Welcome. Lots of cool milsurp out there, but be careful. It can be addicting.

 

[Druyt88]

Yeah, it is, I had a sporterized Type 99 before i knew how much ammo was and i don't have time for reloading.

Welcome. If you dig C&R get your 03 Curio & Relic license. $30 good for 3 years and purchases shipped to your door saving transfer fees.

 

[Edwardteach72]

Welcome.. it's never to late to start.

And I second getting a C&R license. It's not nearly as awesome as it used to be but can still be worth it and with the right purchase even pay for itself

 

[Druyt88]

I've seriously thought of C&R, especally in this state, I'm originally from WI where you can just buy a gun off a guy and it's legal, no FFl no nothing. But my wife was here so w/e. Thanks for all the welcomes!

sell the kids, buy more guns..
An off topic side note , anyone remember the percussion cap miniature pistols from Avon ? My grandmother collected them through the 70's -early 80's. I found some of them while cleaning out my dads house after he died but the were corroded real bad..

Hello

 

[Pale Rider]

Come on in.

 

[Druyt88]

@camper4lyfe, That sounds like a mess, hope things get better. Were hoping to finally own something further south of here, the more remote the better, I still work in the city though.

@Druyt88

30 mins South of you

 

[MuttCat]

Welcome. I happened into a Lee Enfield and got stuck on it, never something I would have considered buying, but down the rabbit hole I went.

 

[Druyt88]

Honestly I found two type 53's sub $200 on here and messaged one guy but nothing came back, the post was old so w/e, and I'm a new guy. New to forums in general too so maybe i screwed something up.

 

[Druyt88]

@Acer-m14, Sounds like Dansville or a bit south of it, landscape is nice down there.

 

[GTN]

Welcome
I’m in Avon also!

 

[MuttCat]

Drove through Avon once..."Av-on" right? Seemed like a nice town.

 

[HEX]

Welcome

It's great if you like the smell of cow manure.

Yep it does

 

[camper4lyfe]

Only on the good days

 

[Karpteach]

Welcome aboard!

 

[Druyt88]

The cow shit smell is better than the city smell. Got a type 99 in 30 06 and the ATF took my money for a C & R. It's a bubba 99 the govt. didn't do it, I'll see how it does this weekend.

 

[thegatman]

Welcome. Nice gun shop in Avon.

They were spreading the wealth on a field across from me yesterday. The wind was definitely not in my favor, but I do prefer it over bus fumes and other urban, suburban aromas.
Avon, the jewel in the crown.
