Are you going to have reloading supplies there too? Few gun shops have reloading goodies. It's a low profit item but brings customers in. All about the cash flow.

Well Tubby,
I will be selling about 5,000-10,000 items to start with.
As with any business one must find what sells and what does not . What dos not sell, we take off the menu. I have 8 distributors that I have agreements with and am looking for a coupe other smaller sources. I will not be doing business with Sport South or Acusport.
I will sell reloading equipment and some hunting supply's.
I will be selling hard to find ammunition, especially .380 and lately
9mm. We will also offer several brands of ammunition. Winchester will be selling direct to me.
I just had a conversation with my local ATF agent today.
On ATF form 7 (5310.12) it clearly states on the application item # 9,
"Describe Specific Activity Applicant is engaged in, or intends to Engage in, which requires a Federal firearms License. ( Sale of ammunition alone does not require a license)."
These are not my words they are printed on the application form.
I spoke to my local ATF agent today about gun smithing and he confirmed that I could do some smithing, trigger jobs, deburring occasionally without an FFL but said that I was doing thing right by obtaining my FFL. I have my final interview with him very soon.
My background checks and work with the government over the past severl years have been many. Where the FFL process usually takes up to 90 days. I expect my license mine will get done as soon as ATF in west Virginia clears my check. The processing center was in Atlanta so during their transition there is some delay.
I can't say enough about how cooperative ATF has been.
Look for my new store soon. gunsandsupply.com
regards,
Jim
