<p>[QUOTE="Spectre1995, post: 208660, member: 3957"]If you look towards the late 19th century (1890-1900) you'll see a lot of older firearms that are the predecessors to some of the newer ones today. For instance, you can find an early 1890's Russian Mosin Nagant usually for less than $1000. German Gewehr 1888's can be found as well. If you don't want specifically a military firearm, you can find Harrington & Richardson revolvers that were made in the late 19th century for anywhere around $50 to $250 depending on condition. Check your local gun shows if they have any in your area. Remember the cutoff for "antique" in terms of federal law is that it has to be made before 1898. For California, it's 1899. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helped![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
