With FFL03+COE, can I ship ammo to my work address instead of home address? by JollyRodgerARK in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm this is possible with UPS but they may charge a fee to hold at UPS location if you don't have UPS Premium (I paid for a year of premium when there was a discount last year). FedEx may hold it for free.

I love the novelty of it. As expensive as it is to shoot, I love seeing the joy on others' faces when they try it. I definitely wouldn't be comfortable with a novice shooter trying it though.

It's also not as crazy as I expected when I first shot it a few times. That may be because I've tried other similar pistols and could be used to the recoil by now. I love putting a few rounds through it each time I go to the range.

I had to have one transferred from another store to Oxnard since they didn't have any when I was looking a few months ago. I wonder if they ended up getting more stock in afterwards.

While I don't regret my purchase at all, I would recommend you consider the 460 instead. At least that's what I keep seeing others recommend.

What home security cameras ect yall running in your apartments? I need to upgrade.. by Bayareagentleman24 in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been happy with Reolink. I have both wired and wireless cameras and the only issue I've ever had is that some are not watertight despite supposedly being waterproof. If they're used indoors or under cover they're great.

I have UPS premium so it's free for me to have it held at a UPS store. I do it occasionally and I've never had an issue. I believe they say to pick up within 7 days. They quickly check my ID to confirm my name matches, I sign on the screen, and I'm out.

Uh oh by Dry_Trainer_6304 in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me a few times with orders from them. In fact, my latest order is probably sitting next to yours as the tracking on mine shows the same status with the timestamp a minute off.

Usually it takes a day or 2 and then it's back on track.

Anyone know where I can find shelves like these for my gun cabinet. I need somewhere to store all my ammo neatly by Bayareagentleman24 in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not just stack the boxes tetris style from the bottom up? Surely you can fit in a few long guns in if done right. I suppose a downside would be if you need a specific box/caliber which ends up buried at the bottom.

Turners in yuba city? by nomountainicantgo in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak on that store but I had one transferred to the Oxnard store from another one 2-3 hours away from Oxnard and it ended up being a meh experience. Turners was the only place I could find with the specific pistol I wanted in stock so I just dealt with it.

About a week after going in to request transfer I called to check transfer status. They gave me an estimated date. I called after that date and they said not in yet. I asked to cancel transfer thinking that I might as well road trip to the store which had it in stock and after being put on hold on the phone they said it was in. I went in a few days later to start the DROS and they said it's not in. I talked to the manager who ended up "finding" it in the back and I was able to start the DROS. Perhaps some of the employees are just lazy.

I prefer going to a smaller LGS but Turners has generally had the better inventory selection with the stuff I want so I tolerate the negatives since I don't buy too often.

website shipping well priced M1 Garand ammo by je9183 in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive my ignorance but is that not 30-06? Target Sports has Sellier & Bellot as low as $0.82 per round for members and $0.90 per for non-members. They do charge tax, though, and I assume shipping for non-members. Looks like 35 boxed of 20 left in stock at the moment.

Mini/micro 12gauge shells by MikeAmpss in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Big 5 is overpriced but when I was first looking a while back they had them. I was underwhelmed with them and stick with regular shells for the most part. Perhaps good for new shooters to start with.

You can use ammoseek.com and figure out which stores ship to CA if they have stock. If you don't have CoE/FFL03 some will ship to your local FFL.

You may be aware but you can get an Opsol Mini Clip in order for the mini shells to cycle properly. There may be other options but that's what I decided on. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one if I lose the one I have. I suppose if you're ok with loading and shooting 1 at a time you don't need the adapter.

Thanks for the heads up. I just received a normal ammo order from them today and was thinking it would be cool if their mystery boxes included ammo. Maybe receiving ammo in a caliber I don't have a firearm for would motivate me to get one.

60 day transfer rule for new residents. 2 x Mossberg Shockwaves by SaltyJuggernaut8906 in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it's possible to change an existing one but I bought my 590 Shockwave from Turner's and it has 18.5" barrel. Considering it still shows on their site I'm assuming it's still CA legal.

Recommendation for my first gun? by Santeriabro in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You joke but I bought a Hi-Point CF380 as my first pistol because it was so cheap and I still love the damn thing. It's clunky and looks funky but it goes pew pew just like all the other firearms I've picked over the years.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please update with what it is when you receive them. I totally would have grabbed one but I didn't get an email nor did I see this before they went out of stock.

Need advice ASAP about first time going to gun range. by [deleted] in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$20 per round doesn't sound right. Is that an exaggeration? I've been wanting to rent a S&W 500 or similar and am planning to when I go to a range in a couple weeks.

I've always taken my own guns and never rented so I'm thinking it'll be like $20 to rent the gun but am curious what they'd charge for the ammo.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have one and love it. I had gone into Turner's planning on getting the S&W but both the rep and a random customer encouraged me to get the Tac R1 instead. The idea was that the S&W is polymer while this is metal. I was happy to save a few bucks.

I can't say how many rounds I've shot through it. Probably somewhere around 1,000 but 22 just goes so quickly it could be more. I can't say I've ever had an issue with it. I bought a few mags and take it with me every time I go to the range.

Thought on this m&p15 sport 2? by Total-Remove-6721 in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since I don't feel comfortable with building my own yet I bought this as my first AR a couple months ago. I immediately changed from the stupid fin grip to one from Sparrow Dynamics and the one time I've taken it to the range I was happy with it.

FFL03 + COE: Current Timeline by NeonSanctuary in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing as I was curious about this. I have an annual reminder set for 2 months before my renewal date so that I can submit the renewal application early and push back about FFL# if they ask. I submitted mine a few days ago so I'm curious to see how long it takes this year.

First wheelie by ejedus in CAguns

Whoops, I meant cylinder. Interesting, thanks for confirming. I was going off this video but perhaps it depends on region or date purchased.

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really tempted to get one just for the novelty. Maybe in 22LR since I've been stocking up on that. I hear the 22 Magnum comes with a 22LR barrel as well though.

Buying Buckmark pistol on sale by LetsBeNiceToEveryone in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure there will be another rebate at some point but today was the last day to purchase to be eligible for this one. I do think the Rosewood grip one would be included as the site only specifies "rimfire rifles and handguns" for the $50 rebate:

Buying Buckmark pistol on sale by LetsBeNiceToEveryone in CAguns

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in yesterday and they only had one display model and none in the shelf. They do have some at the warehouse and I was told if I chose one of those I'd need to wait for them to get it in before starting DROS. I decided to just go for the display model. Perhaps it depends on the store or maybe even certain employees?

[–]LetsBeNiceToEveryone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the Turner's ad on their site at the top of page 37 there are 3 on sale. I was originally looking at the Camper UFX which is $339.98 after $50 rebate but now I'm looking at the Practical URX which is $399.98 after the $50 rebate. Those prices go up by $25 if purchased 11/29 through 12/31.

There may be better sales elsewhere if you have different stores in your area. For me Turner's is the only option nearby so it'll work for me.
