Hi from new york city

I looked into selling my 1939 bSw Mauser, because i'm tired of paying for the license we need here in the big apple. ($155 every three years) The more I tried to learn about the Mauser, the more I realized how much there is to know. When I realized the rifle is fairly rare I wanted to do research about it, and have already learned enoughabout the Mausewr rifle to make my head spin. Thanks already for all the info, and perhaps I can add something about the proof marks etc, that might help.

Welcome! Can't even imagine the headache of owning firearms in the City. We'd certainly love to see pictures of your BSW!

1939 bSw, ready, set, go?

I took a bunch of pics and tried to match some I've seen on the site. My daughter is coming by and hopefully will be able to put them on view. I also read that some people have problems posting pics. Anything I should be aware of? Thanks for walking me through, this hope it works out.

Is that 155.00 per gun? Is it the same both rifles and hand guns?

Bad but not that bad, even worse for pistols

The $155 fee is for shotguns and rifles only, I'm not sure if there is a max number you can own, but each one has to have a trigger lock and be stored in a safe, lockable case/enclosure. Hand guns in NYC are not for those weary of regulations and high fees. Then there is a carry permit which is even more difficult to obtain. In my opinion, once you've been ok'd for a carry permit, if anyone obtains a list of those allowed to carry , they have a guide to those who carry large amounts of cash, jewels etc. Anonymity in the big apple is a lot better defense than a Glock. Also, if you get caught with an unliscenced pistol, you're gonna need a good lawyer if you don't want to do time. So far there are no regulations about how many fishing rods and reels I can own!
