C&R is paying off...

[crowtalks]

A few years ago I decided to get a C&R and initially I regretted it (for I am now on the government's radar) but this last year I have acquired six vintage weapons that I have had shipped to my home.

They are: Mk1 No 5 Enfield Jungle Carbine, Savage 1917, Remington model 12 pump, Remington model 121 pump, Broomhandle Mauser and a Remington model 51.

A C&R does make purchasing milsurps convenient.  Precisely because of that, it can easily wind up being the most expensive piece of paper you own ...

So C&R is like reloading,  you shoot more so no savings?

No savings whatsoever!

Sure, I save on background fee, transfer fees, etc...but precisely because of that it makes it so much easier to pull the trigger on old weapons (figuratively...and also literally, I guess)

Exactly!

Renewed mine last week. No Regerts. The renewal asks how many you've acquired and moved along in the last 3 years. I checked my bound book just to be sure I was accurate and the first number was somehow higher than I remember it being   and the second number remained at 0.

I have been able to resist buying (& selling) recently, but it still comes in handy for the Brownells discount though.

Yup! Just like those wanting to get a ham license....now big brother knows where you are and what you do. But nice collection you're working on!

I had a C&R back in the good old days, really miss those $29 gunsmiths specials .

I have a C&R for years

I loved it when Russian surplus was available but I did buy a new 1943 Colt 1911 this week which was nice
