Blue Fins changing policy

[BBQMAN]

Just called Blue Fins to ask to get my guns waiting transfer, transferred to another dealer doing 8 days, Dave promptly said hold on I think we're changing policy here talk to Jamie. Spoke to Jamie and she said as of today Aug. 1st they were doing 8 days based on 4 criteria: DC letter, previous ND in last 90 days, Military or LEO. Whoo-hoo for DC letter since 2002! They are super nice too!

lol this is great news as long as it doesn't change again. I got all excited and strolled up in there to get shot down like prom all over again!

Edit: Do you have to meet one or all four of the criteria listed?

I would assume (DC and ND in last 90 Days) OR MIL/LEO. I just picked up my ND from Apr 08 for my 2 NFA Lowers yesterday and also picked up my AK which was a surprise due to the new policy. I am not MIL/LEO so you dont need to be all 3/4. I would have been able to pick up my other things as well but I was in a hurry and I did paperwork on 2 spikes lowers which I can pick up in 8 days plus all of my others that our in waiting at bluefins. I told Jamie yesterday she is going to end up costing me more money with this new policy with Ammo/Assessories/Purchases on stuff I wasnt expecting for a few months.

Awesome! Thank you!

That's good news! I have a MATEN receiver set that has been there for 3 months. I will give them a call. Thanks for posting.

Update: I called and spoke to a lady who had no idea what I was talking about. She suggested I call back tomorrow.

 

[Hellrazr78]

I just swung in there and a lady who I personally have never seen behind the counters was there and what RussianNightmare said is accurate. She said Jamie will be back tomorrow so I guess well have to wait and see.

Works for me with several in lock down ......

Update: I stopped by Blue Fins and they are 100% changing their policy. You need one of the following: Copy of DC letter, ND within 90 days, LEO, .mil.

I showed up with my collector letter and was told I can't get my receiver set until Jamie returns on Tuesday, after 1PM. Release will start Tuesday afternoon, and you should call first so they can find your firearm, they couldn't find mine and they said Jamie needed to log it out and do all the paperwork.

That's two dealers that have changed policies since I bought from them. If Continental changes, it will be a trifecta.. (fat chance )

Went in Monday last week to do PW on a Colt 6920 and to resolve a problem with a S&W M&P 15 PC that the arsewipe from Gunbroker sent the wrong rifle. Walked away with the sense that a change was in the works. Will make me real happy if it is true and I can get all of the toys off Jamie's shelf.

Blue fins is indeed changing. An employee asked me earlier today if I had a recent ND, DC letter, or am Mil/LEO. Unfortunately, I don't qualify for any of those conditions I'm happy for those that do!!!

Everyone should have their DC letter. It's FREE!

About the only thing that is free in the "Free State," unless one is on the dole.

I'm kicking myself for not filing one. My copy is getting notarized and sent out Monday.

Free to get but it sure does end up costing you more money.

Thanks for the update OP. They are a small shop but nice to deal with. If my DC letter EVER arrives I'll swing by.

Should come with a mandatory warning statement ~ has a propensity to result in burning holes in pocket and raising CC balances.

I wonder if it's because business is suffering due to patrons giving their new business to dealers doing 8th day releases.
