Yes. They are not going to fuck around with anything firearm related when the ATF is looking for any reason to slap them with a fine or pull a license. |

Find a FFL friendly pawnshop, it is gravy to them on top of their normal business, just my experience.
LGS generally gouges you as you are competing with them. Cabelas or equivalent is just a corporate bureaucracy with tons of red tape. |

Why do people get shit sent to big box stores like that?
Do you not have a local gunstore? I wouldn't get my shit sent there ever. The only chain store I would even consider sending a firearm to is ACE Hardware. |

Only the employees buy guns with FFL transfers to Cabelas since they get a big employee discount in fees, but said everyone else uses a local FFL that is MUCH cheaper.

The problem is that big box like Cabelas' stores employ non-gun people to handle firearms. Same as walmart. It came from an legitimate FFL to them as an FFL, but their software likely only has major manufacturers in it. So any small manufacturer like B&T is just an excuse for not knowing WTF to do with their POS software that keeps their corporate transfer logs. Demand a gift card &/or free transfer for their incompetence. Learn from your mistake and pick a small time FFL guy that hand writes his logs and will more than likely be lost in a tragic fire if hilldog gets elected.

Cabela's is the only place I know that cannot process a firearm sale in less than 1.5 hours. I was told they need 7 signatures including the MOD. I thought it was a fluke the first time, but it was the same the second time. There will be no third.

Cabelas uses an electronic bound book to acquire and transfer firearms via an ATF variance. Sometimes the manufacturers are not listed if it has not come through a store before. It is acquired as none and they have to email pictures of the manufacturer to a Firearms Compliance Program Manager in order to have that manufacturer listed in the EBB.

Yeah, ammo is way over priced. Like with regards to .45 ACP, the shit you see online for 14 or 15 bucks fo a box of 50 rounds, costs like 22 or 24 dollars there. |

Just go look at the stuffed animals and fish tanks while you wait.

I hadn't bought a gun from Cabelas until some gift card and discount stuff allowed me to get a CZ Evo below what I'd have to pay wholesale. Tons of redundant paperwork, hand offs to other employees, and pain in the ass. It took an hour and the place was empty. Wasn't worth the savings, won't be doing that again.

My wife bought a revolver and some ammo at Bass Pro once and their corporate policy is idiotic.
After the sale and an absurdly long transaction time, they made her wait outside in front of their damned store and a manager brings it out to her as if she's some sort of a criminal conducting a back ally deal. Then she walks right back into the store to take it upstairs to their range to try it out. Having been bought out by Bass Pro; Cabelas customer service will likely get worse. |

What gun? May or may not have been a FDE TP9. The serial number is located underneath the rail on the underside of gun. Its visible via a slot in the rail however. Neverless that wouldnt suffice for the dickhead trying to read it. I had to watch as he repeatedly tried to pull the rail off .
Buddy do you think its really that easy? Fucking idiot. I am a very well dressed friendly male that was given the silent treatment from him after I told him politely two times that you have to disassemble the firearm to remove that rail. |

F*ck them. Long story short I take an hour out of work to go pick up a firearm I had transferred in only to be told that the firearm I had transferred in needs to be verified by Corporate and logged into their system as a legitimate manufacturer. WTF?!? After calling me to let me know that it is here and ready to be picked up AND wasting an hour of my time filling out bullshit paperwork that had nothing to do with the background check I get told they cant transfer the firearm to me today because they are waiting on a form they submitted to corporate to allow it to be logged in to their books. Are you kidding me? Does this have something to do with the Bass Pro takeover? I know I know find a different FFL but thats not easy where I live and also more difficult to find one that is available when I have time to get away from work. The kicker to this whole story is that I had to watch some dickhead in the gun library treat the firearm like it was worth $20 as he was trying to tear it apart to verify the serial number. TL/DR Cabelas wont transfer me the firearm because of some corporate policy regarding them never tranferring a B&T firearm before. It has nothing to do with the 4473/NICS check. They cant even do the background check until they get approval from Corporate. :Gun library guy abuses the firearm right in front of me :Big shot at the background check computer yells my name out loud like its a roll call Whatever happened to customer service? Am I wrong for feeling like they are creating this hassle for no reason? So they've received a gun and they're not logging it into their books until corporate approves it? Sound like they want to get some love from the ATF. |

Well comrade sounds like you need to move a little farther south if you want to FFL through a large merchant. You are literally at the Wal-Mart of guns, what did you really expect. If it ain't name brand, flag on the play. Seriously the only thing longer is trying to get through a TSA line with an ISIS tattoo, lol.
