[Gunbroker.com](http://Gunbroker.com) and ship to FFL of choice for no more than $20 on the local end! There are several around, Buffalo Gun Center charges I think $60-70 just for a fucking FFL transfer. Your main options to view guns locally are Johnsons in Lockport, Dicks, Gander Mountain and Buffalo Gun Center. Interested if there are other spots I don’t know of so spill the beans Freek. 😉 ---

I’m with you…not a very friendly vibe in there in my few experiences. Gun center is SUPER high. I mean $60 or $70 for an FFL transfer, WTF? I know a few guys that work there though…good people and knowledgeable. You can handle any gun (pistols with permit only of course) and they are cool in my experiences. I myself prefer FTF sales…keepin it on the DL. 😉 ---

I guess I’m the exception as I’ve had good experiences with Johnson’s and Gun Center. Last time I was at gun center was for a holster and the guy (old gray haired guy) was really helpful and last time I was at Johnson’s the old guy packing a glock was great when I bought my glock. Being my first handgun and a while since I’d torn one down he went over everything about tear down and basic cleaning/maintenance. I will say if you’re at all left leaning I guarantee you’re going to leave gun center pissed off as everyone I’ve ever talked to there has had no restraint discussing their right wing ideology. As a right winger myself I just found it amusing thinking about how someone like Joe probably leaves ready to punch babies. ---

We’ll maybe I am a lil but it’s also an investment. 😉 We should chat…I’d love to learn more about the building of AR’s and all the components etc… I might be looking to build another AR soon though I really want a converted Saiga 12 next. ---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ---------- > [@Oasis24-7](#): > > i think it is paul at bfc that is extreamly helpful everyone else there is better than you. It’s no different than any performance shop or internet clique I suppose. I know people at BGC through a friend and they are nice to me.

If you decide what you want to buy, you can shoot me a pm. I have a source for guns. I got my Glock for $150 less than gun center, and my kimber for $200 less. Since I know you’re a good guy, I will call my guy and tell him I know you. This also goes for other super OG members I feel I can trust not to make me look like an idiot ---
