The ongoing C&R Vendor Report.

[BigFatGuy]

I sent Brownell's customer service a "how do I set this up" email. Their response (2 days later) was good.


(edited to add, after I emailed the address indicated below, I was set up within an hour.)

---------------------------------
Hello,

Thank you for contacting Brownells. We do accept these documents to ship ammunition to you in California. You can send the copies to ammorestrictions@brownells.com, and please make sure the 03 FFL is signed. If you have an account with us already, please provide the account number if you know it. If you do not have an account, please provide your billing and shipping address, phone number, and email. Once we receive the documents, we can update or set up your account to receive discounted pricing. The discount is not a set percentage, and varies for each item; some items may not offer a further discount. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Southern Ohio Gun went out of business, sadly. Try g to keep everything updated.

Thanks for keeping the thread updated guys! Would any of you happen to know of an FFL that will allow me to ship in C&R without filling out paperwork before hand? I went to a local store (On-Target Shooting Range) and they told me I would have to fill out paperwork before every shipment, seems kind of cumbersome IMO.

I have had several C&R guns sent into California but never had to fill any paperwork before hand.
Although, I do ask prior to having them send their FFL info and I give then a sheet with the seller info, serial number and my contact info but most of the time they say thanks, but don't need it. Just a "we'll call when it gets here" is about the extent of it.

Where are you located?
What kind of paperwork are they asking you to fill out?
I am curious, what did they say was the reason behind why they wanted you do any paperwork prior to receipt.

Sorry for the late response:

They didn't say what they wanted me to fill out or why they wanted me to fill anything out. Fortunately I found another gun shop near me that had no issues accepting shipments and then just having me swoop in and take my items home. Location is South Orange County.

Think you could dm me the name of your LGS? I'm in the area and would love to have a place that'd be that cool about it.

My small contribution to the thread. Since I just recently got my C&R License and COE, i've been doing my best to take advantage even with the massive shortages of everything.

As far as companies that will ship ammo direct to CA customer who hold 03 FFL and COE:

Target Sports USA (I know everyone knows this, but as of 10/20/2020 they are still good to go)

Ventura Munitions (i did not see them previously mentioned in this thread. as of 10/20/2020 they too will ship ammo direct to 03 FFL and COE holder.

I just got an email from LAX ammo and it states they are revamping their verification system so no 03 purchases in CA unless you are at their stores.


Hello,

Hope you are staying safe and healthy, thank you so much for your patience with us during this very busy time.

Unfortunately, we have actually suspended our shipping within the State of California while we redevelop our verification process and system for our qualified CA customers and our Dealers/FFLs.

For the time being, if you wanted to buy our ammo, you would be limited to shopping in store:

[amishfarmer]

Not sure if it is already mentioned but TargetSports USA makes it very simple just sign up. Then under your account settings you can upload your documents and it verifies and exempts you right then. Super easy.

Dealer that sells ammo to C&R holders

I just purchased some ammo from KIR AMMO. They will ship to C&R-COE holders. Their prices are reasonable and didn't charge sales tax. https://kirammo.com/

Thanks for the info MiragePro.....their prices on what they carry seem reasonable on some items in today's ammo prices.
