Quoted:
I am in the Central Square area. My main thing is I am just trying to find someone competitive that doesn't say you pay list for something that they don't have on the floor. CDNN was a easy example for me to show them on paper where they could buy the rifle at a decent cost. I still want people to make money otherwise if they can't make money, they won't stay in business.
I take it your in the Watertown area? I have no issues with driving there to do business. Let me know if someone in that area is good.
Thanks
I help out at Gunshows and occasionally around this shop:
Van Tassel's Gunsmithing Service
30412 NYS Rte. 37 Evans Mills, NY 13637 (315) 629-4774
Mary usually charges $25. for transfers; good customers or multiple guns, she usually reduces the fee. This time of the year she's wicked busy, but she can/will get you most whatever you're looking for. FWIW: They've been in business for 25 years. We'll be at the Syracuse show the 18~19 row N & O couple tables down from Sherluk.
While I won't speak for Mary (She's the owner) I can check what's available and give a price that'll be very close.
If you call someplace like CDNN ask if they have a FFL on file from Van Tassel's or wherever you choose:
Be sure to spell out, understand, and agree on what's to transpire: specify what's coming, make sure the dealer is aware if there are "issues" that might throw a wrench into the works, for example if it's got a collapsible stock make sure they know and that when you get there to pick it up you're going to remove the stock and install something different to make it compliant, if it's coming with hi-cap magazines tell the dealer that you're coming with a USPS Flat-Rate box addressed to your cousin in Florida so the dealer can put them into the box, seal it and go out with the mail, or what other arrangement you've come to. A written letter outlining all the details makes life so much easier, which often leads to cheaper prices!
