[QUOTE="GnometownHero, post: 3831791, member: 47828"] I had my FFL license from Jan 1987 til Dec 1993 when I lìed in Kansas City. I was buying Ruger Single actions in pawn shops and off individuals and making Bisleys and Birdshead grip conversions out of the parts, and doing some scoped treestand hunting handguns out of Rugers, S&W and TC Contenders. Northern Missouri is a great area to handgun hunt Whitetails. Silhouette matches were good for my biz back then also. My dad and brothers and a few friends were into Garands, so getting parts was easier with an FFL. I was buying Ishapore 308 cal Enfields and making cool scout rifles with them, sòld several. I did transfers or special orders for friends, lodge brothers and a few guys I worked with. I did minor repairs, set up scoped rifles, assembled several ARs and combat shotguns to sell. Helped lots of women who were friends of my wife and daughters get set up with guns for CCW. Dad and I attended lots of auctions and estate sales and having an FFL made that easier. Traded into several nice guns. Got a few supeŕ nice guns, got stuck with some crap too. But then my work got too busy to do gun stuff. I couldnt afford a full on retail store, BATFE was getting tired of home run gun biz, so I decided to quit doing it and closed out my license. Not very profitable, but I did enjoy shooting lots of cool guns. [/QUOTE]
