I son't know much about the old mil surp around.. I see a few at the local gun show. Most of I see is the typical .303 brit Lee Enfileds, and the odd P14.

As for owning a gun here, a bit of a PIA. You have to take seperate training courses (or you can challenge the tests) for both long guns & restricted firearms (eg, hand guns, AR-15 style rifles, and similar firearms.) Full autos, handguns with barrels less than 4" or calibers less than .32 cal (except for rim fires) we cannot own.

Now for storage. All long guns must be stored without the bolt, or trigger locked, or in a locked cabinet. Ammo must be stored & locked seperate from the guns. Handguns or restricted firearms must be trigger locked & stored in a locked cabinet or case. We can only shoot restricted firearms at an approved range, not even our own back yard if we live in the country.

All firearms must be registered. Right now the current gov't is trying to remove the requirement to have long guns registered, and hopefully that will happen.

Hope that helps some.. feel free to ask questions and I will answer with what I know.
