Thanks. I used the one on Gun Broker. Just wondering if anyone had any experience either good or bad.

I've never used them but Lanigan Associates in Shrewsbury NJ. A friend used them a couple of times.

Navesink Guns is closest to me but I don't know of anyone who used them. Lanigan's rates are high compared to others.

Crooks.  If you are not LE, they will charge $95 FFL fee.  They don't want anything to do with plebes.

Good to know. I have had great success with Legend Firearms. I'm a member at Union Hill so it's convenient.

Nothing is convenient to me. I feel like I'm at the end of the universe out here by Sandy Hook.

I'm in Middletown so I am not that far from you.

[FDHog 613]

Yeah, one of my daughters is in Middletown. Seems like everything is a hike.

My range is 50 min away.

Modern Materiel used to do transfers, but not sure if they still do. Maybe give them a call.

There used to be a gun shop right in Highlands, Ray's maybe, I forget it's been so long.  They closed about 15 years ago.  Sad. 

It's not much closer than HGW but give Solomon's in Farmingdale a try.  Gene has weird hours but he's a good guy.  Last time I used him FFL fee was $25.

MM is about same distance as Monmouth Arms. I like Steve, but looking for something closer. Bought one of MM's 5.56 NFA rifles. Really nice piece.

Arjay Sportsman Shop. It was on First Ave in Atlantic Highlands. I used ride my bike to buy archery stuff there when I was in grammar school. Bought my second car  - 1976 super beetle - from the owner when I was 18. Good people. I was bummed when they closed up shop.

It’s a Hippy Art Gallery now.

I’m pretty sure they are not doing the FFL thing anymore for the public. they are concentrating on keeping up with the demand for tier carbines and SBFs.

I’m right there with ya bud - grew up in Atlantic and now I’m in the Hillside section of Navesink. There’s nothing close. If I needed something today, I’d go see Steve at Monmouth Arms. Sent other locals there and all had good results.

Used Steve for my last lower. Great guy, just weird hours. Will probably end up using him again. Just sucks having to drive 40 min. But at least it's a 2'fer. One of my daughters lives right across the road.

That's the place.   I used to go there often when I was into duck hunting.  I remember they had great prices on Carhartt too.  The waning interest  in duck hunting killed that place. I confused it  with Ray's further north.  They are closed too. : (

I believe the building that Arjay was in burned down like 10 years ago. It was the main drag through the center of town.

Nope. Building still stands. It’s an art gallery.
