Has anyone heard what’s going to happen to orders that had already been shipped there? My lower says it was delivered today and FedEx left it outside their door. Hoping it doesn’t get stolen..

I'm not sure what will happen with something that hasn't begun the 7 day wait... I believe the last day they started transfers was Friday the 30th. They called me on Tuesday (1/3) and told me I could come tonight to pick up my stuff between 4 and 7 today (1/6).

Though I got a warning about the site being unsafe, I went anyway and read the FAQs

Seems everyone will be made whole, and Field Trader's is still a FFL

This sucks. Now I need a new favorite FFL. Those guys were super nice and always made me feel welcome, super helpful, friendly etc. I bought a few lowers, a pistol, a suppressor, and did several transfers there with zero issues and the prices were fair. Hopefully they come back in a new location.

I'm bummed - I liked that shop a lot and I have the listed as my primary FFL on Gun Broker - looks like I need to find another one now.

I can't get the page to load from the link that was posted. Can anyone paraphrase the gist of the whole thing? Is the shop gone for good or is this a temporary thing?

Hope it's okay to post this:

This suuuuucks! I'd stumbled into their shop maybe 6-8 months ago for the first time and liked them so much that I did all of my FFL business through them, and picked up some AR parts from them as well - I felt that their prices were competitive to anything I could get online, (once factoring for shipping charges) and they carried decent stuff.

It is what it is and it can't be helped, but it is a bummer.

They were probably overwhelmed with how gun business friendly the state and county are and felt bad about how low their insurance costs were compared to other area businesses.

Speculation but after the break in did they have a change of heart? Did the break in cause unwarranted attention from the ATF? Did they violate some MD/local code for protecting firearms?

They seemed to be doing really well business wise. When they first opened there may have been one other person there when I was there. The last time I went it was almost too full to move around.

Definitely a damn shame to lose them. My guess is that insurance rates kept rising with each attempted break-in and it just got to the point that it wasn't worth it. Combine with the new year and a new rate, they probably just decided to pull the plug. But that's obviously all speculation.

This sucks. They were the closest shop to me. I got some things on black friday and looking back I remembered someone behind the counter said something like I wish every day was more like this. I wonder if sales had been slowing already. It always felt pretty busy when I was in there.

 

[Longhorse]

Very sad to see them go. They had some interesting stuff over the years.

I know it's been a while, but any info on what actually happened to them? They were my favorite local shop and it would be nice to know
