    Is gun cleaning a good business?

    Do you have experience with cleaning a variety of handguns? Some guns you just cannot rely on the Numerich diagram. Do you have someone that you can rely on for help is you are unsure of a particular firearm before proceeding? Are you willing to taking in really...

    Homeless Voice - Panhandlers - Fort Lauderdale Intersections

    I will pull into the parking lot of a business (if allowed) and call the police about an aggressive panhandler at the intersection. I will wait for the police to show up and point out the panhandler. I will repeat the call if I see the panhandler there again.

    9 mm WWB available

    Did anyone care to think that maybe the Ammunitiontogo.com replacement cost have gone through the roof. Vendors selling to Walmart are OBLIGATED to sell x quantities at x prices. Ammunitiontogo.com probably does not have the negotiating power as Walmart.

    Wait time on a form 4?

    I seriously doubt that many were for private transfers. Most were probably tax free govt. transfers.

    Anyone notice in decline in quality control in post election era?

    The election was November 4, 2008. A lot of stuff that was backordered since then have been slowly coming in. I'm talking about long established models.

    Anyone notice in decline in quality control in post election era?

    Anyone notice the decline in the quality control of firearms and especially ammunition in the post election era? Last week, a couple with 3 brand X revolvers (serial numbers not too far apart) could not fire more then one round as the cylinder was not machined to spec. The cylinder would...

    Why is 7.62x54R going up too?

    People cannot afford to shoot their M1As so they have been purchasing PSL-54C rifles and shooting those.

    Crooked Dealers

    First of all, I feel that it is rude for someone to butt into someone's negotiations, once the parties cannot get into an agreement and leave, that is when I feel its appropriate. Next, I believe that such revolver is not worth the $1,000 to $1,200 as posted by the original poster, but rather...

    FN- Fal/Value?

    Published gun values have been worthless in the past. Gun values vary due to regional demand. In my area, .308 rifles fly off the shelves.

    FN- Fal/Value?

    Supposedly only 1,848 G Series Fals are exempt from the provisions of the NFA. If the FAL does not have the following serial numbers in the referenced link, then the rifle is not legal. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/usr/wbardwel/public/nfalist/atf_letter82.txt Kenneth Lew

    Why are gun stores/dealers the only business to charge credit card fees

    It is not greed. Try running a business with a significant liability, overhead, cost of good sold, and competition. Then come back and call them greedy. Government agencies around here charge a 3-5% convenience fee for use of a debit card/credit card. Several different retailers (liquor...

    How much does it cost to open an indoor Shooting

    Do realize that you are not only making money on the range fees, but also on ammunition sales, gun sales, target sales (very high margins), concealed handgun classes (very high margins), etc. All of that does add up. Too many variables in prices due to geographical differences in regulations...

    How much does it cost to open an indoor Shooting

    I would stay away from leasing a building with a gun range. Too much capital improvements that stays with the building that can be lost to the leasor.

    Have people seen full-auto usage decline due to ammo shortages/price increases?

    Due to the sheer difficulty in finding ammo and the expense, people with NFA stuff around me have pretty much stopped shooting unless Uncle Bailout is funding them. People aren't as liberal about dumping 300 rds. of 45 acp as of a few years ago.
