Western MA gunshop for a transfer

[smitty]

I'm looking for a gunshop in western MA (Westfield area) to do a transfer on a S&W revolver. I'd like to do this on a fair flat rate, not they get a % of the sale price. I've never done a transfer into this state.
thanks

Try AAA guns in West Springfield. They will do it for a flat rate (I think $25). I don't think you'll find too many reputable dealers around here that will want a percentage of the sale price for a simple transfer. If you do, just go somewhere else with a quickness.

Personal Defense Specialist in South Hadley will do it for $25. Of course you have to find out when the son will open up next.

Yup. That's where I would have sent him but I wasn't sure how Joe was doing these days and I know his Son's been sort of hit or miss with when the shop's open. For the record, I agree with FPrice that PDS, in Hadley, is a fabulous place when open.

I would have went to DPS in South Hadley, but I'm having a real hard time reaching them (his son) since Joe became ill.

If you don't mind me asking, does it have to be an FFL transfer? You can do a FTF transfer between two MA licensed individuals if the seller has not done four FTF transfers this calendar year.

It looks like he is doing a transfer from another state to mass. He needs a FFL.

The Shop across the street from the Goal Headquarters - Tite Group. See:

Knob Creek and I took a walk over after the yard sale last Saturday. Gent running the place seemed like a good guy. You might try him.

Hope that helps,

Looking at doing a transfer from Riverview guns in CT to here in MA.

 

[Raoul Duke]

AAA and Guns and Gun parts are the two closest in MA to Riverview.

On re-reading his post I think you are correct.

Thanks guys,

I'm still on the fence over the purchase. I'll make up my mind in a day or so. It's just that $300 to upgrade my carry peice is a serious bit of change, it is however to me the perfect carry weapon.

Out of curiousity can you tell us what it is?

Any idea how much Tim charges for a transfer?

I don't know, but Glenn might. I wouldn't think he'd be any more than the other places though.

 

[smitty]

I did it. The dealer wanted too much for me to make the trade. So I just bought it outright and did the transfer to Gun & Gun Parts in West Springfield (I live in Westfield). My new carry pistol is a "prelock" S & W model 342 (11oz hammerless J-fame). Thanks to you all.

You're welcome. I'm glad it worked out for you.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

Congrats.

i know the OP has already found a solution, but for the record, the last transfer i did with Tim was 20$ for a rifle. Micheal over at Guns & Gun Parts is a good guy as well. as are Walt and Ronnie at Agawam Auto/Taugwank Spur Corp.
