Best C&R Deals Now vs. Ever

[techres]

It has been brought to my attention that there is a distinct lack of C&R discussion taking place on this site so I thought this would be a good place to start:

1. What is the best C&R deal/firearm you have ever gotten?
2. What is the best C&R deal/firearm out there today?

No poll, just talk!

Oh, and remember, this kind of thread requires a goodly number of pictures guys & gals...

I'm awful with having pics of everything, lol.

My best C&R buy has probably turned out to be my Swiss K31's. My first purchase 3 years ago from AIM. $89 bucks each if you bought two. I went in person (taking the long way to see my parents) and got two beauties. Funny thing is, I almost didn't buy two. Anyway they have doubled (easily) in price in 3 years.

Second best? Like new Yugo SKS for $119 bucks delivered. I actually got it just before my c&r came...

Worst deal? Nagant revolver. Paid about 85 bucks 2 years ago and now they are worth 79, lol. First c&r pistol.

Best deal out there? maybe the 91/30's for 79 bucks or hex receivers for 10 bucks more. Maybe the CZ-82 pistols for 189-199.

I don't know if this particular gun is c&r as it has so many different parts on it (most WWII era best I can tell) and a new barrel and stock it may not be c&r anymore and I bought it FTF, but I got what looks like a virtually NIB Springfield Armory M1 Garand at the last Crown Point gun show for $575. I have got to get a pic of that up. It's gorgeous!

I was very impressed with the K31 at an appleseed this summer. The guy using it really pounded them out and kept up with the semi's.

I wish I had real C&R's. My Izzy has been sporterized, and Ak's aren't old enough YET!

I would have loved to have been into guns when the 6.5 Gustav rifles were around.
