I told my buddy I would take it and now the guy has cold feet. Oh well. I have purchased guns from Internet sites and have had them shipped to a FFL holder near me. This might be your best approach to find a hard to find gun. You will have to pay a nominal fee to the FFL holder of 20 bucks or so but they do all the paperwork and background check plus provide the business location where the seller can ship the gun. If the gun is brand new in the box you should be good to go.

I am ready to snap. Not a good year and everything seems to go wrong. I drive 1.5 hours to get the gun. Beautiful gun, not a mark on it, only shot a few times. Great, pay the man, now we have to drive 20 minutes to his gun broker buddy to do the background check. We get to the guys shed in his back yard but what ever. He signs the gun into his inventory then we move on to the nics paperwork. He starts by saying I hope your license is ATF approved. I find that statement strange but this is a strange dude so whatever. He takes my license then says nope can’t use it. Surely this is a joke. Why, I ask. He explains that the law changed that he can’t use a license that has a middle initial instead of the name spelled out. Then tells me NY is one of a few states that use the initial and it has been a huge pain in the ass for him. I don’t usually get mad but now I am there. We had to call and set up a time for him to be in his shed, why not say, by the way this is what you need to bring. Now he has the gun and I need to bring back my passport to get it. So another 3 hour round trip. He is also only available a couple times a week so who knows when I can get back.

I haven't seen him since I switched jobs so maybe we can get together for breakfast. The guy agreed to open the shack at 8am tomorrow. Hopefully my daughter will be shooting a deer Saturday night with it.

Not sure I've ever held a Tikka. Post some pics of it once you've got it. I've read great things about them. Lets go Brandon!
