Thanks, all for the compliments.
Yeah, Jay, I tried to lay off but with Bill's encouragement I jumped in. Glad I did.
I got lucky but there seems to be some good deals out there.
I won't be able to bring this beauty home until the end of September cuz California. I'm stacking them up at my FFL.

Bummer....the Communist state of California is perhaps the only place worse than the socialist state of Washington where I live.
Would a C&R FFL work in the CSofCal???
I have them shipped right to my door if they are over 50 yrs old.
$30 for 3 years.
Look in to it. Any questions, most here will help 8-)

Jay,
I actually have a T3 FFL. However, in CA, one also needs a Certificate of Exemption which requires finger printing and a photo and is only good for a year at $70 a pop, I believe. And that only waves the 1-in-30-days limit on handguns for C&R only and they still have to go through a T1. So I'm passing on it for now.
I applied for the T3 before I had this info but I think I can use it in AZ to bring a C&R back as long as it is registered promptly in CA. Some day.
