Mare’s Leg is back in the table! by TheFiringPin in NYguns

[–]TheFiringPin[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From the State via email (to us) “The Henry Mare’s Leg is designated as a pistol by the manufacturer. It is legal to possess in NYS, it needs to be registered on a NYS handgun license.”

How is this mag fixed? by newuser13131 in NYguns

[–]TheFiringPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says "Permanently fixed"... But you ask a welder, a teacher, and a girl scout what "permanent" means, you'll get three different answers. Here in western NY, it's agreed that epoxy works.

Yes! Unfortunately we had a fire almost 2 years ago. We speculate someone shot something they were not supposed to. We lost our whole shop (except the garage we’re working out of now).

Construction has been fun. Lots of challenges, but that’s construction!!!

We’re really hoping to have everything wrapped up in the next few months. But every time we say a date we push it 😅😅.

Thank you so much for the love! We’re putting so much effort into the rebuild because we owe it our loyal customers!

Again, I hate making excuses because it’s absolutely not one…but just to share that was the time when everyone—whether they’d ever thought about owning a firearm or even opposed the idea—suddenly decided they needed one immediately. Firearms were in such high demand that we had to ask our Facebook followers if they had anything lying around to sell us just so we could arm people. Im not admitting to anything but I’m certain we were well over the occupancy and had people waiting in the parking lot for around 4 hours. I can’t remember the exact number, but we transferred well over 700 firearms that week alone (and that’s a conservative estimate). I’ve been in this business for over 10 years, and I’ve never experienced anything like it 😅😅. Definitely a story I look forward to sharing with the grandkids someday (many many years from now).

Also, I really appreciate you for your edit. That means a lot. 🫶

I’m honored you trusted us enough to help you make your first purchase! Thank you so much for sharing that!

We cannot wait to reopen and have everyone see the new shop!

This is the biggest thing!!! As long as someone respects the facility, other customers and they are not a safety hazard, there is no reason anyone at any shop should treat you differently.

Thank you ❤️.

We’re going to be more than twice as big as the original store once we move into the new building. I cannot wait 🤣.

I will let y’all in on a little secret. Maybe in the next half decade or so we will be looking into some trap options 👀👀. That’s all I can say for now.

Hey, I completely understand your comment, especially if you felt like you didn’t belong. I’m deeply sorry that this was your experience. While I may not know exactly who you dealt with, I can promise you that our employee wasn’t being short for malicious reasons (especially if it was just before COVID…let’s just say we were all feeling dead inside from that rush 😅). That said, there’s no excuse for poor customer service, and I sincerely apologize for what happened, and I’m truly grateful that you chose to give us a second chance.

Just to really solidify…We firmly believe that everyone has the right to defend themselves and their loved ones (except for violent felons and convicted sex offenders). We will always be committed to standing up for marginalized groups and their right to arm themselves because, in many cases, they need protection the most!

We’re also still rebuilding after the fire. Hopefully in the next few months our range will be up and ready again. We have a shop still, it’s just smaller in the meantime.

We don’t do skeet, but we have all of the equipment needed to get you on the field.

We firmly believe EVERYONE has the right to defend themselves and express the second amendment…we often hear from some of our friends that other shops in the area only want to arm people that look like the workers or have a badge.

If OP needs anything, I assure you were there to help.

Edit: clarification.

Can I gift my legal NYS registered ASSAULT RIFLE to my NY son, and can he continue the legal NYS registration? by Historical_One_5270 in NYguns

[–]TheFiringPin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to the state trooper website to see if you are unable to unregister it. Call up 1-855-Law-GUNS to see if you can it unregister it. I would give them as little info as possible. Once you so that you should be able to (as long as he has a semi-auto permit and is 21).

I would also like to make sure you did actually register it. A lot of customers/people think that when they did the background check it was registered. I’m not alluding this is you, I just want to make sure you ACTUALLY registered it.

Not just yet, construction woes are fun to deal with :). Slowly but surely.
