You plan on selling for less than 10% over wholesale?

I really don't plan on carrying too much. Just special orders and a lot of refinishing work. Transfers would be big. If I can beat anyone's price and still make money, all while proving to be a knowledge base for customers, that's great. A new take on a gun shop.

Best of luck. You have a properly zoned place to conduct an FFL operation from? If not, you better start looking.

As mentioned above, Beech Groove has $15 transfers for firearms, and can also handle your NFA needs.
I think transfers at plainfield are around $20-25 and items in stock are 10% over wholesale.
But its always nice to have other options. Good luck.

Good luck we did all that great stuff for about ten years and then decided we were tired of beating our head against the wall. Unless your going to go full time into guns and gunsmithing you can't make any money at it. Wait till you get a price on insurance!

The best way to make a million bucks in a gun business....
...Start with 2 million.

What number of guns did you stock that your insurance was so high?
And I'm only looking to make a decent living. Not be a millionaire.

It will be hard to compete with Gunbroker and Auction Arms. Best be would be with used guns if you can buy them right,
10/16/2011 10:08:40 PM
i would mainly be doing transfers. never mind, nobody reads the OP anyway

We stocked around 150-200 guns but that wasn't what made the insurance high. If you are going to work on a gun even to take it apart and put it back together you have to have good liability insurance. If they take it out and it blows up even if it was there problem they are going to come after the guy that worked on it. Gunsmithing is what will cost you the money. You’re holding something that has thousands of pounds of pressure 4in in front of you face. Shit can happen but lawyers don't see it that way. Just make sure you have good insurance is all I am saying. We never had to use it but if we did I wanted to be covered.

No one is trying to crush your dreams, I'm sure everyone would like to see you succeed. You just need to be realistic about it. First, if you plan on doing this from your home you'll need to be properly zoned (if you're only doing transfers). Your county/city must be OK with having people come to your home to pick up firearms. If you're not doing it from home, then you'll need to rent a space that is properly zoned. You'll have FFL fees and your state license to sell handguns. It all adds up. It's hard to decent $ doing $15-$20 transfers when compared to your expenses.

Really, when did that happen? I guess it's still better then some of the other options in the area.
