Trust is done...where to shop?
gr8smiles replied to gr8smiles's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
Sssshhhhhh.... I'd tell you but you would not hear me:) Let's just say I am sporting some AAC swag these days. -
Agree.....I had some luck catching the peeps walking around. Added a couple nice Smiths to the fold. Then, went by the new range down the street and gave them a good welcome.

Kudos to Mike. I have made several purchases from him and his service has been exemplary and his prices as well. Now, just waiting on 'the man'.... -
Confused about application for C & R
gr8smiles replied to Glenn's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
I saw a place for the signature of the CLEO. I took it there and he signed it. He signed in two places...I guess he signed both copies. Whether I did it right or not, I have no idea. C&R did come today, so they must not have cared how I did it. I just did what I thought the directions stated....oh well....call me an over-achiever:) -
Confused about application for C & R
gr8smiles replied to Glenn's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
There are places that are too be signed by the CLEO. Some here have mailed it to there CLEO; some have done what I did; some have left it blank and let the Feds mails them a copy. I filled out everything I could, took it to him and he signed where he was supposed too, mailed it off. It seems confusing...welcome to the Feds world:) -
I just got my C&R. I understand that I should make copies and send a signed copy for any transactions....correct? What vendors should I patronize that will give me a discount with this? What are some other tips and tricks? Besides a bigger safe:)

Confused about application for C & R
gr8smiles replied to Glenn's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
I filled mine out and then took it personally to the CLEO (my local chief of police) and watched him fill it out. I then sent it priority mail so I could track it if need be. I just got mine in the mail today:) Now what am I gonna buy 1st:) -
Haven't there been gun shows for years at that mall? :)

I have the 220 Elite and a several Kimbers. The Kimber fits me better and I would not make the swap. The 220 seems large to me. I have other Sigs as well, 226, 239,232, and 238. Just in .45, I like the Kimber better. I did buy a threaded barrel from Sig so that I could get a 45 can. The threaded barrel fits very snug and the frame is hard to cycle. I ran about 75 rounds through it at Charlie's yesterday to loosen it up. Then, I shot my Kimber and in my hands, I could put several clips in a 5" circle at 25 yards. The 226 and the 220 were larger groups. But, as always, YMMV:)

Thanks...is a 9mm or 45 better, or does it matter? Will I need slugs or shot? What size? How many? I would need to buy some slugs. Regular 9 or 45 ammo? or JHP or something like that? Sorry, I like to be prepared. Rick

So, is my shotgun a good choice? or should I find another option? Thanks Rick
-
What would I need for this? Kimber 1911 or one of my Sigs Sig 556 with Eotech sight (what distances are rifle targets? Shotgun? I have a Browning B2000 SemiAuto with a 26" Barrel Skeet Choke....would that work if I took out the plug so I have 5 shots? Holster for handgun Ammo Eye/Ear protection Anything else? Thanks, I am a newbie but think this may be fun:)

Bubba, you know better:) They don't exist:) -
I sent mine in today via Express Mail so I could track it. I took it personally to the CLEO in my city and watched him sign. (He is a friend) I mailed the whole application. Did I do that right? Was I supposed to leave a copy with the police dept?

Just wanted to drop a note and give some props and a few shouts to the illustrious caveman. College son (22 yo) and friends (also of legal) age were headed to lake from Knoxville for a weekend of guns and boats, not necessarily combined:) I told them to stop by Cavemans store: West Town Wine & Spirits 7319 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919 (865) 212-9463 They went in and were greeted by the 'armed infidel' himself. Thanks for taking good care of them and I am sure they will help spread the word about your store. They enjoyde visiting and meeting you and appreciated the good prices....by the way...love the little Ruger Thanks Rick
