New to Prescott, Advice Request

[Robert1234]

New to the Prescott area, looking to purchase a couple of guns (CZ Shadow 2, S&W M&P9 Pro Performance Center 2.0 5" CORE, & AR Lower), can anyone recommend a dealer with reasonable prices for ordering or receiving a gun?

Thanks in advance.

If you can't find gun stores in stock locally, you could try Gunbroker online and have something shipped to your local gun shop where you can fill out a background check to complete the transaction.

I doubt anyone on the forums will sell you anything if that's what you were getting at. You set up an account on the site over a year ago, and you're just now making your first post. Seems kind of sketchy to me. Also, you say you're in the Prescott area, but your location shows as Alameda, so there's that too. Forgive me if I seem overly suspicious.

Shop around for an ffl with reasonable rates for transfer and shop

https://www.gunbroker.com/

You would find a difficult time finding guns in stock period but specific guns on a wishlist probably isn't going to happen without searching nationwide.

Expect to pay 1/4 to 1/2 more than you recall your choices going for. Those are the new "reasonable" prices and won't change soon.

they have been sending me emails with loads of AR lowers. I dont have one and dont know what is still available but its worth a look. First step is to find a receiving FFL

I'd be more worried about the arsenic in the water up there...
hope you have one of the 'good' water suppliers and buy lots of bottled water.

As you are in Prescott....you live next door to one of the major distributors in the country...Davidsons. Check out their web page....you can place orders through Davidson's that are fulfilled through one of their retailers (which are listed on the web page)...quite a few of them in your area. Here is the web page..........https://www.galleryofguns.com/

Yeah, Davidson's seems to have absolutely nothing lately. Sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com is where I ordered the guns, to be sent to Bucky O'Neill Guns. Waiting on delivery now.

Gonna try Tombstone Tactical in Chino Valley for the AR lower, see what they have.

Thanks.

Found both guns I was looking for at Sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com, and ordered them. See how Bucky O'Neill Guns does on the transfer. Progress I guess...

Finding an FFL that provides good service and is pleasant to work with and doesnt cost a fortune is like gold if your a gun guy. I have been using area 15 for the last few years and I think even if they moved further away I would continue to use them.

You moved here from CA?

I did.

What's "sketchy" about asking what most do to buy guns in a town I'm new to? Has anything I've asked been in any way unlawful or deceptive? Have I asked anyone to sell me a gun? And even if I did (I didn't), if the sale was done in compliance with all state, local, and federal laws, what's making you suspicious? I hope Fry's is a bit less suspicious when I go to buy beer...

I started checking out this forum when I was looking for places to retire to. That was about three years ago. I've visited three times since then before retiring and moving here.

I'll update my profile as soon as this post is finished.

If you read my original reply, that's not what I said was sketchy. I thought it was sketchy that you set the account up OVER a year ago and are just now making your first post along with the location discrepancy of your profile.

I have seen posts eerily similar on other forums and social media lately that were asking the same questions and then tilting to who here is going to sell me a gun. Also, we're getting a slew of bot accounts for whatever reason, so there is a heightened sense of alertness to abnormalities right now. Sorry for any offense I caused, and welcome to the group.

No offense taken, I was just wondering what about my post triggered your suspicion. Not my intent to violate any laws, or make anyone uncomfortable. The account was set up, and I've been mostly lurking up until now, no sense wasting member's time with questions I won't be able to act on until I'm actually here.The move was finalized just last month, been kind of busy getting moved into the new house, so getting locations on forums changed wasn't on the radar. The profile location has been updated.
