contained in a closed and fastened case The problem here is a "zipper" on a case is considered a fastened case. If you want to stay out of trouble transport your firearms with trigger locks. I purchased a package of 10 all keyed the same way. Since I have a SUV and no trunk this is the most secure way to transport firearms without getting into trouble if stopped. And a loaded magazine is perfectly acceptable as long as it is not in the gun. No difference between loaded magazines and a box full of 38 specials on moon clips or a speed loader.

You may want to look at the 226 SS Elite in 40. Easier on the ammo ($) and recoil. I went for a classic 1911 SS Sig for my 45 but shoot 9 and 40 using P226's. The 226 also has 12 round mags from the factory but I purchased 15 round magazines from Mec-Gar. I also had a full trigger job done on my 226 SS Elite in 40 to reduce the SA to 2.4 pounds and the DA to just under 6 pounds. It already has the SRT. Beautiful shooter. My 9 is a 226 X6 Scantic so I didn't have to touch the trigger or anything on the gun at all. 2 pound SA trigger, beautiful gun.

You are required by law to disclose hazardous, explosive or biological materials. When shipping UPS they only ask you if you are shipping any restricted items and they usually tell you what they are. Other than that you are more than welcome to tell them to mind their own business if they ask you what are you shipping.You are under no obligation to tell them what is in the box as long as you respond to their inquiry regarding restricted items. That being said I did have an experience with a UPS store where the store manager asked me about restricted items and I said no, Then he told me he needed to know what I was shipping. I told him that it was none of his business and not a requirement. He responded that since I insured it for a high value they needed to know what it was. Again I told him he had no right to know and he refused to ship it. I filed a written complaint with UPS and did receive a response from them telling me that they addressed the issue with the shipping franchise and that it wouldn't happen again. Of course I never returned to that franchise.

I am not sure what part you are unclear about. If isn't up to the carrier to ask you what you are shipping, your obligated under federal law to tell them you are shipping a firearm. Why should they have to ask you? Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm

I am not aware of UPS stores or other shipping outlets allowing shipments of firearms. As an FFL I always use a hub location and the package is always declared as a firearm. UPS ships a firearm under a different set of rules and standards. First of all the package is never left unattended unless it is locked in a special holding area, cage or shipping container properly sealed. Regarding not declaring the package see requirements below. You probably don't want to ship out of state to anyone other than a federal license holder and don't try to ship it without declaring it's contents. A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm.

Sog226guynj? I am a sig guy all the way. Have two 226's, one a SS Elite 40 Caliber and the holy grail of 226's, the X6 Scantic. Amazing gun. I also have a 239 in 9mm and a Mosquito along side a SS 1911 45. On the not so Sig side a Ruger 22/45 Mark III and a S&W 627 Performance Center. but I love my Sigs and of course my 226's. PM me or we should start a 226 thread. Sorry OP for the hijack. .

I have a XL 650 with all the trimmings. Nothing else you can buy for it, I have it all. I also love it. I highly recommend the low powder sensor, that has paid for itself a few times over. I also have the case feeder and after a few adjustments it's actually quite reliable and works very well. I reload 9, 38, and 40 at the moment. I have set up three full die head's for each load which makes caliber changes quick and easy. One additional feature not sold by Dillon that I highly recommend is a replacement powder adjustment micrometer. Check it out here http://www.uniquetek.com/site/696296/product/T1231 You can order it with the feed bar assembly or just the micrometer. Makes reproducible loading a snap. Without question, buy the spare parts kit. This is a complex machine for somebody that has never owned a Dillon before. There are small parts, springs, plastic pieces, washers, tiny cams, all sorts of things that WILL get away from you the first few times you break down the machine to be cleaned. The bad news is that Dillon now reporting up to 4 months for delivery on some items and potentially even worse for full presses. Just days ago I attempted to purchase a new die set, powder feeder, and caliber change kit for 45 ACP, a new gun I just acquired. The earliest component for delivery is the caliber change kit and that was 4 weeks. I had to go out and buy my dies from another company because they were quoting up to 16 weeks for dies, and the same for the power feeder system. This whole gun control thing has created a real mess. Thankfully I have been reloading for a year now and have all of my equipment and a ton of supplies.

By the way really? posting a copy of your drivers license with the number clearly visible and your DOB? On a public forum with this visibility? You need to think these things out a little better next time.

Well that is the law and that is well documented in Nappens book. Transfer of a firearm from the FFL inventory to their personal inventory does not require a NICS check. That's actually federal and state law.

If there is a way in the future to help each other out we should. Maybe I can get something you need or you can get something I need. Good luck and stay in touch

I'm guessing you wouldn't like to privately share your information with the rest of us that are not able to get inventory. Those must be some personal relationships. Some of the manufacturers that you listed on your post don't sell directly to retailers and require you to purchase through their authorized wholesalers. Others require extensive vetting before you can become an exclusive distributor for a particular area of the country and usually those dealers are pretty large organizations with the capability to purchase significant numbers of firearms. All be it you appear to be a bigger operation than I am, most everyone is, but by your description a small fish by comparison to some of the big players. So I would love to know how it is that you get to play in the big pool with the adults. Just jealous that's all.

If you want to buy from me, or many others like me, I would wait. My advice to my customers is to wait until the firearm is available and ordered so I can get an accurate delivery date. I will hold the gun free for as long as it takes to get your permits. If your going to order from the OP then you might as well get your permits. I don't have any "sources" other than the same ones everyone else is using. I would like to tag along here and wait to see how quickly the OP stocks up. I will just buy my guns from them.

Every pistol I purchased prior to my FFL and after have all been done with Pistol Permits, no NICS when I became an FFL, and always after 30 days. I told the guy I thought he was wrong, he told me I didn't know what I was talking about. Discussion over.

Thought so.

I was told by a principal at RTSP that a FFL can transfer a pistol to his private collection without a pistol permit in New Jersey as long as the FFL is not in the name of a corporation. I cannot find any way to verify his statement. He said get Evan Nappen's book, you will find it in there. Well I did get the book and have read it cover to cover and still cannot get a straight answer to my question. Anyone know if this is true and if so where can I find the references?

You may want to rename your "inventory" to "wish list". I am confused, as of today your inventory is going to look like this Guns 0 Magazines 0 AR Parts and Accessories 0 If you have not received your license yet you probably have not set up any wholesale relationships yet so you may not know this. There literally isn't anything to buy out there. I have 15 guns on back order with three different providers, Lipseys, RSR and Zanders for customers with NO expected delivery date. Eventually I will probably loose these sales when my customers manage to overpay and find their guns on the auction sites. My other two suppliers have nothing either. Some of the guns are on your inventory list. To make matters even worse I enrolled in three "Stocking Dealer Programs". These are programs offered by wholesalers to encourage you to make bulk purchases of guns by offering deeper discounts, free guns and other merchandise. I enrolled in these programs thinking I would get preferred delivery on stocked items. That didn't work either. All three programs are on hold due to back orders and I have committed over $18k of capital I am holding in reserve because I entered into agreements with these suppliers for the programs, and there is no telling when I will need to pay them. Screwed myself and my joint savings account! I only started my business a few months ago and now I sit idle with no business because simply put, there is nothing out there to buy or shall I say nothing worth buying. Good thing I didn't give up my day job. All I have done recently is the occasional transfer for people that have overpaid for guns on the auction sites. Other than that I was able to deliver ONE shot gun in the past two weeks that Lipseys happened to have in stock for some reason. I wish you the best of luck and tell you this. If you can actually stock your wish list I would be willing to pay to find out how you did it and ask if you can be my supplier.

This issue may be a little more complicated than you think. If your primary residence is NJ and your guns are here you may have a problem bringing them into NY legally. The law states that you cannot use a firearm that does not conform to the individual states laws. For example, a person from Colorado cannot take an fully automatic firearm into NJ and use it just because it's legal in Colorado. You can transport guns but those requirements are different. If you were a NY resident you are legally allowed to own and maintain unaltered 10 round magazines after April 15th but you are prohibited from loading more than 7 rounds in that magazine. How that is going to be enforced is way beyond anyone's imagination. The law also allows NY residents to purchase and own 10 round magazines up until April 15th when it will become illegal to purchase a 10 round or more magazine in the state. So probably every NY resident with a gun is buying every 10 round magazine they can find before April 15th. The big "BUT" is you are technically a NJ resident (I assume) and therefore did not purchase the magazine under NY law and are not subject to NY law exemptions. I am no lawyer but you may find that bringing a 10 round magazine into NY from another state is the same as bringing a restricted firearm into another state and therefore considered illegal. IMO

Excellent, didn't think that the blue would work out but I really like it. It's been great lately shooting against snow covered pits with yellow painted steel. Since I am color blind the red is not an option for me.

I can only repeat what I was told. It's not the first time that ATF, NJ or another FFL provided bad information. I believed this to be true not just based on my experience with the ATF but also another FFL in NJ. Before becoming an FFL I too purchased firearms and when I attempted to purchase a pistol that only came with 19 round magazines my "go to" FFL refused to do the transaction because of the magazines. When I told him I wanted him to ship the magazines to another dealer in NJ to be pinned he told me that he wouldn't because that dealer didn't have a manufacturers license. That FFL posts regularly on these forums and I sent him a private Email asking him to step up and post on this topic. Obviously he has not. Not easy for people to admit they are wrong like I was. Yet another instance where FFL's are often wrong. Another NJ gun shop had a pistol, second hand, that I had been wanting for years. I went to see the pistol and he gave me an excellent price so I told him I would pay for it and he could transfer it to my inventory until I could obtain a pistol permit. He told me that I didn't need one if my FFL was in my name. He told me to read the law's which I have and still cannot verify his statement. There are no state statues that I can find exempting FFL's from obtaining a pistol permit for their own firearms if they hold a valid NJ retail license. I transferred the firearm to my inventory and when I got my pistol permit I then transferred it to myself. If I was wrong about that as well I would appreciate it if someone would clarify the law that pertains to this situation for me. Turns out the first gun which was a Sig P226 X6 Scantic also took standard P226 magazines so I had the gun shipped without the magazines and purchased new 10 round magazines, which appear to be on their way out the door now also.

This however you might find interesting. The actual NICS Facsimile Procedure provided to State License Holders states the following (Page 3 Paragraph 4 in capital letters) "A NICS ANALYST WILL RESPOND, VIA TELEPHONE, WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS (EXCLUSIVE OF THE DAY ON WHICH THE QUERY WAS MADE) WITH ONE OF TWO RESPONSES....." So the reality of the situation for you so_dank is you got a response in four business days exclusive of the day on which the query was made. Friday day 1, Monday and Tuesday days 2 and three, then Wednesday Day 4, unless the document was not faxed Thursday but was faxed on Friday. I must admit although it makes no difference, I have not done a single NICS check this year that has not fallen within those three days as the procedure states.

First are you sure it actually went in on Thursday. Many larger retail outlets send bunches in at a time and they may not have sent them out until late in the day or even the next morning. Next, the NICS system starts counting days following the day of submission, so if it really went in on Thursday they didn't start their clock until Friday. Sunday is out as well. But remember there is no limit to the amount of time they can take with their initial evaluation. There is however a three day limit on the amount of time they can issue a final status after they issue a pending status. That is three days. If after three days starting from the day after they issue the pending you have not heard back from them, it is an automatic approval. But most FFL's won't issue based on the three day expiration. I for one just don't trust the system to actually work all the time. And if I turn over the firearm and it is a denial I could be looking at a DOC jumpsuit.

It's worse than that. Their "New Upgrade" is a 20th century upgrade at best. Remember, they will eventually return to verbal approvals but all this effort and there is still no electronic access to the NICS check system, and in this state there probably never will be. It's my understanding that when the phone service is finally implemented you, as an FFL will first have to call in and provide your billing information, again. Then you will be issued a PIN number for future billings.

Sorry for the length of this post but you may find this information will answer some questions for NJ NICS. The Federal NICS system is in fact completely computerized and allows FFL's to run their background checks through a secure web site. Also, for those of us using a standardized FFL software package that has been adopted by ATF, you can perform NICS checks directly through the computer, easy. HOWEVER, The federal government allowed states to decide if they wanted to handle their background checks through the FBI directly or become a Point Of Contact (POC) state. A POC state is one that takes over the NICS program from the FBI and adds their own criteria to the check. According to the FBI, state background checks are more thorough than those performed by the FBI because states can access their independent criminal history databases in addition to databases maintained by NICS, even though states are encouraged to provide their own criminal history databases to NICS. So in NJ we are a POC of course. What does that mean? First it means that we must pay $15 for each NIC check which goes to NJ. Congress already funded NICS with your tax dollars so it's free on the federal level. Not on the state level. It also means that a NIC check in NJ includes not only federal background checks but also state checks as well. That takes a bit of explanation also. The government passed another dumb ass law that "encourages" states to report their criminal docket, convictions etc., to the national system. "Encourages", not requires. So of course like most states NJ said no, we will do it ourselves, be a POC and charge NJ residents for something their tax dollars already funded. There are 13 states including NJ and NY that are POC's, States that conduct NICS checks for all firearms purchases and/or for alternate permits for handguns and long guns There are 8 states that are "partial participants". States that perform checks for handgun permits, while the FBI performs NICS checks for long gun purchases There are 4 states that are also "partial participants" however they are: States that perform NICS checks for handgun purchases, while the FBI performs NICS checks for long gun purchases: Then there are 35 other states where the FBI performs NICS checks on both handguns and long guns for Ok, so what about PA. PA is also a POC but their have their act together better than NJ. First price, in PA I believe the price is $2 for a background check, but don't quote me on that. Also PA has a fully computerized system, hence the speed in which NICS checks are done. Why so slow in NJ? Because NJ is still in the technology stone ages. It took a lot of digging to understand the system, here is what I found out. Over the years since NICS was required NJ charged ($15) for every background check. If you read the laws NJ does NOT permit batch background checks. Why? Because the way that NJ charged in the past for NICS checks was by using the 900 phone line system. That's right along with the horoscopes, porn lines and joke of the day lines. High tech right? They made several attempts and probably paid an unlawful amount of money to consultants to automate the system but still nothing. On December 24th 2012 the very LAST phone carrier, the old MCI now Verizon, officially discontinued billing for 900 numbers. That was not unexpected, 900 customers were notified a long time ago that the service of billing for those numbers would end. The only place that you can get 900 numbers from now is Canada. Was NJ prepared for this, not quite. Their first causality was the phone in background checks. They had no way to charge their customers so they shut down service until the system that was going to be in place for the 24 was actually implemented. It is STILL shut down today. They now publish two numbers both toll free. The first one is for phone in service which should have been operational by December 24th. but from what I hear is still not operational and no telling when it is going to be turned back on. The second was a fax number. They contracted with a company called Champion Communications. They are nice people but you get the feeling they are not Verizon. Perhaps a one or two person small business operation. So as an FFL you must first contact them and establish your account which requires you to have a credit card on file with them. Then you have to list all the fax numbers you will be faxing checks from so they can authorize them with the state NICS. Only then can you fax in requests. If you fax in a request and get disconnected or the fax doesn't go through you have to call them to get the charge removed from your credit card. To make matters worse, those of us who are in the 21 century and use services like myFax.com and others now have to install a dedicated phone line for a fax machine because you must have the caller ID of the fax match the registered phone numbers listed on your authorization. So now most of my record automation goes out the window again. I am not making any of this up. So now for why does it take so long? Because every single individual fax, EVEN if there are three or more faxes for the same individual, is individually hand processed by one of a very small group of state workers, with restricted working hours, which is the reason why you could not purchase a firearm on Sunday when the phone system was working (FBI NICS is 365 days/year until 2 AM), Also, a NICs check is valid for 30 days but there is no system in place to look up a NICS check for someone that just had one done. They also made the NICS check valid for 30 days but you cannot buy another handgun until the 31st day so even if they were capable of looking up an existing check, it still would be invalid. So keep this in mind, if you purchase a handgun today and get a NICS check, then a shot gun next week, you need another NICS check all over again. Couple all of this crap with a historical record breaking number of purchases and you have a broken system that takes days to obtain approval using data that for most of the rest of the United States is instantaneously available. It's an interesting paradox, we pay for the privilege of poor service while others pay nothing for excellent service. Doesn't this work the other way around in the rest of the world? Thanks for putting up with my diatribe.
