Well, my PA63 9x18 Makarov pistol has been traded off, but in it's place I now own something that will be alot more useful to me here in Montana.
Mosin-Nagant 91/30 Rifle in 7.62x54R

Thanks. I figured something that was an instrumental part in driving the Nazis away from Stalingrad might be a little more useful and dependable than a little dinky Makarov pistol...lol.
I wish there was a way to track this rifle's history to see if it ever saw any combat or not. __________________ "TRAIN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, NOT WITH WHAT YOU WISH YOU HAVE." | |

So just how many of those MNs did you get for your PA63? At least two or three, right? __________________

The PA63 is only worth about 100-140 dollars (in very good condition) on the internet and at gun shops, so I got one MN for my PA63. __________________ "TRAIN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, NOT WITH WHAT YOU WISH YOU HAVE." | |

Hmmm, they've always been around $200 in my area. Thanks for the info. The MNs are always on sale for about $99 at Big 5. __________________

The benefit of having a Curio & Relic license is that you are able to take advantage of those Internet Sales.
By the time you pay shipping & dealer fees to your local FFL, you've eaten up the "Deal" and paid $200 for a $100-150 gun.
Bottom line, GETCHER C&R LICENSE!!  __________________
