CGVETERAN 10 Posted September 29, 2020 I was in Dicks Sporting Goods in Moorestown last week and they completely stopped selling firearms and ammo. Didn’t even see any hunting gear or targets etc. they said they stopped in January. So you won’t be able to buy a shotgun there anymore. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it is not worth it for me to go there. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeepGunner 109 Posted September 29, 2020 The Mossberg Maverick 88 is highly recommended for first time shotgun owners. However, like most HD shotguns these days, they are impossible to find in 18.5" size, and when you do find one they are $600 or 3x the normal price. (see gunbroker pricing - it's insane) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it's crazy. I really think it's the 18.5 barrel that first time owners are looking for rather than any specific brand/model. If it's USA made, it's sells at a big premium. The Turks and the dealers have been able to capitalize on this by flooding the market with Turkish shotguns for home defense around the $300 level. Not a bad deal if you got to have one in today's environment. If it saves your bacon, it's really priceless. Here's another recent Mav 88 auction: $565 + shipping + FFL transfer fee (well over $600 net) https://www.gunbroker.com/item/879709407 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm still jealous that you scored that Sig and 223 ammo. Did you pick it up yet or still waiting on NJ Nics? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you pick it up yet or still waiting on NJ Nics? Unbelievably yes. Nics only took 2 days...Wow! Picked up the Sig Tac and a Ruger 9mm compact yesterday. I can't believe I'm still waiting for PA nics on the shotgun. It's been 10 day now. I think PA puts NJ buyers at bottom of pile...lol 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yes the gun business is so good that PA doesn't want our money. I went to the Poconos gun show on Sat and Tall Timber turned away $ 2k + in business from me, because they didn't want to do any NJ transfers (on compliant models, one AR and a 9mm PCC). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
