naw, you just need a "destructive device" license,
which is even harder to get than a class-3 (which allows you to own full-autos, including belt-fed MGs)[/quote:41090]
i've heard that's hard to earn.

Buy one.

Remove the firing pin.

What you have left is a historical - inoperative model.



I have tons of stuff , from familly and things I have collected on my own.

Lots of pictures too.

Dave has some cool stuff too , Hopefully he'll post some pics.

I own a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 rifle, made in 1942. Awesome Rifle, but has pretty good kick to it. I also have a World War One British Rifle made in 1916. These are pretty cheap rifles, can get a nagant for about 90$, and a Lee Enfield from 120-160$.

Best place to buy imo is http://www.aimsurplus.com. You need either a C&R to order any rifle made before 1952, or the SKS, or a FFL to order a rifle like the Ak-47. Also you can have it shipped to a dealer, and pay him a small fee for handling the order, usually around 20$.

300$ is pretty good for an AK. at the price it is probably not Russian, but Romainian, a WASR10 or Sar-1. Still though 300$ is not bad for one at a gun show, especially if it is a Sar-1.

It'd be because at the end of the war, they would have had a ridiculous amount of weapons left, and even if they could keep track of them all, they probably wouldn't care about a few going missing.

Acideyez, Since this relative of yours was of such a high rank, would there be any online reference to him you could direct us to?
