Brownells Refusing To Ship My Glock Purchase

[crufflers]

I thought the math made sense. Before the purchase, my FFL assured me he would block the mags so I thought no problem.

You would have been ok at a less corporate and maybe smaller shop like Rifle Gear or maybe GrabaGun. Rifle Gear is my favorite this year - those guys have been awesome and fast my last two purchases. Only reason to go through them is if my LGS isn't carrying something and can't find it. Sounds like you have a good FFL if he will block mags and only charges $20 for his time. Any charge to block mags though?

nedro, try a 2L law student specializing in Constitutional and Criminal Law

There is no possible way you are a second year law student "specializing" in anything (which, just so you know, second year law students don't do). A trained seal could have answered the question you asked about contracts law in your initial post. A second year law student never would have asked it.

From my understanding, if a gun is shipped to a CA FFL with any magazines over 10 rounds, the FFL will keep it.

So if your FFL told you he'd block the mags, where'd you get this from? Are you saying you understand the FFL would keep the gun or just keep the mags?

Brownells i awesome. Earlier this year I was traveling from TN to CA then to CO and I had them ship a tool ahead to CO. When I got there for some reason the chamber reamer I had ordered had turned into a Glock front sight tool. Called Brownells, they checked my order and info, apologized for the mistake, and shipped me the correct tool overnight and told me to keep the Glock sight tool. Easy peasy. Never had a single real complaint about them (or Midway for that matter).

Interesting first post and screen name. You want to know if you have an enforceable contract so you can sue over a couple magazines? Cause this is exactly what is wrong with the world. Just have them refund your card, move on, and purchase a sku that has 10 round mags. This is so not worth your time...or ours.

......$20 transfer fee......

Would be nice to know which FFL.

My FFL said he's received orders from customers where his shop received magazines that were over 10 rounds, where he would just keep the magazines if the customers didn't want to pay the extra money to block them.

No possible way I'm a law student specializing in anything because a trained seal could have answered my contracts law question? Interesting logic Mayor. I could make a counterargument to your logic, but I like to think of myself as a civil person. You would just make ad hominem attacks judging by your logic.

So you knowingly purchased a glock sku from their website that contains standard capacity magazines? I would hope the FFL you're transferring it too isn't charging you a transfer fee because most FFL's in CA have glocks for $499 with tax and DROS.

You can buy that gun all day long in CA for $499 .. seems like a TON of hassle to save $50

Why?

The problem is Brownells.. it's California.. and the cost of living here.

The FFL has to have a hi-cap magazine permit to do this..

I guess the issue I am having is if your FFL is that cool why not just buy the Glock from him? Although I think we all smart enough to see the game here, which is to try and get a pair of standard mags instead of actual 10rounders.
If you want standard mags that badly just run over to Cabelas and pick up a few and block them yourself.

You're a smart guy. Lowest he can go is $520.

[dwalker]

So the guy who does $20 transfers charges $21 more than most others for a G19? Seems like the math would work out...

[crufflers]

If you want standard mags that badly just run over to Cabelas and pick up a few and block them yourself.

Just order them for about $2 more than regular $25 ones, pre-blocked and riveted. There's places online that sell those. $27.49 for G19 mags.

I always give my LGS a chance to order for me. He lets me know if something can't be located. He also matches prices if he can. What someone said about a relationship with a good LGS is true too. If you can buy local from local stock, don't stress over $20... but always do the math.

Thanks crufflers, I really appreciate all your help

I'm sure you realize you cannot unblock these legally. In some cases it can be cheaper to buy blocked and riveted. PMAGS for example. Legal G19 PMAGS that are blocked and riveted are only $16.
