who makes the HK416 supp ? is that B&T from switzerland ?
Don’t know for sure. The rail doesn’t look like something B&T would make (to me).

was interested in the suppressor. Usually B&T makes the ones for the HK since they are closeby in Europe.
Hey Grant, if you decide to carry Surefire cans, could you get me some info on the .338 LM can they are coming out with. I am in the market for a .338 LM can but haven’t made up my mind on which one. I herd the AAC Titan at the silencertest shoot and was very impressed, but I would be more interested in a muzzle brake/ QD type setup like the Ops 12th Model. Let me know if you find out anything on the SF can
Already got the SF paperwork filled out and am sending it in. Will ask about the .338 can.
To be honest, one of the things that interests me greatly when comparing cans is the MB or FS the companies use. SF makes the best ones from what I have seen to date (YMMV). Their MB556K is outstanding.

The turkey hunters with the broken shotgun and the very confused look on their face was a grin worthy encounter though 
I would suggest getting a large sign made for behind the shelf.
“Yes, that is a real suppressor.
No, they are not illegal.
Yes, we sell them here.
No, they do not make one that is Hollywood quiet.
Yes, you have to pay for them before we send the paperwork in.
No, I can’t let you take it home before I get the paperwork back.”
That sucks, I’d kill to have a store like yours nearby. The one C3 shop has a strangle hold on the area. He charges more for C3 transfers than anyone else I’ve seen and his prices are such that if you don’t buy from him, by the time you pay his transfer fees it costs you the same as if you had just ordered from him.
I also forgot to thank you for the fast delivery a couple weeks ago on my LaRue goodies. Thanks
You’ll also need a sign which reads:
NO, we don’t have any green infrareds. 
YES, these are new guns, the package was opened because all firearms must be logged in when we receive them per Federal law. No we will not violate Federal law at your request for an unopened box. :eek:
YES, many new guns are test fired at the factory. NO, we don’t clean new guns.
"Do you ask the clerk at the grocery store if that’s their best price on milk/eggs etc? :rolleyes:
NO, I’m not on commission, I make the same money whether or not you buy anything.
NO, We don’t sale the Taurus 1911 nor Beretta Tomcats anymore, because we’ve had to send 100% of them back for various reasons. This loses us money and we’re not in the business to lose money.
YES, the Glock costs more than a Taurus 24/7, the Glock also happens to work.
I got a couple good guys near us that love the black rifle and frequent the store (and this forum), but they are few and far between. We also have two local deputies that virtually live in the store (which is cool).
It sucks when you have a class III like that. I have not decided what I am going to charge to transfers yet. What do you think is a fair rate?
C4
That is funny. Had a guy that wanted a Colt 6920, but didn’t want me to open the box as he liked them “NIB” as it improves their value.

Grant, in Ft Lauderdale, I’ve dealt with 2 C3/SOT’s.
One charges $50.00 per C3 transfer, which is on the low side, I believe.
Another (actual storefront) charges $100.00, which is about the average, however, if he has the item you’re transferring in stock, and you did not buy it from him, then the Class III transfer costs $200.00.
Now you’ll be able to provide some can options along with those 9mm SBR uppers, that would be interesting.
A local Class III here (Only the Best Firearms) has some great “yes, this is legal” signs at their shop and at gun shows.
Grant,
Since you will be a stocking dealer, I wouldn’t charge a thing for the transfer.
If some guy buys a can from someone else and you complete the transfer and treat them right, who do you think they will always buy their cans from in the future, the guy they got a deal from on a can out of state, or that super awesome dealer right in their own state that did the transfer for free and has a great selection and prices to boot?
If you don’t nickle and dime a guy on his transfer, when he comes to pick up his can and sees your inventory, you WILL get repeat business.
Sounds like Bob. He does all of my transfers, CIII and non.
Another (actual storefront) charges $100.00, which is about the average, however, if he has the item you’re transferring in stock, and you did not buy it from him, then the Class III transfer costs $200.00.
Sounds like OTB. They have the same 100% markup for something already in their store on non-NFA transfers as well, if they do them at all.
Now you’ll be able to provide some can options along with those 9mm SBR uppers, that would be interesting.
Yes, where are those 9mm SBR uppers? 
I think that most gun owners will just continue to abuse him and get their free transfers.
CIII transfers are much more of a headache for a dealer and any customer worth having is going to acknowledge this and be willing to pay for it.
If he has the great selection and prices, people will buy from him anyway. If I had a local stocking dealer that had what I wanted and sold under MSRP I’d never order another can from out of town.
I think it varies with the size and value of the gun. If I was transferring BAR SN 0001 it would cost a whole lot more than a SWD M11-Nine.
You got it! I use Bob for all xfers as well. Bob is not only the closest to where I am, but I like the privacy factor of not having to go to some gun/pawn shop where everyone wants to handle your stuff etc.
Vito did have some KAC M4QD cans to drool over last time I was at OTB, though!
ETA - on the 9mm cans, please have non-AAC options. I’d like a product that I don’t need Ms Cleo or a crystal ball to find out if they’ll even reply to my emails let alone where the product is.
From what I’ve seen $75 is a pretty fair, $50 seems on the low side but might “pull” a few more people if there is another C3 dealer within driving distance, $100+ starts getting in the range where I will pay for my transfer and take my item. I typically buy other stuff when I’m in a store. Anything from a box of ammo to another gun. It just depends on the service, act like you’re doing me a favor by overcharging me and I’m done, treat me like a valued customer and I’ll buy more, send more customers your way and try to buy from you before I order online next time. FWIW most of my transfers are for items I can’t get locally things like S&W 681’s and NIB Security Sixes. I’ve had a dealer get huffy with me because I didn’t buy from him. He didn’t have much to say when I told him I’d gladly buy all of the 681’s he had in stock at whatever price he had on the tag. I haven’t been back in his shop.
As for the doubling the price if you have it in stock. Personally I’d never buy anything from a dealer who did it. If he had a reasonable price to begin with I would have bought it from him. I always buy from the local guys if they can price an item within $50-$75 of what it will cost me to order it and pay the transfer fees. I don’t mind spending a little extra to get it locally, but it pisses me off to be charged double for a transfer or above MSRP.
The C3 I dealt with on my M16 charged $100. He did all the forms, etc. All I needed to do was have the sheriff sign where the little Post-It saying “CLEO signature”, then I had to sign it where it said, “Sign here Nate”.
I’ve been charged from $0 to $150 per transfer for Title II weapons.
Usually, when I buy an item from that dealer, the dealer has already built their profit margin into the item – so there is no additional charge.
When I have stuff transferred in, it’s up to them.
I’d say $50-$60 is a fair rate per transfer – from the consumer viewpoint.
