New C&R FFL: What to buy first?

[ddewyse]

INGO: My new Curio & Relic FFL lisence showed up in the mail on Saturday!! Been waiting for it for the last 4 weeks and doing some investigation on what to buy first. I have a Mosin 91/30 hex 1933 Izzy already but was wondering what the INGO community would suggest for my first purchases? Give me your thoughts, I am open to both rifles and handguns.
Thanks!

If I was you, I'd start a couple of extra jobs.

A C&R is very dangerous to the bank account.

Welcome to the club. My first purchase was a TT-33 and Yugo Mauser. Mosins are always a good bet to. AimSurplus and J&G sales are both great places to buy from. SurplusRifle.com has a good online C&R store list to send copies of your license to. I also have a social group called the Cruffler's Club you can join.

I just filled out the form myself for the ATF to send me my packet Hopefully everything will be straight forward and go smooth

M-1

That's my suggestion.

Thanks for the advise. Just got back from Menards with a new gun safe. They have the small 10 gun model on sale for $77. I needed another one anyway. This week I'll be sending my FFL copies to the various vendors out there and see what discount, etc. that they offer.

Have you dug up all the sites you can order from yet or do you need us to start spouting some off?

 

[Six Shooter Steve]

Spout them off so the rest of us can check them out too hahaha

Hey Boss, congrats on the C&R. I think you need to get yourself an 8mm Mauser, like a M48 or 24/47.

OK... here's my list. I have C&R copies sitting at:

You can also get a discount at Brownells and Midway for having an FFL. I forget which is which, but one of them all I had to do was make an account (they never even asked for an uploaded copy). Once you create an account with them, when you log it in, you'll see the discount kick in. I'm pretty sure there are others, but those are the only two I really plink with.

There was a FP card in my packet i got from ATF.

Weird.... I didn't do prints either. I think you do need them for an 01 FFL but not for an 03. My info is a year old though and things do change...
