Thought I'd give a final update in case this happens to someone else. I had to be out of the country from May onwards so my wife followed up on this. She called the NFA branch again mid August and talked to our examiner to remind him about the trust situation. A couple of weeks later the...

Thought I'd give an update on this issue: After considering the options I thought the best was simply to wait and give time for the paperwork to make its way into the system before calling. I waited about 8 weeks after my check was cashed then called the ATF and talked to the NFA examiner...

I would stay away from Ford's, I think that company has jumped the shark. Last guns I sent took just shy of a year to get done and to say I was less than impressed with the work would be the understatement of the year. In fact I liked the "before" guns better than the "after" version.

I'm not sure I get this right about making another 'original' but to make it identical to the one that was sent in would involve backdating both the signatures of the grantors / trustees and notarization, something I would assume the notary would be less than willing to do.

Long story short: I purchased my first NFA item yesterday from a local in state seller using a revocable NFA trust. We went to a Class III FFL to handle the paperwork and make sure everything was done corectly. It turned out two copies of the trust needed to be done so I handled them the...

Don't forget SGammo. They have very good prices and are a great source for Winchester Ranger if you use it.

For me it would be a S&W 629-4 with a 3" barrel.

You're welcome. I thought I'd pass the link around, although I haven't bought .223 in a while, I filled up on .45 ACP and 7.62x54R recently and both times I managed to get better prices and lower shipping than AIM, Natchezss etc. thanks to their links to online sellers I had no idea even existed (!)

My latest is a S&W 18-2... I hope it's not the last though... :D

I almost always come out ahead, the main reason is that I mainly buy "cheap" used guns (less than $1K) which are always in demand and easy to unload. I have no problems selling them either once I decide to do so. I imagine that buying a collection of brand new high end custom 1911s would yield a...

Looks like Aim surplus is out of their PMC which is my favorite for the price. Did you try looking for it on gun deals? They have some pretty good links sometimes. http://gun-deals.com/ammo

After watching the story again the circumstances really seem to indicate a neighbor or acquaintance of the gun owner did it on purpose...

I can't even remember exactlt what I bought so far this year, probably between 15 to 20 revolvers so far.

Nice to see so many people are joining. Once you're a lifer don't forget do make a donation from time to time, especially to the NRA-ILA.

No shortage of ammo here in FL. Stock can be bit light at my local Wal-Mart but so is their Hot Salsa availability as this store seems to have the poorest stock / re-ordering management of any other Wally World I have been into. Everywhere else ammo is plentiful. Older and collectible guns seem...
