Question about purchasing handgun online....

[WestBank_Dan]

When you purchase a gun online, I understand they only ship to gun dealers instead of a residence. So what do you do first? Go to your local dealer and ask if a gun can be shipped to their store? I've been checkin out guns on budsgunshop.com and saw something I wanted for a good price.

Anyone had experience on purchasing a gun online?

I'd make sure you have a local dealer that will do the transfer before you do anything, then you contact the dealer and arrange payment. Let your local dealer know that you paid and they will exchange FFL's, they'll let you know when the gun comes in and you go fill out your paperwork.

Also check with you local gun shop to see if he can get close to the internet price including your ffl fees and shipping cost11

FYI, Morey at 10-8 Tactical has the best price of FFL transfers I believe. $20.
Jefferson hit me for $30 for my K98k (Morey wasn't open yet) and Gretna Gun wanted $50!!

Don't assume your dealer will do the transfer. If he sells the same gun in the store it would be rude to ask him to do a transfer. Precision charges $25 for a transfer. It was quick and easy.

It is rude, but if he can't match the price you are buying for, at least he makes money off the transfer.

I've used them before they were the cheapest around. Do they have a store front yet?

I will be using Bullet & Blade as he is a site sponsor.

Make sure you call and check the price as the ones listed for my area were wrong 18 months ago when I needed one and still are.

Why would a transfer go up in price?

I will give you one small bit of advice- if at any point during your sale you see the name TGScom- run away. They are the biggest source of headaches in the firearm shipping industry. The price is NOT worth it.

YMMV

I called J&J today and it rings about 6 times and then says the number has been disconnected. They haven't responded to an e-mail I sent Fri. I wonder what happened to them.

Vincent's Pawn Shop
1503 Collins Blvd
Covington
charges $25

j&j finally got back to me.

I used St. tammany arms and range in madisonville.

I didn't know about Vincent's. Thanks
