Far as I know, it's a letter from the local SO stating that you're not a

that 200 dollars, for something that would essentially be a pointless
toy. (I have 30 acres in a rural part of Wisconsin, and the neighbors
don't mind when I shoot - more than once, they've come over to join in).
That's to BUY one. IIRC, you need a manufacturer's license to make your
own...
Could be. No interest either way, so I haven't looked into the details.
Not long ago...IRRC..the 9th Circuit Court ruled that it was legal to
make your own machine gun. Just not for sale.

Do they require the $1,500/yr fee to the ATF?
Hey, a client just sent a wee check (wonders never cease!) Are those
little (4' long) Mosin Nagant M44, 91-38, or 91-53s any good ($70
at Big 5 through Oct 24th)?
Actually, they are very good for the most part. Id suggest though that
if you can afford one, get one of the Finn M-39s. Deadly accurate.
But yep...the MNs are decent weapons. The little Carbines are fun,
loud as hell, kick like a mule, but handy. Really handy. Will require
a new front sight though, as they were designed to be shot with the
bayonet extended and will shoot high with it retracted.

Where can one find 7.62 x 54 ammo cheap?

I prefer Yellow Tip in the MN..at least in my :several" M-39s
Lots of places on the Net to purchase mil surp ammo. Though Im having
a hell of a time finding decent 303 Brit ammo. Ive still got a couple
cans of HXP headstamped 303 (made in Greece), but hate to shoot it up
as its really good stuff and reloadable.
The way I understand it, the "arsenal refinishing" included filling
scope holes. Are they easy to redo, JIC I want a nice scope on one?
Any tips on buying one?
Bring a cleaning rod and a pocket full of swabs. Run it though the
barrel (some stores will allow this..others will not) and pick the one
with the brightest bore. Handle as many as you can..pay for the one
that :"feels" the best to you. Shrug..most of them are pretty much in
the same condition. They are supposed to be pre checked for any
headspace issues. If yours pierces the primer..take it back for an
exchange.
A Tula Arsenal 1944 is a good one. Shrug.
As for scoping the Nagant....wellllllll there is a problem.....
It uses a split bridge receiver so a side mount is the only way to go.

Ive done several of these..mostly repairing those that kitchen table
types have ****ed things up using the above kit, which I Detest.
One is far better off making their own side mount and doing a real
bolt bend, or cut off and reweld, which is what I generally do if Im
going to scope an MN.
Or making a "scout rifle"configuration

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.
