        Really sad to read this today. I PM'd a seller about buying his handgun and said "hey, lets me at GFT"....He let me know the news about the store closing. I feel like my girlfriend just broke up with me and is now banging my friend.

        When they were in the old shop and were Wiser Owl, I took a Glock there that I Bubba'd and they worked on that thing for over an hour. Ryan chatted with me and my wife the whole time. No charge! Just really good guys.

        I've known David at AO Sword in El Cajon for a number of years. Great guy.

        Gusslers is good too but I always feel like Spicoli when I go there and he's Mr Hand about to yell at me about something I did wrong on a form. lol

          Lol agreed, or I feel like I'm visiting the Soup Nazi in Seinfeld. Good guy though, just no nonsense and very efficient.

              Fading away? Or busy enough to bring in the money with just gunsmithig, while they possibly relocate to Tennessee?

              Still haven't found a new shop to call home yet. From the looks of it, Gusslers is the only decent choice for ammo transfer at $20, though limited pick up window.
              Well, they're great cerakote'ers and their gunsmith has always done great work for me. I will keep going there for these services as long as I can.

              Bummed he couldn't move his FFL to a new shop.

                    Those asking for a place you can ship ammo to check out firearms unlimited in el cajon. Charging me $1 for paperwork. As a bonus their email is admin@FUcalifornia.com

                      Correction, not doing some work for me right now.

                      Waited a month to find out that the machinist didn't want to do the job.
                      Bummer, if only I had left my contact information. Oh yeah, I did.

                        How is Honey Badger? I know they were in the news for all the wrong reasons when the Sheriff Garmo scandal hit and never really heard good or bad.

                        I need to do a PPT and replace a handguard and re-pin\re-weld the new brake.

                            Yes! I've known David for several years, from before he opened up his shop and did smithing work out of his home. Nice guy.

                              i checked the discount gun mart site and gusslers site...they both have statements that provide for ammunition transfer (there is however a fee)

                                According to folks on Reddit, GFT is opening their retail store back up. A smaller place near the old place. Not sure if they'll have the same policies as before though.
