I tend get things off gun broker my LGS cannot get. I will show my dealer the item and see if they can get it or if I should order it on line. I give them the first crack at my business. It works out pretty well for the both of us.

Another thing to keep in mind when purchasing on-line is,
"Some" of my LGS won't even do the transfer if it's a new firearm that they also sell. And others will charge a higher fee if they also sell/stock the same (new) firearm.

I talked to my LGS this afternoon. I asked if they had any 45-70 rifles in stock. They only have ONE, a Winchester that looks like a Turnbull, priced like one too, sticker price is $1490

The guy at my LGS said "if you can find one online, give me a call and we can do the transfer for $50? I said ok.

I also asked about the quality of a new Marlin 1895 big bore guide gun, he said "absolute crap. and worse is Remington doesn't seem to care"

Picked up three handguns and one long gun.

As has been said no issues at all. Make sure you read all the fine print and what the sellers rules and regs are. Check shipping costs etc. I always look at what the previous buyers leave as comments.

Yep, and FFLs that play that crap are not my FFLs.

Why I prefer kitchen counter FFLs.

I've sold a few via gun broker, I got better money then what i would have gotten on a trade in and double what they offered me cash. LGS can be a bit rediculous with their offers.

I bought a few and one from a pawn shop/dealer that gave a 30 day, no questions asked guarantee with paid return shipping. I bought a mini 14 and it wouldn't fire certain ammo so I got back to them and they accepted the return with paid return shipping. What else can one want
