uh...what's C&R?

"Curio and Relic" antique guns. Highly collected and beating the stock market at like a 15% increase in value year after year. Includes Mausers, Mosins and Mannlichers as well as American made old Colts and Springfields. People with a C+R license usually mail order C+R guns enmasse and really do well for themselves in the long run as an investor. When an antique make and model firearm is no longer imported then the retail price usually doubles. Its supply and demand

Tradewinds pawn shop on 98

It's where I bought my first Mauser, a rare Columbian in its original caliber from the factory in 30-06. Long since traded, but was pretty cool.

Also Dutchmans gun store on 98, but going towards Foley. I haven't been there since moving back home, so it's been 7 years or so since I've been there, but they had some cool stuff. They had a 03 Springfield certified to have been used in a famous war movie, and one of those WW2 single shot 45 caliber sheetmetal pistols that were airlifted to the Resistance movement to "have a gun to get a better gun". Also, after Obummers first election Dutchmans was stockpiling SKS's by the crate and in Obummers second election they had hundreds of SKS's and were like one of the last stores in the area to still have Yugo SKS's when the imports dried up

Carson's Pawn on Pace Blvd in Pensacola. Yes, it's a bad part of town, but that's were the cheap guns are. At Carson's I've seen half price M1917 revolvers, 1895 mausers for $100 and WW2 sheath knives, etc.

Dutchmans closed a couple years ago. Also if your in Pensacola Uber's lock and gun has some good stuff but its usually priced high.

I was in Carson’s the other day and they didn’t have much at all. The standup rack behind the counter that’s usually full was empty.
