Buying a new toy on the interweb machine and need an FFL. It's been about 10 years since my last internet gun purchase. Who do you go to around town. I live in Gardendale and work in Birmingham.

Bill was my go to guy. Unfortunately he is on the other side of town and transfers are free for members at Hoover Tactical.

Bill is mine as well. Doesn't help/hurt (depending if you are me or my wife) that I work just down the road.

Bill is a great guy. Although I no longer live in Leeds, I'll continue to use him as my FFL.

I'm not sure if Jerry Bell is still doing transfers or not, but that is who most of mine went through when I lived down there.

TS Arms is good people, and the owner is an ARFCOMer.

Hoover Tactical no longer accepts inbound transfers from individuals.  They changed their policy a couple of weeks ago.

Really? I just did one a few weeks ago.

They told me that they recently had an ATF audit in December, and the ATF auditor "advised" them not to accept transfers from individuals.  So they were no longer accepting inbound transfers from individuals.  Not certain if it's a new ATF policy, or perhaps the ATF discovered some situation unique to HTF.

+1 for Bill, but he is far away.

I haven't used yellowhammer arms as an ffl, but I have bought a few things from them and he is willing to work with you.  15.00 too so its not bad.  

Yellowhammer FFL Info

I also had good luck with FOP range, but I am also a member.

I ended up using Grabow outdoors in fultondale. It was $25, a little higher than others but it's less than 10 minutes from me. They were super nice. I bought the gun from deguns and they didn't have grabow's ffl license info on file. Grabow had the info to deguns immediately. Good experience.

The cool thing about this thread.. is that we have so many options here in Alabama.  
I saw in some kind of a survey that they have single digit numbers of FFLs in some liberal states...

What makes you say that?  Never had a bad experience.  Aside from regular stuff I've gotten there,  I bought a suppressor there and they were over the top helpful. Even with my dumb questions.

It's been years since I've been to Hoover tactical but I never had good service. Even bought a rifle, boots, and a jacket from there.

I'd be willing to go back by, just to see if it is any better. I'd like to work a trade if they won't lowball me.

Mustang munitions posted to their Facebook yesterday that they are now closed. I did a transfer there about 3 weeks ago and the shop was pretty empty and they said they were waiting on components to get manufacturing started up again.

I went to TS Arms for a transfer this week, and couldn't believe how many pistols were in stock.  They may have the largest pistol inventory in the Bham area. 
The transfer was flawless.  I was tracking the delivery, ant they called me within an hour after delivery to tell me it was ready to pickup. 

And while I was there, I found a nice AK...

I like doing business with Tim and his team.  Good people.

I was in there a couple months ago and I couldn't believe the inventory level either. They also have a Silencer Shop kiosk.

Yep. TS Arms is my go-to for all things.

They've built me two ARs in the last few months, and I just picked up three lowers on transfer today.

Less than two miles up the road.

They also have a museum that's really cool.

I impulse bought a suppressor at TS Arms last June. My stamp came in the first of May. Everything was flawless.

A few years ago I bought an SKS from an individual just because the price was right. I walked in and asked them about it because I had heard their commercials on the radio and I was in the area. I knew nothing about SKS'S and they took the time to tell me a little about them. I appreciate that.

I'm not close enough to use them on a regular basis, but I will check with them on larger purchases because of the previous service I have received.
