Post by: Dave Ridley on August 23, 2007, 02:27 PM NHFT

I have a question:

I am thinking of buying a couple guns from Stateline Guns Ammo & Archery - Plaistow, NH

anyone know anything about this place, how reliable and honest they are, etc.?

the owner's name is gene but I don't remember his last name.

Hey Dada I found this place to be pretty expensive for what he has. You are better off to find something you want through gunbroker for a better price and have it shipped to a person with an FFL. I have a guy who only charges $10 for transfers when most others charge anywhere from $25 to $50 per transfer. Or better yet find a guy who has a gun shop out of his home which greatly reduces his overhead. He would be more willing to cut you a better deal. He could probably order you a gun directly for a better price. You want some names give send me a message. Or you could just tell me what you are looking for and I'll look around for you. Lots of friends have stuff they are always looking to unload or trade for something else.

   Yes, he has comperable prices to Jr's. These guya are the only 2 people I'd buy from.  Are you looking at the RPK copy for $475.00  Buy it, it is cheap for that gun.  Oh ya, DO NOT BUY THE INDIAN AMMO, it is the "cheap" .308 he has sitting around in plastic bags of 10.  IT IS DANGEROUS!

Whatever you were looking at, you can buy with confidence.

There's a strip club which is just barely outside of Spokane and into Idaho where the strippers can do various things they could never ever do in Washington.

yay for freedom.


I'm guessing this is the same sort of thing but with guns and people from MA and ME?

Amen to the caution on surplus ammo, although I did catch Lex's point.  ;)

A good example is POF .303 British surplus (Pakistani Ordnance Factory, aka "Poor Old Fodder"). It's seriously "click.........bang" stuff, because of poor storage. But if you can buy it cheaply enough to justify breaking it down to bullets and brass, then the powder is a bonus: like most nitrates, it makes great fertilizer for your garden.  8)

BTW, Stateline had a gun stolen right off the table at the show yesterday. 
That sucks.

I spent a few minutes talking to them on Sat.

Gun shows don't tag their guns with anti-theft devices like the shops do? :o

I had to remind the guy I bought from Saturday that had yet to pay him!
I guess thats why he had them tied to the table.

Now if they'd let people carry in there, this wouldn't be a problem.

I don't see how that would prevent a slick thief from doing his dirty work.

He could have easily slipped a small pistol into a deep pocket.

It wouldn't prevent it, per se, but it would make it a lot more risky for such a potential thief, acting as a very strong deterrent.

What NH shops have them?

Riley's has some sort of plastic discs chained to each gun. I assumed those were anti-theft devices, no?

well the sks he sold me is apparently in better shape than he was claiming so that is a good sign; it was also a decent price at 175....not really worth such a long trip ideally but ya i think they are good to go.  also they stayed open late so they could handle the sale.

Did you stop by the NH Firearms Coalition table? 
They were handing out fact sheets about how anti-gun both Guiliani and Romney are.
Why yes I did.  I also grabbed some flyers.  I was with my Bro in law and I think he is a Romney fan so that was a good read for him.. Of course when he saw the 2 4x8 Ron Paul signs in my yard I think he knows where I am headed.

Speaking of 4x8 Ron Paul signs heres a good story. Was reading in bed last night and heard a car stop about 50 feet down from my driveway. I live on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere so sound travels very well. Heard two guys talking and heard something being ripped down then they sped off. Ran out to my car praying I could catch the men who stole my sign off of the tree when I saw a truck attempting to navigate a trail we go mudding on. They apparently couldn't get over the boulder that starts the trail. Being that I have a Jeep it wasn't an issue for me. Saw my sign sticking out their bed of the truck. Yelled at the kids in the truck. There were four of them in there. The driver got out and I asked him to give me back my sign that they stole(there were a bunch of words I used that I cant write on here). Long story short they got out told me how embarrassed they were followed me back down my road and nailed the sign back where they took it from. Ended up talking about what Dr Paul is all about for a half hour. Think they are all converted and they said they would never do that again. My 45 on my hip probably made them approach me a bit cautiously but all in all it worked out great. I ended up giving them a couple yard signs(smaller versions) that they said they would put up. The message of freedom is addictive. Being that they were all in their early twenties and what they envisioned for them down the road probably helped a great deal.

Karma to you.

Excellent approach to take (I don't think many of us would have tried to convert some houligans).  Houligans for Ron Paul!

   Not for nothing, but,...   I bet the pistol was stolen by a cop or a fed trying to be smart, to see how easy it would be to do such a thing.  Don't forget, these assboules want to shut down gun shows and small gun shops for "violations".  I wouldn't put it past them to do just this kind of thing to put pressure on these events to get more restrictions and to help put in real ID and other things such as smart gun technology and rfid stuff.
   Now I'll have to go buy a gun from them to help em out.  Any ideas? :)

Yes more of those rifles you have in your picture. You can never have enough "assault" rifles. Or more commonly referred to as homeland defense weapons.
