Bought one from PSA with Christmas money last week during their sale....got an email late last week saying their POLICY is not to sell these to MD residents, LE or FFL only. Great..... so now am going through my FFL to have them order it for me. Its gonna cost me a few bucks more, but should have in the next week or so.
Waffled between this and a Saiga pattern AK shotgun. Magazine change without having to rock into place cemented getting this one for me. Overall reviews on them look good. Looking forward to having this to play with soon.
Plan is to use in 3-Gun... I know it bumps me to Open class, but don't care, I'm not gonna win anyway, just wanna have fun...will probably put a red dot of some kind on it at some point.
Palmetto is a joke. I ordered 2 Ruger 10/22 compact rifles from them a few years ago. The FFL I picked (from their FFL list) is in WV and happens to be a veteran friend and a co-worker of mine. Palmetto called me and asked me to send a copy of my driver’s license to them. I sent it and they informed me that they couldn’t sell me the rifles because the FFL was in WV and I was a MD resident. I told them that was absurd because people can buy rifles from FFLs in other states as long as the rifles were legal to buy and own in the buyer’s home state. I told them that I’ve bought rifles and shotguns from gun shops in WV and PA and it was never an issue. I can see WV from my front yard and the PA line is 10 minutes away. Then they came back with the excuse that the rifles were banned in MD. I attempted to correct them on that and even emailed them the link to the Maryland gun licensing division to see for themselves. They still refused. At that point I requested an immediate refund since they immediately took the funds out of my account as soon as I placed the order. Of course that didn’t happen either…it took several days for the refund. I added them to the do not buy from category where Cheaper than Dirt and Grice gun shop among others are filed. I have passed up many decent deals from them on things due to their ignorance.
