Anyone know a Class III dealer in the area that is friendly?
You could try Stockman Sporting Goods. I've seen
them at the last few Fredericksburg gun shows and has had several class III weapons on display for sale. I almost bought my AR/M4gery from him but I didn't have proof of citizenship with me.

When people ask about purchasing such a weapon, he gives a good explaination on the process and costs. He seems like a decent guy while chatting with him. This is a side business for him but said he will do FFL transfers.

Thanks... I will need to have it transferred since it is out of state.

I have always wanted an MP5. I fell in love with it when I fired it at the range last year.
Doug is a good guy to deal with. I recommend him too. If you frequent gun shows around here you've probably met him already. He's friends with Steve the Fort Knox safe dealer, and they often hang out together to chat when the show isn't too busy. LEO 229, you mentioned at one point having a huge safe to keep your firearms in, so I imagine that you already know Steve too, since he's the only Fort Knox dealer in the area. (Assuming that your safe is a Fort Knox.)

Wow they are paying officers well here in VA. An MP5 isnt cheap. Either that or your wife really ROCKS! I would have to buy a new bed for the other room if i came home after spending something like 5 grand on a new toy. I agree tho that the MP is much better than the M4. What cal. are you looking at ?

5 grand? If you know where I can get one for 5 grand PLEASE let me know!!! I'll have cash in hand within a day!

These things are more like 20K for the "real deal" pre-86 select fire models.

LEO is prolly looking at a clone.

I am looking spending at least $22,000..... They were cheaper a few years ago.:cuss:

I do not have any bills so I have cash to spend. Getting lots of money back this year from the IRS and state.

I spoke to Steve when I was ready to buy. He blew me off BIG TIME!! Guess he did not take me serious. I ended up buying from out of state for way less than his offer and the inside delivery charge was actually cheaper than curbside delivery. They could not figure that out.

Took 3 guys 2.5 hours to bring it into the house.. first floor. It is 1,800 pounds too. I have the Titan Model.

Finally got the photo up here. Picked it up about 2 weeks ago. RRA Tactical CAR 4. Only added the Tasco ProPoint Red-Dot last week. I'm looking forward to finally shoot it next week.

For this, I'll likely go to Blue Ridge, out in Chantilly. I'd like to try the NRA range, not just for this but in general. I normally shoot at Gilberts. I like the range and the guys that work there. Oh yeah, can't shoot this at Gilberts, unless you get a 22lr converter.

I'm envious of the tac handles on the RRA's. Looked at the website, they run $175. Waaay too much in my opinion.

I'm a Gilbert's annual member, if you wanna shoot sometime lemme know.

Yeah, I wish it was more than just a pistol range. I'm thinking about not renewing and joining NRA range for that reason.

Anyone for an OCDO AR-15 meet up at NRA range next Saturday?

I will be working... :( So I cannot attend.

Ihave never been to the NRA range. I did visit the museum, fun!! What is the cost to shoot? I know you have to take some kind of safety test first.

The safety test takes about 15-20 minutes if you have average reading skills and intelligence. I suggest putting your name on the waiting list for a lane while working on the test.

Rates are hourly if you're not a range member
15/hr (non NRA)
12/hr (NRA)

Very nice, clean, and well lit. Sets the standard for what an indoor range should look like.

OK... So it looks like I need to go ahead of time and get the test knocked out so I am not delayed in shooting during a group outing.

Do they have any yearly or family memberships?
