Agreed. I had my C&R for years but let it expire 2 years ago since I was no longer actively purchasing and selling anymore. You get much better prices online through places like aimsurplus, SOG, and centerfire systems than you'll ever find at a gunstore or gunshow. The paperwork is easy and they process it quickly. The only downside is that you have to keep your records as you could be audited so people who fear big bother need not apply. CMP is another great site for getting M1 Garines, carbines, and M1903s. Pretty much all of these out there are CMP rebuilds anyway, might as well get them straight from the source.
