Military Surplus Rifles

[metalcruncher]

303 ammo is not cheap. Hasn't been since well before Obama was even elected. Surplus simply dried up. If you reload, it's not a problem. If you don't, plan for ammo supply constraints.

The supply levels of certain curio calibers have come back. Outdoor limited has .303 British (Prvi PPU) for $35 a box and Buffalo Arms has some in stock for a little over $35 a box.

Selway armory had a bunch of 6.5 Japanese a couple of months ago.

I've noticed some sales (BOGO 10% off) at certain ammunition sites. And .223/9mm/.45 prices have dropped considerably. This is me talking...I think supply is slowly catching up with demand on the internet. Not so much at your LGS.

Careful! It's an addiction. But a good addiction. Get your C&R license and a COE. Although they're quite as beneficial as they used to be, they are still worth it.

Isn’t a the dros fee $37 now?

You know a place that charges less than the dros for a transfer?

He is talking about what the FFL charges ABOVE the DROS fees.

Thank you for posting this link, I was not aware of them before. Its a pretty good site with a C&R section. I added it to my list of sites to check regularly now.

Thank you.

Find the wood and restore to milsurp or leave it as a nice sporter, greed deal!

Read this in my email this morning and remembered this thread. Don't know if the price is good in today's markets but I've found Atlantic to be reliable.

I think that for $650, the CMP Garand offering is a "no-brainer" deal. It is surplus, American, worth more than you'll pay for it, fun to shoot, fun to take apart and examine, and it furthers a good cause.

It checks all the boxes.

Agreed, 100%. The Service Grade rifles are something around $750 now and are still quite a bargain at that price. It's hard to beat "the finest battle implement ever made" as far as milsurps go.

Yeah, but not everyone qualifies, or can qualify, for a CMP purchase.

Wouldn't joining CalGuns as a paid-up member quality one? I know that the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) is a qualifying organization for CMP eligibility. As long as you're not a "Prohibited Person", joining such an organization should satisfy the CMP requirements.

No.

Calguns is not a CMP affiliated club.

Here is how you find a CMP affiliated club:
