Hey y'all - wondering if anyone has any reviews to share on using Sportman's Warehouse as an FFL?

It's the closest one to my place of work

The BATF website says privately manufactured firearms are legal so long as the PMF is not an NFA item and the person building it not a prohibited person and could legally purchase it. It can't be sold or transferred without a serial # put on by an FFL.

A PMF IS legal federally and as far as I can tell has always been. If you're not a prohibited person and the PMF doesn't cross any NFA lines.

I've seen conflicting information about PMFs and the legality around them.

I've read several "definitive answers" about this.

"It's constitutionally protected and a PMF in New Mexico does not need to be serialized and is perfectly legal for the person who made it to have for personal use if said person could legally buy said PMF"

"Its constitutionally protected to make a pmf (weather that's a polymer 80, 80% lower build or 3d printed lower or whatever is considered to be the "firearm" for that build. But it needs to have a metal plate in bedded in the "firearm" part of the gun that needs to be serialized. "

There's conflicting info on the serial # engraving part as well.. some say it can be your own serial # that you put on.. others say You need to take it to an FFL to get it serialized and logged into the registry.

Lastly "it's illegal to make PMF in New Mexico weather it's 80% lower, p-80 or 3d printed.

Which is it? And how does someone who's a tinkerer, gun owner, not a prohibited person and law abiding citizen go about building their own firearm in NM without fear of getting in trouble for doing what tax paying citizens in our country have been doing legally since the start of it..?

I can't seem to find a definitive answer anywhere.

I got pulled over a few weeks ago for a lifeless taillight and after my warning I posed these questions to the officer that pulled me over and he had absolutely no idea and didn't know who to call or ask either. He said to just buy one.. which defeats the whole fun in making something from scratch it's a matter of making something nice that didn't come from a factory like building a race car as apposed to buying one. It's rewarding to do things on your own but not enough to go to jail.

Any advice or guidance on how to make a PMF legally would be greatly appreciated.

Hey yall, thought I would ask here for advice. I’ll also preface this with I’m not looking for legal advice and will not hold anybody to anything they say, I just need a good starting point.

I’m originally from PA but life brought me here and I am a NM resident now. One of my grandparents is no longer utilizing his firearms and offered me a shotgun and the handgun he taught me on. In PA, I would be fine because handing down firearms to grandchildren is permitted if I can legally own them (I 100% can and know it for a fact)

My only concern is with the handgun, as it was likely bought so long ago that there isn’t really any documentation that would usually come with a new gun, plus I don’t know what NM thinks about this process anymore.

Thanks in advance!

Wondering what FFLs people like in Albuquerque?

My brother got stuck at Cabelas for 2 hrs once, so I'm hoping to avoid something like that.

Seeing some conflicting info online. I want to buy a handgun, and I'm wondering if I need a driver's license with my current address, or if my RealID state id is enough.

DL still has my old address, but I'll be moving in a couple month so was hoping to use my id, which does have my current address.

Hey Folks.

Quick question. We are going to Santa Fe this coming up weekend. And staying for 10 days. Ive been going to NM, for over 25 years but never shot there before.

The question. Is there a place my wife and I can can just shoot a 22lr rifle? Public range or public land near the city? I dont mind driving 30 mins out to shoot.

Any advice or info would be super helpful and appreciated.

Much obliged.

How are our judges when it comes to 2A?

In WA, you must pay the tax that are owed to the government to your FFL even if you are just doing the transfer

Do you need to pay taxes when you pick up the firearm if your original online order has no taxes charged?

Hey! I used to use Jason's to buy sell and trade a lot back in the day, im wanting to see a few guns and ammo to make room for some new stuff ... where would you all recommend? Website or in person really.

I finally got my first gun after waiting the longest 7 days ever, and want to go shoot it. I can only find info online about shooting on designated ranges or BLM land, but am wondering about shooting on private land. I live in a pretty rural place on 100 acres, so If I walk out onto my land I can be 1/2 a mile from the nearest neighbor. There's a big hill for a backdrop and I just want to fire off a few rounds, nothing crazy. Anybody know if this is ok to do?

After jasonsguns was shut down janesguns has been a solid backup for ABQ/NM gun owners to buy/sell/trade. Everyone should check it out.

As of 2024, Is buying a blank p80/76 frame and jig together illegal?

Im new to guns my grandpa has a shotgun and I’m not sure the background of it he’s used it for hunting and I’m planning to take it hunting to the Lincoln forest is this not recommended

Anyone use this and how well does it work? I’ve been in abq for a few months and have to say the public range is pretty nice, but I’d like to get out and not be around other groups

I know a lot of other gun pages that I follow across social media sites have begun making MEWE groups for buying and selling. With the talk recently about Jason’s guns and other sites going down, I was curious if anyone had thought about doing that.

Does anyone have Detonics pocket 9 9 mm 6 round magazines for sale?

Check out our newest color of the month, Stormtrooper White featuring the SM19 Flash and SM19 Viper designed to work with the Generation 1-3 Glock 19.

I've bought guns off of Reddit but it was shipped. Is there any local Reddit threads? Are we allowed to post on this one?

Well, it looks like Jason's is now defunct, likely due to the newest Aft ruling regarding selling firearms. Is there another option for selling accessories locally that you would recommend? (Besides CL). Thanks.

Just moved to the Las Vegas area and looking to try out some guns we bought for self defense. Any BLM land or private shooting ranges in the area? I'd hate to have to drive up to Raton. Guy at the gun store mentioned a place in Tecolote but I can't find any info about it. Thanks in advance

Anyone know if there’s a 7 day waiting period for gun transfers? I’d like to know so when jasonsguns goes back up, I know what to expect.

Thank you in advance
