Downstate FFL For Transfer?

[atc250r]

Thinking about ordering a pistol online and having shipped to a local FFL. I'm in the Orange/Rockland area and some places are outrageous on their transfer fees so I don't mind driving a little to get a deal. Anybody have suggestion? Maybe there's a member here that hooks fellow members up?

Try G's Shooting Sports in Chester. Hes a home based FFL and has been very fair with me in the past.

Check it out, put in your zip code here to see a list of FFL's in Bud's database Discount Guns for Sale - Buds Gun Shop-- FFL Search

Thanks for the heads up. I should've thought of that. Got a couple off the list I need to call. Hopefully the prices listed are still accurate on some because the one I used last time went up $10 and it doesn't reflect that change on Bud's site.

I would check other sources than the 'list' supplied by Bud's Gun Shop. Out of curiosity I just checked my zip code with their FFL finder. I did so for a radius of 5 miles. I can think of at least 4 dealers with an FFL within that distance - only one was shown as a result of the check with Bud's FFL finder and it was (in my estimation) one of the biggest rip-off dealers on Long Island.

Other sites that have FFL locators have given me more numerous results in the past than showing a single dealer. I did a write-up on the subject on my blog about two years ago relative to dealers who do ammo transfers and found some useful sources to locate dealer's with FFLs who do transfers for guns & ammo. Here are three other FFL locators that I found instead of Bud's:

http://www.gunbroker.com/ffl/searchforffl.aspx

http://www.luckygunner.com/new-york-ammo-sales

www.fflgundealers.net

When I just ran my zip code through GunBroker's FFL locator, the results showed 6 dealers within 5 miles as opposed to one shown by Bud's. I much prefer to use the one from GunBroker. I figure why use a site like Bud's when they refuse to ship to residents of Nassau County, NY for no good reason in my opinion.

No shipping to any of the following counties:


Bronx Kings

Nassau Queens

Richmond New York

Billing address cannot be in any of these counties.

As I had someone at their shop explain to me, when I called to inquire why they do not ship to residents of Nassau, they apparently seem to think Nassau County is in essence part of NY City and thus under the same restrictions because it borders NYC! I understand others have called to inquire likewise with similar results. It seems that no matter how much I or others have tried to explain to them that such is not true - they stubbornly keep that restriction in place for residents of Nassau County. I never heard of a lamer excuse to screw people over when it comes to firearms and ammo sales.

If you are within Rockland talk to Vince of Gramsarms, about $30 for transfers

Try sending a pm to @bo99 he's in Sullivan County and doesn't charge a lot and maybe you might find a new toy
