Another fine day at Irvington Arms
Had another fine experience today at Irvington Arms...
This is the shop to go to if you want to deal with friendly, knowledgeable people who are OLL friendly. I have had a great time every time I've been there...and in California how many gun stores can you say that about? Not many. Here is a photo of today's haul... U15 Stock and Rock River 2 stage (I supplied the Mega Gator lower from my stash). My first U15 and I am impressed and pleased. A special thanks to Rich for assembly. He offers classes on building AR-15s...you guys should avail yourselves of them. M44 off Irvington's shelf...attractive, blondish stock...stamp matching...nice tight muzzlr. Older Marlin/Glenfield Model 60 off Irvington's shelf, used but unfired, with original scope and manuals. Happy to pay $150. My first Model 60 and excited to have it. Ruger 10/22 (my 3rd). Bought for $160 from our CalGuns classifieds. Came with a Barska scope, 2 mags, and almost 500 rounds of ammo. All Stag rifle...bought through our classifieds...mag pinned and limited to 10 rounds (relax ladies). Looks to be a fine little carbine. Came with a Monster Man grip, and millet red dot. Vector Arms AK classic...fit and finish look good. Wood looks good. Seems it was worth paying a bit more for it.

Great pickup! How many Vectors do they have in stock? I seem to have missed it last time.
Also, when did you purchase that Stag? It appears that I have missed it too...

Thanks! I ordered the Vector from Atlantic...by way of LanWorld (Chris) to make it CA-legal (since Atlantic wouldn't do it). The Stag was down in the sale section a while back.

And, as said above, it's worth it... 1.) Everyone behind the counter at Irvington has a good attitude and knows gun law. How many shops can you say that about? How many gun stores give you no BS about OLLs and no attitude? Not many. How many times do you walk into a gun store anticipating a hassle or having to suffer through some nonsense or be treated poorly by a bad employee? Well, that doesn't happen at Irvington. 2.) There are OLL friendly...ARs, AKs, Saigas, FALs, and other off-list goodness...how many FFLs in Ca do them all? Not many. 3.) They are an actual brick and mortar store. Some FFLs work from home and that's great...no fault there. Those guys will obviously have less overhead. But it sure is nice to have an actual gun store that is friendly to OLLs and lacks the BS and bad attitude so prevalent in many stores. So for that reason it's also worth going....

 Plus 1 for the store though, a buddy of mine down in gunban town (SF) took me there to do some afternoon boomsticking shopping one day while I was visiting him. Great place, nice people, just a bit too far for me to go to do my normal shopping.

Just a question about this place ? Not trolling just looking for the reason why ? dont get me wrong its great that your happy with your experience but you would have saved 45.00 per additional long gun and 50.00 off the first using my FFL.
Are transfer dealers so rare that someone would pay 100 for the first and 65 for each additional long gun transfer ? My FFL charges 25 for the first and 20 for each additional long gun and the DROS is the standard rate no matter how many long guns are on it. Last edited by SemiAutoSam; 07-28-2007 at 10:11 PM.

Some of the dealers here charges $50 per gun and then, they will pull the sales tax crap. For IA, the $100 is all inclusive...

OK thats cool Mine where also out of state transfers. Remember those 30 AR lowers I bought 4-6 months ago.
20.00 each X29 and no sales tax as I didnt purchase the receivers from my FFL. He understands normal thinking. Quote:

This is the price we all have to pay for the complacence of California gun shops (FFL holders) in general. $100 just to get the paper work right and stay in business. This is truly sad!

Both. When Saigas come in, they are gone pretty quick..I missed a few shipments of Saiga 308's by a few hours before I finally got one..Pick up this Tues! Give them a call and they will let you know what is in stock and what is in the pipe..

Went to Irvington Arms yesterday and bought a new Kimber. Dam those guys are quick! I brought my son with me thinking it was going to be tough keeping him occupied. He didn't even get comfortable in the chair and paperworks were done! Thanks!

Does IA have .223 ammo? As far as I could see yesterday there's nothing but crap at the Gun Exchange, Reed's, and Imbert's is out too - who knows what's going on at Kerley's anymore. Might as well shop for ammo at Big-5 - or maybe I'm just an idiork...

"Does IA have .223 ammo? "
They had PMC Bronze .223 in stock last week. Don't recall the price.

Thank-you! :-) I'm awaiting dies, brass, and Sierras from Midway - but there's Practice on Saturday and all I have is a 50-box of Black Hills I got before Imbert's ran dry. Got to test the new White Oak upper...

Ok PMC Bronze is $8/20 - I got three boxes, I was feeling frustrated about the ammo-situation.
They are nice guys, had a nice chat with Rich. Haven't been across the Bay much since I stopped working in Fremont.
