Email gun shop 1 on a thursday about having a mass compliant rifle transferred via FFL. Response on Monday "Sorry, that gun is not Mass compliant" (even though it is)
My response: "well, there are several shops that sell them in Massachusetts but are currently out!"
Their response: "well, we can check with the manufacturer!" ya you do that!!!!
Call shop 2 and they say email us about it and whoever handles that will respond to your email. Email that person: "Sorry, that gun is not mass compliant" (even though it is) and an employee of shop 2 was the one who suggested we buy it!
Shop 3: "No problem, I will send the seller our FFL info and he can ship the gun here!"
Find out today, shop 3 has a PO Box for their FFL address registered to a name that isn't their gun shop name that the seller received on the FFL certificate but somehow the seller was supposed to ship the gun to the gun shop address which was never discussed in the email between the gun shop and the seller. Why would you ship a gun to an address not associated with an FFL certificate would be my question as well???
Call shop 3 again. "Ya, you are going to have to call the seller to re-ship (from Iowa mind you) the gun to our store address!
Call the seller: Ya, the ATF won't allow me to ship it to any place other than the address on the FFL certificate.
I'll let you know how the rest plays out while I search for a new gun shop to give my money to!
