Just picked it up from the local FFL agent. It's a Russian-made, 1943 Izhevsk. Haven't had much time to give it a good look over, but at quick glance the stock is actually in good shape and the receiver looks OK. Came with a bunch of crap I don't care about - sling, bayonet, pouch, oil container, etc. Probably won't have time to break it down and give it a closer inspection until after the holidays.

What is the typical FFL fee there? Here it ranges between 20-30 for most place and up to 100 at places like gander mountain.

They do that to discourage FFL transfers so you can buy directly from them.

Ok that makes sense..didn't even think of that.

'grats Lee

Yeah, $20-30 for FFL transfers here too.
I was tempted to apply for my C&R FFL just for picking up old rifles and for the discounts you can get from a lot of distributors, but never got around to it.
