FFL Transfers:
An FFL transfer is when you purchase a gun online. Because of the Kennedy assassination, laws were made in the US that make it so guns cannot be shipped right to your door (except under special circumstances, which I won't get in to). 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.

Cool beans, dude. If you decide to buy, post pics. If you're not sure, take pics and post them here and some people (like Ross for instance) can probably help you out a lot.

Went to Cabellas today to check them out. They had both the regular and carbine models. They had the bolt locked though on the regular ones, but the carbine ones were unlocked.

Most of the ones they had there were pretty beaten and bashed up, and yet they were all $170 :| I did like the feel of them a lot though. Just wish I could purchase one for $100 somewhere Because then i'd just buy it now.

not even trying to troll or any of that kind of shit here, but why is it all you guys fuckin buy is mosin nagants, sks's and ak's? you realize there are a lot of other beautiful weapon systems out there and all you're doing is circle jerking how many mosins you fucking have. i realize they are cheap, but everyone and their dog has a goddamn mosin and sks. why not go and buy something more unique? especially when you already have like 4 of them already. right now i'm just really confused, this is a legitimate question.

Because they are cheap, reliable, and accurate; that's why. Personally, though, I don't have one. I'd like to get one purely because they are cheap to buy and cheap to shoot, but there are many other guns I find more desirable. The German Gew.88 Commission rifle, a Arisaka Type 44, MAS-36, the Norvegian Krag-Jorgensen...all really awesome and I want one of each. I'm also a whore for reproduction black powder, percussion cap...these technically don't even classify as firearms under US law.

Assault rifles/civilian versions of them are for pussies.

I don't even own a Mosin. But if someone wants to start doing a lot of centerfire shooting, it's a good and price effective place to start.

But in all seriousness they are great for casual shooting. They're cheap to buy, cheap to shoot, and easy to maintain. For someone who's starting out collecting they're a great first gun that come with a historic value at an affordable price. Personally I'm not big on the whole owning 3 of the same gun, although there are several variations to the Mosin which are worth collecting and some are more rare than others.

Also, and I cannot emphasize this enough, the ammo is cheap
