My 3 day inspection period nearly ran out last time before they would let me pick up the gun.

I'm just hoping to find someone that has knowledge of vintage guns and can handle the transfer for me without all the stress.

Thanks

I don't know what your town is like, Karl, but it sounds a bit like the small town we live near and to which I have guns sent. I had a pawn shop FFL that "researched" the gun so that they could tell me how much I paid for it (and all of the folks in the pawn shop when I came to pick it up). Dealers in my experience never include the cost with the gun, and I always ask them not to. I've had some FFLs unpack the gun "for me" and while they do need to get the serial number, I'm like you and want to be in charge of the gun to unpack and examine it.

So, I hope this means you are about to get the gun of your search. I hope so. Those pheasants will need tending this Fall and a new gun would do it just right.
