anyone want to split up a crate of Mosins?

[OmniaMors 0]

I am looking for a mosin and wanted to set out some feelers if anyone else wanted to split up a crate.

 

here is the site i intend on using

http://www.classicfirearms.com/mosin-nagant-rfile-by-the-crate

but that was just from google so if anyone wants to suggest a better one im all ears

 

as of now here are the details

1. The crate costs $2500+shipping for 20 rifles so per rifle will be $125+shipping
2. Choice of rifle will be by order of sign ups (but if someone can think of a more fair method, let me know
3. Ammo can also be purchased at $210+shipping for 880 rounds (.24c+shipping per round)
4. We can pick our place to meet once we know where a majority of our group is. i personally am near NYC, but the final location should be the center for everybody
5. For payment i think it would make sense to work in cash. So nobody has to drop ~3k (unless someone is willing to volunteer for this) we can have everyone pay me cash (and i will give you my personal info so you have someone to hold accountable) and i will make the payment. Again im completely open to other ideas.

questions? comments? thoughts?

We did a mosin group buy last year if I recall, each person would need to meet at the reciving FFL for a nics check.

 

Maybe somebody can confirm

Why couldnt one person take posession of them and have the nics ran... then distribute them... would it still be a straw sale... since everyone would have there fid and what not?

It makes sense to you, makes sense to me... But I think the law defines that as a straw purchase, ... even though everybody has an FID... maybe somebody will correct me, but I am pretty sure that is the case.

I imagine one person buying 20 rifles would be noticed in today's environment, unless you were  a noted Mosin collector and then you would effectively be an "unlicensed" dealer.

I'd take one. I've been trying to finda Mosin for a while now. If the price was right I'd definitely be interested.

How much would shipping be?

Cabelas in pa had at least 7 on the rack when I was there yesterday for 159

hmmm buy a crate and wait 21 days for NICS or drive 1.5 hours to PA and bring it home same day.. tough decision..  (punches in Cabelas address into GPS)

I own four Mosins. The last one I bought looked beautiful (laminated stock), slathered in cosmoline, but the barrel was dirty and pitted. The barrel on the other one I've restored is like a mirror.

 

I can't say I've had very good luck purchasing used guns online. A recent "hand pick" CZ82 looks like it had been dragged through a quarry pit.

 

If you can examine one I suggest you go that route. You'll also save on the Xfer, and if you buy in PA your NICS is instant, not infinite.
