I have talked with several gun sale people including the Corporate office and nobody will commit themselves to sell me an exclusive rifle they have offered, because of conflicting rules, and they just keep passing the buck. They told me to email the fella who deals with FFL's and he never returned my inquiry. It has to do with going through my local FFL and not a store.
If they don't want to do it why not just say so? I am in Illinois so that shouldn't be a problem.
Anyone else have any experience with this? Thanks.

Another reason to shun Cabela's. I won't shop there.

Bought two M70s from a store in Michigan (I'm in Georgia) a few years ago with no issues. I have no idea why they would give you a hard time. Clueless employees?

Sounds like Cabela's neither wants or needs your money.

That has been their policy for as long as I can remember. The best they will do is ship to a store nearest you.

I've bought a pistol from Cabelas and had it shipped to my local FFL.

I bought one a couple of years ago from the Gun Library in Billings and had it delivered to my local dealer (an individual). Maybe they've changed their policy.

Did they transfer it at the store? If so, why do they say it has to be shipped to an ffl? If you own it you can ship it to yourself, a friend, Or they can hold it at the post office. It is $50 to transfer through Cabelas. Some ffls want to get paid just to accept it. One salesman told me he would go through my ffl but when I asked about the online agreement to pick it up at the store he had me contact shipping. She didn't work there anymore. One person in shipping said they don't deal with that and passed the buck. Bunch of nonsense.
A sidenote about shipping your own guns to yourself. 3-4 ffl holders didn't tell me about being able to send them to myself. They either wanted the money or didn't know .

You can not get a firearm from an on-line source and send it to yourself. It must be shipped to an FFL where the NICS will then be done. You can send a firearm you currently own and poses to any address, so long as you are the one accepting it on the other end. You can not ship a firearm you own to a friend and have them legally open the package.

Go to atf.gov and you will say I can ship it to myslf in care of someone else. The post office requires an ffl send it. Cabelas won't complete the transaction until tranfer is done so why send it to another ffl? Of course they could be wrong. As far as those shipping rules quoted it depends on who you talk to.

The rules I posted are correct. Cite a law or regulation to the contrary.

I still don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying Cabela's won't allow you to purchase a gun and have it transferred to you through a local FFL? Are you trying to get them to send it directly to you? You need to buy the gun and do the transfer through a local FFL. I've bought several from Cabela's that way without a single problem.

The problem is his name. Muhammad al Qadamu Sidq raised some flags at Cabelas
I'm here to increase my social credit score and rub elbows with some of the highest rollers on the internet.

If so, why do they say it has to be shipped to an ffl? If you own it you can ship it to yourself... If you buy the gun from Cabela's, and you're not there, in person, to do the transfer...then it must indeed go to your local FFL holder for the transfer. As far as the government is concerned, you do not own the firearm, regardless of monies exchanged, until the 4473 is completed and returned as "proceed."
