I never did get to getting my C&R - bit late now as I have about stopped getting that stuff.

So - whatdya got in this category?

I have -

Handgun - CZ-52, Webley MkVI (does Mak count yet?)

SKS's - Norinco, Romanian and Yugo.
Ishapore Enfield, Jungle carbine, Mauser 1916 Spanish, Turk Mauser,
Mossin M38, Mossin 91/30. Oh and Hakim.

Think that's it :wink:

I'd say Maks should count based on historical criteria and not legality.

Personally I'm actually sort of light in C&R - couple of Mosins, couple of SKSes, but I see a lot that I would like to have some day. I'd really like to have the M1 family and the 1903A3. I like old battle rifles especially when they're the real thing.

I got a deal from a guy at work that bought them when they were like 60 bucks.

This one is in perfect condition,and looks like it was made yesterday.Ive had collectors DROOL over it..:smile:

With Norma Ammo is is an absloute tack driver. I have won a few local contests with it over the years. As for recoil, its probably the sweetest shooting milsurp that Ive got.

If I ever see another in decent condition I am buying it. They quit making them ya know...

Id show ya a picture but my kids got the camera at the moment and he aint here...

$60 - <sigh> !! Lucky fella.

Ahaha - I seem to remember a mention of that Cadet previously - it piques my interest. Any pic Betty, but don't worry if not.

And the Luger - nice - does it have a good barrel? The only ones I have seen close up were all but shot out, re the rifling.

That reminds me...

I forgot about my 16 guage 1897. It was made in 1901. I guess that qualifies as a C&R.

I once owned a pristine 7.7 Jap Arisaka with the antiaircraft sights and it was beautiful. Supposedly a friends grandfather bought it back from Okinawa. Had the mum and everything matched. Like an idiot, I sold it and a 6.5 Carcano for 60 bucks to put down on another gun. That was 25 years ago...long before I got bit by the Milsurp bug.

I kick myself in the tail everytime I look at the price of a war trophy with the Mum intact.

What ammo do you feed your Hakim? And what position is your gas valve?
