But we dont use the NICS system, we have our own state run background system, useually called the DROS, which stand for Dealers Record of Sale. This is sumbitted by...

    J lock

    I sell a ton of Remingtons, ive never noticed anything that was reallt difficult to get off the weapon. Just use some Hoppe's #9 and wipe it down. If you want something thats a pain in the ass to take off, try a factory shipped Beretta.

    Does Beretta still make the AL390?

    ArmedBear is 100% correct. I talked to the guys at the Beretta booth at the SHOT show and this is exactelly what they told me. The guy then took both the 390 and the 391 apart and explanined all the differences. I was pretty impressed.

    Leitz Binoculars??

    Anyone have any information on Leitz binoculars? Are they part of Leica? I have come across a pair of Leitz Trinovids 10x40 and I am at a loss as to what they are. They quality doesnt seem all that spectacular, but then again I dont have anything really great to hold them up to. Any ideas?

    Sports Authority stopped selling hunting gear and firearms.

    The removal of the hunting category from certain stores has nothing to do with the company getting out of the hunting/firearms business. Its all about making money. They removed firearms from certain stores because the amoutn of inventory and space it took up did not make as much money as it...

    I wish Kel-Tec had better competition in Cali...

    none, we tend to sell more of the "traditional" hunting firearms. Plus the fact that the detachable AR15 is not allowed to be sold here in CA anyways. there are more to firearms than the AR15. As hard is it is to believe. I'm damn glad I got mine before the ban went into effect

    I wish Kel-Tec had better competition in Cali...

    Im gonna have to disagree with you on that one. California is probabaly the largest firearm market in the states. Just because you hear of Fienstein making here speaches doesn't mean we are all like that. I sell more firearms in my store than anyone else in our company. And we have 400 stores...
