    Hey guys,

    Just curious where you guys look online to purchase/trade/swap guns?

    I have recently started to follow two active facebook groups that deals with trading guns. If nothing else I like to keep up on what's out there and how much stuff is going for.

    I am kinda surprised that there isn't a thread like this on here (maybe there is and I just don't know about it)

    As for purchasing etc, I look at a lot of different site/stores. Buds Guns has very competitive pricing as well as Midwestern Shooters Supply!

    Bowhuntingfool do you have a local FFL buddy that you have stuff shipped to then? What is his fee for transfering a gun to you?

    I use gunbroker.com and armslist.com

    Not sure how busy your state is on Armslist, but Ohio is cracking.

    Anyone know where I can get any "untraceable" guns? You know, guns with the serial #s "worn" off. I just don't believe in paper trails. :)

    Either Chicago or New York is your best bet. No need to wear them off anywhere else............ yet.

    thefiringline.com similar set up to this site just not quite as much traffic.

    impactguns and cheaperthandirt can be great places to purchase if you got an FFL to handle transfer.
