A while ago I took my Swede Mauser out for some exercise, and happened to set up next to a guy who was also shooting a Swede. After a few rounds, he noticed that I wasn't picking up my brass and asked if he could have it. After I pointed out that it was milsurp and Berdan primed, he didn't...

My understanding of this is that the ACLU is treating it as an illegal seizure of property case, not as a gun rights case. In other words, they're fighting this one despite the fact that a gun is involved, not because of it. Still, it's the right thing to do - the government should not be...

The University of Texas NROTC range is indoors and for airguns and .22 only.

Just to clarify what jwr747 said, you only need to log previously-owned C&R-eligible firearms as dispositions when you sell them (give them away, etc.). The rule is that if you acquire a C&R-eligible gun while the license is valid, you log it. If you dispose of a C&R-eligible gun while the...

We're approaching the point where the surplus military rifles coming into C&R status will be NFA items, but there are still lots of surplus pistols which will become C&R-eligible as they pass the 50-year mark. Whether they're allowed to be imported in the future is another question, of course.

If it's a cartridge-firing revolver made after 1898, it needs an FFL transfer or you have to have a C&R FFL yourself to receive a 1902/1903 manufactured pistol. It's only the cap-and-ball (discrete component) black powder weapons that are exempt later than 1898.

When you send them a check, it gets cashed as soon as they receive it. The actual license may take a month or two (or longer) to get issued. I'm not surprised if they're doing the same with credit cards. At least you know they got the application!

This is actually irrelevant in this case. The 30.06 sign serves as notice if no other form of notice is given. Here, the notice is given as part of the HR Policy Manual (since I'm sure he signed a paper at some point indicating that he had read the manual and agreed to abide by it). In a...

Here's a picture of the 'pipe organ' display under my monitor.

I read the forum when I have time. I also bring in copies of Shotgun News for lunchtime reading, have a small pipe organ display of fired cartridge cases lined up under my monitor, and have four cardboard milsurp cartridge boxes sitting on my desk.

I haven't run into any resistance, but then, I haven't sold any of my C&R guns. As a C&R licensee, we don't have a choice. If the buyer won't provide the required ID information, we can't sell a firearm listed in the bound book to him. Non C&R firearms are governed by state law, of course...

+1 on the Craftsman tool bag. It's designed to hold a lot of weight, has useful pockets and web loops, and doesn't shout "Guns!" to the casual observer.

Under federal law, if it's legal for you to own a gun, this sale is legal. Under NM state law, I don't know. Some states do have restrictions (such as California requiring that the sale be processed through a firearms dealer) that would restrict such a sale.

Most of my not-so-common calibers are foreign military. Probably the strangest are the Russian 7.62x38R (Nagant) and 7.62x25 (Tokarev), and maybe the 8x56R Steyr. I've also got a revolver in .38 S&W, which is getting rare these days.

Re: My "new" 91/30 hex.... As was already said, the importer's serial number is the one to use. For Russian firearms it's especially important because some of the original serial numbers contain Cyrillic characters that don't exist in English. As for the markings, you can learn a lot about...

AZAndy, good summary! I think one point needs clarification, though. You said: I believe you must record any C&R-eligible firearm acquisition after you get the license, even if your C&R license played no part in getting it (inheriting a 65-year old rifle, for example). Also, you must record...

I've got several milsurp firearms that date back to the 1920s and before. All still work, although most of them have probably been through at least one arsenal rebuild.

I've got a Swede Mauser model 96/38, made in 1900 by Mauser. I don't it's specific history, but generically I've figured out a few things. The Mauser-built rifles were the first 30,000 of about 500,000 M96s. In the mid-30s about 30,000 of those half-million were selected to be cut down to...

I think this: is incorrect in one case. A FFL03 (Curio & Relic) collector is not required to execute a 4473 when selling a firearm to a non-FFL person. The collector has to record the buyer's name & address in the disposal section of the bound book for the firearm, but no other paperwork is...
