As a result, what you must do is find a person or company that has an FFL (which is an abbreviation of Federal Firearms License) and have the gun shipped there. You then pay that person a small fee to have the gun transferred into your possession.

Arizona gun laws:
To my knowledge, Arizone is probably the most laxed state when it comes to gun laws. I've never heard of them instituting any kind of special gun laws or restriction, and they usually support every kind of freedom there you could imagine.

Ammunition:
Ammo can be shipped to your door as long as you are 21. You'll want to stay home from school or work the day that it's going to arrive though, because if you're not there they will not be helpful with you about receiving your package.
Wow really? That's actually WORSE than in Canada!
In Canada, after you pay your firearms license fee and/or take the course (costs more but includes the license fee + you get some decent firearms training) then all you need to do to buy online is buy it. You buy the rifle, if it's non-restricted there are no extra licensing/registration costs and they just ship it to you like any other parcel.
I'm fairly confident that Restricted firearms can be sent the same way, but you pay a licensing fee. Prohibited firearms can't be sent by mail since you can't buy them or legally own them 99% of the time anyway.

The difference is you guys have to take a course/own a license to own a firearm. We have no safety net of any sort, so we have to deal with this FFL bullshit because the righties can't get their shit together.
Re: Modacity shooters' thread
Next thursday is my paycheck! I found an FFL near me that will do a transfer for $20. I'm actually thinking about getting either the M44 or Type 53. I'm not a big person so those fit perfectly in my hand. When I held the 91/30 that thing was huge on me.
Also, will you guys hate me if I put on a red dot? My shooting eye is my not so good eye (can't get 20/20 vision even with glasses, had lazy eye as child), so I think that a red dot would be easier for me to see.

Red dot will only help you if you aren't shooting that far. If you're going for targets at 150m to 200m+ you will have just as hard of a time seeing as you would with iron sights most likely given that your vision sucks. Not to mention if your red dot isn't very sensitive in how dim or bright it gets when changing the intensity, you probably wouldn't even be able to see your target.
I've got a similar situation to you, but it's my left eye that sucks. Thankfully I shoot right handed, but sometimes I have to use my left eye to shoot (shooting with NODS on when doing night fires with a PEQ-15, they go over your non shooting eye). My m68 CCO is good as far as dot intensity goes, lots of steps in between fully bright and all the way off.
Re: Modacity shooters' thread
Like rooster said, red dot won't help you at range, personally not a fan of them as they tend to be more fuzzy unless you drop some cash on a decent model that gives a little more crisp reticle. That doesn't bother some people but I prefer the irons.
Re: Modacity shooters' thread
I was thinking red dot because of the pointability (is that a word?), accompanied with the M44/type 53 carbine style smallness. I will try out the irons when I first get it though. Are there any good sights other then sniper scopes for mid/shorter ranges? I doubt i'll be using the thing from too far away.
Re: Modacity shooters' thread
Unless you're firing more than 200m then you won't need a scope, unless you just want it for cool points or something, or you're trying to get a really tight grouping. Basically, it's just really unnecessary unless you feel like blowing your money.
Re: Modacity shooters' thread
Will be here next wednesday :D Going to buy another butt plate and some junk too. Reviews say the type 53 doesn't come with its own barrel cleaner so I might need to get one of those too. Should I get stripper clips?

Re: Modacity shooters' thread
Recoil pad? Seriously? I'm the same size and build as the average woman and I don't even use one. It's not like this is a .460 Weatherby Magnum...
Cartidge carrier is nice, but I'm not sure how much use you'll get out of it if you plan on loading your magazine all the way.
I think you ought to try the rifle out without the scope before you spend on the scope and accessories.
I also have lazy eye. 20/200 with the right eye, except the fuckers at the optometrist never even tried to patch my left eye to strengthen the right; just fixed me up with a contact lens ("20/40" if I wear it...I don't) at age 12 and called it a day. I shoot with my left now. You need to shoot with your good eye, plain and simple. You match the weapon to your eye, not to your preferred hand.
