Yes, and yes Without an FFL the buying and selling of Firearms is a very fine line that’s also very vague. This is especially true today following the 2024 ATF ruling of “engaged in the business”, and previous ATF raid/shooting of Bryan Malinowski who they felt was illegally buying and selling...

There are a lot of dealers who do this but there also some FFL’s who don’t rake the family over the coals and are fair when they buy collections. Typically it’s the smaller guys and specialty shops that are more fair. Personally I explain the costs, expected time line and different options to...

I’ve posted on several threads for guns and optics when pricing is out of line with current market values. At the end of the day it’s their item and their choice how to price it. Everything worth what someone is willing to pay

You’re about 3-5years too late on sub $12k. Realistically you’re looking $15-20k, unless you find a screaming deal on a used gun. My recommendation is to look at a Chapuis or Heym and skip the other brands.

You’re absolutely right lots of kids today have no interest in the firearms their parents and grandparents own. Many might want 1 to remember them by or because they have a memory with it but would rather turn the rest into cash. I see/hear about this weekly. There are several members here on AH...

Your friend is a new member to the forum and his first posts are an attempt at utilizing the marketplace to sell stuff, rather than participating in other aspects of AH. The responses the post received offered constructive criticism concerning the initial asking price. Your friend seems to...

You can see a line on the barrel just above where the receiver meets the forearm wood in both the last 2 photos. First thing I noticed. Thought it might’ve been a shadow until the second photo also had it in the same spot. Below are a couple generic Google Photos of sleeving that might better...

I’ll take it

Congratulations on a bull of a lifetime

You need to contact someone else because that info is wrong. I just did a few 4457’s for this year’s trips and the Custom Officers asked if I needed any suppressors done when I walked up, and were surprised I wasn’t taking any. That’s until they checked my firearms, then the questions about the...

Beautiful 28ga, would love to own something similar.

I typically travel with 2 Rifles and 1 Bow, or 3 Rifles when going on safari. My go to case is an older SKB 4 Gun case. The bottom holds my bow, 18 arrows, Binos/Rangefinder, Broadhead case, release and quiver. I put a the middle layer of foam, then 2 rifles in soft cases. When traveling with 3...

You bring up an interesting point. A treed leopard is different than a Leopard bayed up in rocks or otherwise on the ground. Where I’d prefer to hound hunt a leopard, many of the Toms don’t tree so Id rule out a bow hunt for one there. What percentage of the Leopards you chase tree vs bay-up on...

There are certain stores that are better to deal with in terms of collections or large lots. Most dealers, especially pawnshops will lowball the crap out of you because it’s about cashflow and turns. You’re better off going to a specialty shop that deals in that stuff or a small guy who only...

You and I have a similar mindset; just embrace the suck for what it is, it’s all part of the grander adventure and experience. However, I’m weird and often sleep better on a plane than I do in my own bed. Like you and a few others I’m primarily a OneWorld traveler, so unless there’s a huge...
