First bit of advise get a Type 3 FFL. $30.00 for 3 years, allows you to order direct for the C&R firearms.

Oh boy. What is an FFL? Is it a permit? I live in Kalifornistan. Also, do you know how bad the recoil is on those rifles you listed? MY 15 yr old son wants to know where you buy guns like that. FYI:This house is old and the walls are plaster.

FFL = Federal Firearms License
Type 3 = Collector Curio & Relics
Requirements are must be 21 and not restricted from owning firearms. You can either download the forms or order them from the BATF (this is what I did). Fill out the forms then send one copy to your Chief Law Enforcement Officer either Chief of Police or county Sheriff, they do not have to do anything and you do not need anything from them. Send the other copy to the BATF. It took about 4 weeks for me to get mine back, normal is 6-8 weeks. Once you have your license you can order the firearms your self, get a copy of Shotgun News, Gun List, or check sites out on the net.

In order to qualify as a C&R firearm it either A: verified 50 years old, B: On the approved list (you will receive this with your license). In CA if it is a Handgun you must have it shipped to a CA licensed dealer and still have the waiting period, rifles you can have shipped straight to you.

Most pawn shops that deal with firearms will have a few, along with most mid to large size gun shops.

If you want to Private reply with your city I'll see if I can find some shops in your area.
