I reckon I purchase firearms in waves.

[Bypass]

I go for a while without buying anything and here I am buying 3 firearms in a weeks time. Anyone else have this issue?

Just got that PPK now I ordered two of these.

Twinsys.

 

[Drcrimson]

Yeah I know how you feel. I bought multiple firearms in the same day and then nothing for months. I guess the stars just have to align.

It's either that itch or money burning a hole in my pocket. But the great thing about firearms is they hold their value. Some folks buy gold and silver and I buy steel and lead.

Allow me to introduce the twins. Consecutive serial numbered Mil Spec 1911s. by Springfield.

I also found out today that the FFL has to send your information to the BATFE and the local sheriffs department if you buy more than one handgun in a day. Not cool.

 

[Drcrimson]

I have been told that as well. I rarely buy from FFLs these days.

I do the same. I went a year without buying anything then bought 2 in a week.

I traded those two 1911s For a really nice match 22lr LOL. I totaled up the parts and accessories on the 22 and those alone are worth 2 grand. I got a smoking deal on this one.

I picked up a sweet 1917 Colt 1911 US Property and had a custom made case made...I used Japanese cedar, lined with Crushed blue Velvet..I had it made with a CNC machine including an original box of 45 period correct..I wanted my son to have something special when I'm gone..

That's beautiful Sir!!! And a hell of a gift for your Son. But I prefer and I'm sure he prefers to have you around for a long time instead.

GOD bless and watch over you my friend.

 

[Drcrimson]

That’s incredible!

Actually, it applies to two or more handguns within five consecutive business days....

Reporting Multiple Firearms Sales | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

The Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968 requires federal firearms licensees (FFLs) to send a report to ATF when there is a sale of multiple firearms to the same purchaser within a certain time period. ATF uses the information gathered from multiple sales transactions to investigate possible firearms...

Sales of Handguns​

Licensees must report the sale of two or more handguns if they occur at the same time or within five consecutive business days of each other.

Good information and good to know.

Good information and good to know.

Yes, as well as the new "delay/deny" notification. If you are now "delayed", as all of my NICS checks have been lately, the FFL must provide your home address to the FBI to complete the 4473 transfer, even if you are then given the go-ahead after the initial delay.

If you are "denied", written notification is required within 24 hours.

The NICS Denial Notification Act of 2022 requires the FBI’s NICS Section to notify state, local, or tribal law enforcement of all FBI NICS denied transactions within 24 hours. The FBI must provide notification to law enforcement based upon the location of the FFL and if different, the purchaser’s address. To support the determination of what local agency should receive the notification, FFLs will be required to provide the buyer’s complete address to NICS as recorded on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Form 4473 when the transactions are DENIED or DELAYED. The address information will be required before the status can be provided or retrieved either by the NICS corrected call center or via the NICS E-check.

 

[PDren000]

I get guns pretty much exclusively by trading. Partly because of those goofy new laws about NICS delays and partly because I'm on a budget and trading means less cash leaving my wallet. I try to classify my stuff as "practical," "sentimental," or "fun." "Practical" is home defense, CCW, or hunting stuff and I won't trade that unless it's for something that fills a similar role. I don't trade the sentimental. I'll trade the fun guns at the drop of a hat if something else comes along that looks more fun.

Same here. I’ll go forever and get the itch and start buying again. I actually just got the itch this week and bought a Taurus tracker 17 hmr on a whim and catch myself just browsing.
