Of course I had to undergo a strenuous background check and answer a whole bunch of really hard questions... and now I have to wait 11 days, cause I might just be a hot head who wants to off my wife in a fit of rage over her DRIVING ... nevermind

anyway, since I'm new to gun ownership any suggestions would be appreciated.

When you get it take it to a gunsmith to make sure it doesn't have a headspace problem. Chances are very good it does not but it is an old piece and they can get parts swapped at the depot.

Other than that, clean it get some ammo and have a good time at the range.

Oh and welcome to the dark side.

join the NRA as a life member, go to the bureau of elections and change your party affiliation, quit getting manicures every friday and start eating copious amounts of red meat.

A commie rifle, of all things.

Is it a 1930, 1938 or 1944?

I'm guessing 1930--am I right?, or is it the Chinese clone?

1943

I am waiting 11 days to receive mine, but the one I bought has a much darker finish. Bolt action seemed very smooth though.

Cool! I bought the same one last year, makes nice bruises

Friend of mine bought the M44, same thing but has the bayonet. He bought a synthetic stock, scope mount & scope, & a recoil compensator. Makes it look like a modern version, plus a lot less recoil.
I kept mine original though, so I don't through as much ammo.
Fun thing is, at the range, everyone turns their head to see where that incredible concussion is coming from

One older man wouldn't even fire near my friend while he was firing...(yea, pout about firing a rifle at a gun range).

i have one of those locked in a box in my closet with its' very own bayonet. unfortunately im only holding onto it for a friend cuz his mom hates guns. and i also hear that it has a nasty kick, saw the bruises on my friend's shoulder.

Bushmaster M4

This is what I bought a few months back. A3 flat top upper, and rail system installed on the forward grips. Installed a vertical forward grip, Surefire tactical light, Red Dot reflex sight, and I'm saving up to buy a Aim Point laser.

IT'S FUN!!!!!!!

WTG MT. Milsurp = fun. I doubt I'll buy a boltie (I'm a lefty) but they make nice holes in stuff.

What'd you end up paying for that....if you don't mind me asking? I've been pricing them out and seems you can get a decent one for under $200.
