New guy has a paratrooper question

First find a FFL who will receive the firearm and do the paperwork to transfer it to you. Any carbine you find on Gunbroker ask us about it. You should go to gun shows too. Don't be in a hurry.

The last sentence is this quote will save you potentially lots of money. Do your research and ask plenty of questions along the way. These are fun little guns to shoot and collect. The more you know the better off you'll be.

BTW, FFL businesses charge varying amounts for transfers. Some places are excessive too, so find the cheapest one.

Good Luck!

Better yet, apply for your C&R FFL and you can buy old military guns all you want without having to send them to a dealer for transfer! Good luck...

But then you have to log every buy you make, no?

Yes, and it's not for resale purposes either. With that said, I've had the paperwork setting on my kitchen counter for about a year or more now. I think I've finally made the choice recently to go ahead and fill it out though. There's just enough advantages to having one to go ahead and do, especially if one buys a lot of firearms online.
