    Need to do a PPT in the East Bay... suggestions?

    Hey calguns, I'm going to be doing a PPT later this week and since I've only been living in lovely West Oakland since the new year, I'm not familiar with the gunstores in the area. Any suggestions?

    Did we used to have a list of FFLs in the Bay Area?

    Bullseye in Castro Valley. Otherwise, farther down 880 is Irvington Arms in Fremont.

        Old West is off 80 in El Cerrito. More options south and east.

          Is that the Old West Gun Room?

            Skip Bullseye in Castro Valley!

            Go to Irvington Arms. There is also UGI Imports in Fremont too. I believe one of the instructors at the Davis range does transfers too.

              Yes. He's open Tue-Sat, 10-6 I believe. He can be a bit cranky about PPT but he does them fast and for the correct price.

                  Depends on what your are PPT-ing, especially if it's black rifle-related. For example, don't take your Saiga-12 to Irvington Arms. They won't PPT it.
                  I hate people that are full of hate.

                  It's not illegal to tip for PPT!

                      Irvington Arms always seemed to me to be pretty EBR-competent.

                          That's now Bullseye Castro Valley. There is also Andreotti's in Castro Valley, but you have to manage not to choke to death on the cigarette stench when you walk in.

                              Bob at the Old West Gun Room may grumble but he will do the PPT quickly and for the correct price. I made one purchase from Androtti's not a PPT but it took FOREVER and I would not repeat that experience.
