[July 4th]

You can get a surplus Swiss K-31 (caliber roughly the same power as a 308 Winchester) fpr less than $100.

The accuracy in the K-31s is great for the price. It's like you're getting a gun worth five times that amount. But the ammo ain't cheap. If one wants to also practice with the rifle, it can get a bit expensive. Plus, the bolt is a bit different. (and a b***h to take apart)

Hahaha what a kidder!
It's easy to take apart, putting it back together.......
well, that's not hard either.
Considering also that you can get sixty rounds of match grade ammo for around 25 dollars, which you can then pull
the bullets and reload with SP or HP ones and still be
below the cost of commercial ammo.

The triggers on the K-31s are SWEET and you can get
scout mount scope mounts for them for around 60 bucks
an LER scope for 40 and you are good to go.

If you are over 18 years of age, you can apply for a
C&R license (curio and relic) from the BATF, it costs
thirty dollars and is good for 4 years. it allows you
to purchase C&R rifles , that is ones OVER fifty years
old or of a collectable nature (they have a list) DIRECTLY
from wholesale gun dealers AND THE UPS DELIVERS THEM DIRECT
TO YOUR DOOR!!!

Look it up on the net.
WWW.cruffler.com
or just type Curio and relic into google.
the forms are available from the ATF website.
you can also go to www.milsurpshooter.net to
learn everything you need to know to fill out the forms
and get started.
Battle rifles can be bought for under a hundred bucks,
sometimes as low as $39.95 or less.

One problem though, soon you'll need to buy a gunsafe,
they multiply in a dark closet.
