One of the doctors I work with has a website for firearms accessories that he's getting out of the biz. Offered me anything he can get (non-FFL) at his cost before he gives it up.

Gonna try to get a speedvault handgun safe, a carrying case suitable for my shotgun/AR15, and maybe a gun safe of some sort capable of storing ~ 6 rifles.

What are your must have accessories and such that I should consider?

Full cleaning supplies, gun socks for storage any mags he has left, ammo cans, pretty much anything you can get your hands on. Flashlights I like flashlights.

Mags holsters laser pointers or maybe whatever has the most mark up (of things you want of course). If you can save a hundred or two on a nice safe opposed to saving 30 bucks on mags jump on the safe.

After a little more thinking, I may just take over the whole darned business. He has the website running and then a start with some manufacturers. I'd expand it to be a full retail store for mags, flashlights, scopes, and hopefully expand to AR parts. Looking for items that would be a high turnover item and leave a small footprint from a space standpoint as I'd be starting out of my garage-albeit it is a 4 car garage at that.

Sounds like an awesome opportunity for you :tu

Nice Bob!

I found out that a kid I went to elementary school with is on one of my fishing boards, long story short he is a sales rep for Eotech, scoring me a new optic for $250, better than the retail of $500 :wo

Thanks guys. It's a CZ Canvasback 20g. Going to be a great little sporting clay gun, with the occasional bird hunt.

I don't know that I want all the extra headache to be honest with you. I can look into the additional requirements I'd need to meet to do it though besides maintaining all the books on file for the ATF or what. I'm thinking any firearms accessories you can imagine to include ammo when it actually becomes available again.

He showed me some really cool stuff that can be done. I've already figured a lot of the things I could do to drive sales. I'd love for nothing more than to transfer the ~50 hours/week at the hospital down to the 24 I'm required each week because I'm building my own business and have something of far greater value down the road.

Trying to figure out what trigger to go with on my AR pistol build. Is a Geissele SSA trigger ($180) worth the extra money over a ALG Combat trigger ($60)?

bonjing 04-29-2013 03:15 PM

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 
Never tried the ALG but I love my SSA's and SSE's.

bonjing 04-29-2013 03:55 PM

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 
Actually, I should explain. The SSA and SSE's are very nice triggers for what they are. If you take your time through the pull it is very light but you can still feel very, very little grit it in. The more I play with it the more it has smoothed out. Would I say it is a completely better than the stock trigger yes. The best trigger out there, I don't know, I haven't tried a lot of them.

Honestly the 2 stage LMT trigger I have is almost as nice. I decided to leave that trigger alone versus swapping it out to an SSA.

I did have a nice RRA NM trigger that I traded out due to reliability reasons, Giessele being more reliable, but the RRA was also a nice 2 stage trigger.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 
Ok, the more I think about my trigger options the more I'm not sure which direction to go. Which one of these options would you go with?


1. ALG Milspec trigger + misc lpk + KNS antiroll pins + JP Springs ($130)
2. Spikes enhanced LPK ($200)
3. Misc lpk + Geissele SSA + KNS antiroll pins ($250)
