my hobby of shooting real guns.
Currently my true passion is a bolt action rifle, particularly the Mauser 98k. I stopped by my local Big 5 Sporting Goods, and they all have Mosin Nagants, which I can admire too, especially for the current $119 price. The ammo is cheap too, roughly $0.20 a round I think.
That is my backup option, but I really would like to own a Mauser 98k (particularly the K98K). I know the 8mm round is vanishing; it seems like the 8mm price has been going up, almost a dollar per round now I think. I found a K98K rebarreled for 7.62 (Israeli K98K) for $500 which I think I will enjoy financially as the ammo is cheaper, but now I am reading that there is a big problem with getting a gun to CA, especially with auctions. Some people seem to specifically say they don't deal with California.
I am a total newbie to the laws and regulations. I just really want to start my hobby, and really would like to own a Mauser 98K.
Can anyone please guide me through step by step?
Also, I was looking at https://www.samcoglobal.com/1-M98k.html which doesn't seem to be too bad either. If you can assist me in my search it would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you all.
