Any DC residents buy a long gun from BPS? My Lt is a DC resident and found a great deal on a Stoeger. He’s wondering if BPS will deal with him?
Does pop-gunner still frequent here?
That place is a hike. Depending on where he lives in DC, might be easier to have BCG ship to United or NOVA Armory and transfer from there depending on total cost. Remember he will have to go to BCG (or another the transferring FFL) twice. Once to fill out the PD-219, and again to pick up the gun after the registration comes through. Gas may be cheap, but time isn’t.
No employee discount on MPD’s FFL service? Damn. If he is looking at a few more purchases, MPD is charging per transaction, not per firearm, so if you do 3+ guns, coupled with the reduced travel, the $125 fee isn’t bad.
Now that you have to call and make an appointment with them, how far out is the appointment? Few days or few weeks? Lol.Just registered something today. Will update how long the process is.

They treat it like a handgun purchase and will only ship to FFL in DC!!!!
Yeah the BPS thing didn’t go over well. I have A1 looking into it for me.
Is it the M3000 Semi-Auto in Camo you are looking at?
Not me but yes. My Lt saw it for $350 and they give a 5% LEO discount. He spoke with BPS and with this whole Sykes thing they were unsure of how to handle it.
Honestly though a big thanks to a member here for pointing me in the right direction for my boss.

They have one pistol of mine and another should get there Monday.
Haven't had any problems with FFLs shipping to DC.
Some were aware of changes and others just needed a quick explanation.

I got lucky and got an appointment the day after they got my pistol. I had to keep calling around to figure things out because i had no clue the post office doesn't deliver to that building. My first purchase was via ups and sent to Sykes. A guy canceled and they slid me in the next morning. They didn't give me the frame on registration but I'll call them at the 2 week mark since that's how long my first registration took. Shouldn't take any longer than mid June.
Hi there, can you elaborate on the post office not delivering to that building? I recently ordered a handgun and they shipped it USPS there. They apparently tried to deliver Sunday which of course it was closed and while usps’s site says they will try to redeliver on the next business day, nothing has changed since Friday.
Reached out to USPS and couldn’t get a human to speak with. Reached out to the number listed for the MPD/FFL and angrily got told “I don’t deal with shipping”.
Funny enough the FFL I ordered from also tried to see if they could get help from the DC MPD FFL and had a similar experience. The FFL I ordered from is following up with their postmaster general who will call the postmaster general who should have the handgun.
Any advice on how you resolved your issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hey. So apparently, usps doesn't deliver to mpd. They have a designated mail person from mpd who goes to the post office everyday to get their mail. My package last Monday said no one was avaliable to sign and Tuesday magically it said it was delivered and signed for. I would go up to the post office and see whats going on its the post office at 900 Brentwood rd, NE. I went up there and they informed me all this info. So the only thing I can think of is the person who gets the mail isn't working. I've heard previously when she was on vacation no one in the building got their mail for a week. The ffl guy did the same thing to me when I inquired about the shipping but he also didn't know when I went into register that the lady goes to pick it up and usps doesn't actually deliver to the building. All he knows is the lady brings all the packages to him. Her last name is Campbell im not sure of her first name.
