The S&W 17-3 I posted pics of in the Handguns forum was purchased from an ex-Special Forces guy who lives in Alpharetta, GA. Really nice guy. He doesn't have any LGS's close that will do outgoing transfers. So, he did an internet search and found that Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, GA would do the transfer to me. Before you ask "Why didn't he just send it as a private person", I offered him that solution right out of the box and he declined.
Seller received my check Certified Mail on Monday, Aug 19. Took the gun to Adventure Outdoors first thing in the morning on Aug 20th and thought it was going out that afternoon, telling me I should receive a tracking number later on that day.
Well, no tracking number that day - Tues, the 20th. No tracking number Wed, the 21st. No tracking number Thurs, the 22nd. And finally, no tracking number this morning, Friday, the 23rd. Mind you, we've been talking all week about it. He's calling them. I'm calling him. When I called him this morning, he was at the counter asking WTF was going on. Also, It's an hour drive from his house. The azzholes had still not shipped it out!!
He held the phone out to them and asked if they wanted to explain to me why they hadn't shipped the gun out yet. Yeah, They declined. Good choice.
I should have had the gun by now and would have with any competent FFL on the other end..
Don't use those idiots for transfers. Just don't..
