My dealer just quit so I'm looking for recomendations on a good dealer to do my transfers through. Prefer Eagle River but someone who charges less and is in Anchorage would be just as good.
Thanks,
Josh

You can also do a search through gunbroker.

PM sent also.

I just used Gunrunners in Anchorage. $25 and it went smooth. I like Boondocks in Eagle River but they quoted me $40!

I just got a good deal on an Encore 45-70Katahdin at Boondocks (only good deal I've ever seen there). I've got a couple different recomendations now on dealers that I think should do very well.
Thanks,
Josh

Alaska Custom Firearms on Old Seward was $20....

Chimo's in Wasilla is $150!!

$150 to transfer one gun? I owe somebody some money, or at least booze.

You probably would get a multi-gun discount though...

That makes sense to me. Buy in bulk and save.

Since it's a quantity thing, I'll just substitute quantity for quality. Two gallons of Gordon's Vodka coming up!


(Where have I heard that before?)

Yeah, pretty crazy, ain't it? I almost $hit when he told me that when I wanted to mail a rifle off. I go elsewhere now.

"Two gallons of Gordon's Vodka coming up!"

Double entendre intended?

I'm pretty sure I told you about that time the radio station was having a pun contest. I tried the quantity-over-quality approach (again) by submitting 10 different puns, figuring at least one would win.

Uh... pretty sure he is not looking for a pun dealer... quantity discount be damned!

I just used Price Busters Pawn in Anchorage for $25, itwas painless and he held on to it for a month for free, I live in the bush.

$25 sounds like a pretty fair deal. Especially compared to what Arctic guns in Fairbanks charges. My son was expecting a Win-M71 in 475 Turnbull from Doug Turnbull and phoned to see what they charged. The owner's wife answered and said $40 but when the rifle showed up and my son tried to pick it up the owner claimed he owed $500 !!! as their fee was either $50 or 10% of the value of the gun - whichever was MORE !!! First my son thought it was a joke but since the owner seemed serious he said to return the rifle or take $50 ( which was more than the owner's wife had quoted)
I was in that store last week and heard the owner again tell a client that he was waiving the normal 10% fee and "only" charging him $50 as he was a regular customer.
