Thread: Poor going from my local gunshop I thought!

Must be lay buy? Can't see the shop or finance company oking finance to someone without wc licence.

If a finance co is involved, they won't me a rat's posterior whether the guy has the legal right to own a rifle. They will have a signature to enter a legal agreement to pay up.

Could you even sign up to rifle without a FAL? There has to be an ownership issue somewhere doesn't there? It's not like buying a car....I mean there's no age restriction or licence restriction as long as your not driving on a public road, unlike firearms?

Why not, no ownership issue until it is all paid for, thats when he will need to produce FAL

Must be a slow day at work.......................................

He will only need to show his FAL when he takes it away, I put a deposit on a used rifle before I had mine as I didn't want to miss out. Doesn't sound like the shop has done any wrong.

The % extra he will be paying on credit will be huge. The old saying " A fool and his money are soon parted ". I have a feeling these things have a stand down period from the time you sign so you can stop the sale. Another thing. I got a Howa 708 with suppressor bipod and 3 boxes of ammo for $1300. Where is he shopping?

Never ever tick anything up and never pay sticker price.

What about the 'cooling off' period, does that apply to HP, I would also suggest to the younger buy a good second hand lead thrower to start out with....cheers

I paid for my .22 and ammo before I had my FAL. The shop held it until I came in a month later with my license. The only problem I see is if the HP started ticking over immediately....that's a bit rough but I guess if he was willing to do it then it's his own fault.

I have seen forum members do some pretty good deals on here, should have come here first.

This is win-win , shop gets a sale, mate fails to come up with the goods a deflated priced firearm is yours

Have worked in a few shops that offered finance. The two different finance company's both required a FAL to complete the contract.
