Again, reason 999 I need my federal license. I need this! ugh (119=200 after fees...it's time to bite the proverbial bullet and get to federal paperwork on payday)

Why so many fees? I just pay the transfer fee, which is 20 bucks at the closest gun shop. Not any sales tax.

I called (my people, not AIM) and they said that was their company policy on the fee. I'm calling around. There's no way I should have to pay 80 bucks to get one shipped into las vegas.

Close enough to Kalifornia, but not that close. :)

If I find a way to do it for under 50 bucks extra, I will. Then, next purchase, I will hopefully be getting my licenses..especially with Nagant revolvers going for 120...

I saw a bunch of those revolvers at the recent gun show. I think when I buy my first collectible handgun it will be either a Makarov or Tokarov.

I really want a Makarov. Tokarov's are pretty expensive now adays from what I have seen, but I could only have seen some extremely good ones or just a bad dealer booth.

I like revolvers. I think Patton style grips, if one could locate them for the Nagant and had 3 or 4 with 1 to spare like that, it would be an epic add on. (Although I'm not sure if that permanently has to be done or if it could be changeable..not that the history is AS crucial on them)

There are 3 hand guns I have to own in my time, simply because my eyes seemingly have been trained to spot them from miles since 4th grade when I really got into WWII era stuff:

Nagant revolver, Walther P38, And of course, the M1911. (For outside era bonus maybe a Desert Eagle to mess around with, since all the kids rave over Israeli guns these days.)

I own 0 at the moment. Rifle collection has preference.

These rifles in this ad were just put up for sale yesterday. I talked to Bryan at AIM today and he told me they got in about 500 of them and 150 or so were Tula's.

Well that's a bonus gun then, nothing wrong with that. Did the gunshop know what it was and charge you extra or did you manage to skate?

Oh I forgot to mention. I got one too. Well I actually got 4, Tula's and handpicked best of. It begins again, a new Weldon's update thread I guess. I couldn't resist. These are definitely special and I wanted to have a few backups. Now I need more racks. :wink:

I just couldn't let this go. I kept looking at them and the fact that they're laminates. You just never really see them that much. There's two other places selling laminates right now, J&G and Centerfire and they want more for them. All 4 of them are going to be Tula's and and I asked for them to be handpicked also but I'm not sure what's going to happen there. I called first to talk to Bryan about some other things and told him I was going to get these. When we finished the converstaion he told me to email him the order number when I bought them, so I did and he'd take care of me.

One thing I talked to him about was the items our advertisers have for sale. If you guys are reading this, Josh, Todd and Bruce you may be getting a call or email. Depends on whether he thinks they're something they want to carry. I told him you're selling all these Mosins, some Mosin specific accessories would be a nice touch. One other thing. I asked about the snipers. I'll just say this here, he's waiting for the importers ok to go see check them out. I'll post more about them in the thread I started about the "New Sniper Source...Maybe" thread.

" Now all I need is a hex receiver, and a Finn, and I will have all the varieties I want. "

Nice try Alden trust me. I think I have heard that many times here on the forum. Usually just after they buy their 5th last mosin.

all the shop knows is that they are round and hex. they charge $10 more for a hex. i did not tell them what it was. i did have to show them the difference between a tula and Izhevsk.

The temptation was just too strong. Had to place an order myself. First time to take the hand pick option. We'll see how that goes. Looks like there will be a lot of pictures posted soon. :D :D :D
