C&R Price Tags?

[Dr.Mauser]

Alrighty then friends, I'm curious to know (if you can, I hope I'm not crossing the line here) how much everyone has spent building their C&R collection. I'll go first. From the time I turned 18 12/08 to know, I'm saying somewhere in the $3K + Range

[LazyAndy]

Since I received mine in November 2009, I have spent about 800 bucks.

[Dr.Mauser]

there we go a first poster in here, lets keep the list going

[7.62x54R]

Mine is around 1000$. I bought most of my C&R pre C&R license otherwise it would be higher. I still need to pick up a M1 Garand and M1 Carbine.

Are you trying to get me killed? My wife might read this.
First rule of C&R collecting is never talk about the cost of
C&R collecting.

The 2nd rule is that when you have been captured and are forced to disclose how much you've spent on any particular item or items, always cut the number by 50 - 60%. Example: Her: "How much was that service grade CMP Carbine, honey?" Me: "Oh, I got a great deal on it! Delivered to my door for only $220. Can you believe it? I really love my C&R license. It saves us sooo much money!"

Nice collections everyone! Lets keep this baby rolling!

[M. D. Van Norman]

If my collection has doubled in value, does that mean it cost me nothing?

Let's see, if you used my wife's formula for money saved by buying stuff because its on sale, then I would have to say yes.
