Wish us luck...BATF interview for FFL

bargeahead said

Well now; we have officially been in business and having inventory to sell one week today. We picked up 12 used police trade-ins last Friday and besides the ad on a certain auto forum my partner placed a vaguely worded ad on a certain popular online site last Friday evening. Phone calls and e-mails started flying in at 0800 Sat' morning. On Wed' we had to "step back" and get caught up on notes to ourselves and paperwork.
Bottom line......we're going back tomorrow for more inventory and hopefully get a better deal based on buying more.

Many thanks to all the members who have offered words and messages of support and/or expressed interest.

Who knows ? Indoor range and gun shop might be not too far in the near/distant future.

Thanks again folks. ;-)

Good to hear Barge! I'll probably go shooting tomorrow morning at the local range (after I get more dog food, I'm out again). Everytime I go, I can't help but take a peek at whatever they might have on consignment, so the range, if it can be done, may well be worth the investment. Every Sunday morning they also have a one hour free coffee thing so everyone shows up, gets jazzed on coffee and talks guns, CCW holsters, etc. They also do CCW training there but I'm betting IL. still doesn't allow it.

Have you thought about dealing in the Rock Island Armory 1911's? I picked one up months ago and am very happy with it. The only FTF I had was with an aftermarket mag. They are very reasonably priced (I paid 425 out the door), reliable and more accurate than I expected. Plus, they make great builder guns and would bring more business to the gunsmith.
