I have been dealing with my local FFl dealer for some time now. When I say “dealing” I mean putting up with his shit. I’ve never bought anything off the guy because his prices are way above retail. For instance $30 for a brownell’s mag. $799 for an armscor .22 ar, $14.99 for a box of prvi 55gr. ammo, that kinda crap.
Now he’s charging a $40 fee to do transfers and when my wife went in to buy me some ammo they offered no assistance and blew her off. Even though she had a list in her hand and knew exactly what she wanted. Does anyone know of a dealer who charges something reasonable (say $25) who is somewhere in my area? I really don’t care if it costs me $15 in gas. I’m so done with this guy.
BTW I get about 15 mpg and live in Gettysburg, PA. and he/she would have to take transfers from non dealers.
I take the drive up to Mechanicsburg Ordinance in Mechanicsburg and have Rich there do all my transfers I get shipped in for my internet orders. It’s about $20 or so with him for a transfer last time I was there (and I get worse gas mileage than you).
Go see Eric at Stubby Gear, he’ll take care of you and while he doesn’t have a huge inventory, he will order just about anything you need and his prices are comparable to Brownells and others. The other thing I like about Eric is that during the “Obama” gun crunch, he didn’t jack up his prices on P-mags and stuff like a lot of the other local dealers did.
You could try Taylor’s Trading Post. I never bought anything there but I checked his shop out and talked with him for a while. Seems like a real stand-up guy. Brad
I used to live over in Carlisle and used a guy over in Hburg.
I REALLY miss PA… the land of the $10 transfer. I now consider myself lucky to have found like the one guy is South FL who only charges $25 per transfer!?! :mad:
