Internet gun buying. Newbie

Well I have been lurking on gunbroker dot com website for many months and since I want to be like Don when I grow up I was looking for a cheaper Sig716 than new.

Never have bought a gun online before but hey mainstream media says I can just buy one no background checks or nuttin why not?

So I found one no reserve and free shipping so I put in a bid of $1499.99 and it one. A place up in Utah. Paid by PayPal via credit card. Easy Peasy.

So not knowing what to do I look up an FFL  on a website locator page and found a couple close. One was out of business gunsmith. One was the indoor range I go to. I called him and he said I would have to be a "member" for them to do a transfer. Being what a pain it is and all. I said ok. Then third on the list was my small little town hardware store. I called them and sure. Just give the seller the number and they will exchange info.

A couple of days later I get a tracking number. It was during the holidays so I wasn't expecting fast but in a few days it was at the hardware store. I called them and let my number to let me know when to come in and pick up. Couple days go by no call. So after another day I just go in.  Super nice guy just really busy. It is leaning up against the wall near the break room with my name and number on it. Fill out the paperwork. Apparently a CCW does t matter. He calls in background check. After 30 minutes I ask what I own him. He says $20 which I give to the cashier at the front and off I went.

It really is easy to buy guns over the internet. Lol. As long as your not in a big hurry.

Also ordered 460 rounds from WI and have them as well. Now just need to shoot.

Pics or didn't happen.

$20 is a fair price for the transfer, I've paid more & less depending. I personally don't care for gunbroker but glad it worked for you.

You won't believe how smooth that gun is during recoil and with the action doing its thing

Sorta begs you to pull the loud toggle again, and again, and aga...

I'm glad you found a place that would take care of you and it sounds like you got a good deal. That is a fair price for the transfer. As long as you're clean, buying online is as easy as buying in person, although not as easy as the news would make it out to be. I get absolutely furious to hear politicians or so called "experts" on the news talk about how people can just buy a gun online with no background check. I can't stand it, it makes me want to put hands on em.

I've bought a lot of stuff off gunbroker. I've also bought off texas gun trader which means most transactions I can complete face to face legally without transaction paperwork.
