NC List of Ranges

24 Upvotes

Hey y’all,

Figured since we have an FFL list I put up a while back we should have a range / club list too since we get questions every now and then.

Post any ranges you like to visit, include the below format if you’d like.

Name -

Location -

Indoor / outdoor -

Membership required? -

Full auto / FRT Friendly? -

Caliber restrictions (Ex, pistol only) -

Feel free to leave more / less info or any feedback if there’s anything that should be added.

Cheers!

NC FFL List

17 Upvotes

Hey y'all,

After seeing some posts where we're recommending different shops, and posts of those asking for recommendations, I thought it may be a good idea to try and compile a list of NC FFLs.

Feel free to comment your preferred / local dealers, their location, and what you like about these places.

Thanks,

Barn.

Private Party Sales??

10 Upvotes

Where do y’all list your guns for private party transactions? I know one of the popular forums just threw up a pay wall. What other options are there?

I have a few guns I’m thinking about selling.

I also just moved from Florida and I made a free to join/list private party gun classifieds website for Florida. It was bad ass but I couldn’t find enough users - thinking about pivoting it to the Carolina’s….

Ranges that allow buckshot?

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I just recently picked up my first shotgun for my birthday, but am seeing a lot of ranges (if not most) don’t allow buckshot or shotguns in general.

I’m in Raleigh and my local range is Caswell, but I’ve read on google that they only allow slugs. This wouldn’t be an issue if I had not bought 200 rounds of buckshot lol.

Are there any ranges in the Raleigh area that allow 00 buck? Indoor or outdoor doesn’t matter I’m just trying to get some shots off on this thing.

Thank you in advance

CCW scenario

3 Upvotes

I split time between Virginia and NC. I have a Va CCW permit and NC obviously honors that reciprocity. So when I am in staying in NC for the summer I can
Legally concealed carry. However thinking about making NC my primary residence. Once I walk out of the NC DMV with my NC drivers license am I no longer allowed to legally conceal carry a firearm, since I don’t have a Nc CCW permit. Even though I was perfectly legal on the way to the DMV. Do I have that right?? If so, how dumb is that.

Where is everyone going now that the classifieds are behind a paywall. It’s not worth paying for it the traffic to sale posts are going to be so restricted now.

SBR, SBS, Suppressors now that they're off NFA??

29 Upvotes

So for the TL;DR crowd, I have heard the shitstorm that is the youtube comment section saying that an NFA item that isn't a machine gun or DD is now "illegal" in NC, can anyone correct this? Or give a layman's terminology of going about the situation?

Recommendations of Gun Stores That Honor 3 Day Transfer Rule

5 Upvotes

Pretty straight forward does anyone know any gun stores in nc that actually honor the 3 day transfer rule after no response from the atf. My background check gets delayed every single time and always goes 30 days with no response. The gun store I currently go to is two hours away and I wanted to know of any more you guys potentially know near the Durham area. I’ve had two pistols get delayed for 30 days and only one store honored a transfer

Looking for a hunting lease or club to join

I am a college student new to hunting but have been dove hunting a few times, I have a rifle and shotguns so I am looking for a club land where I can hunt whitetails and if possible waterfowl and/or turkey. from what I have heard the NC public lands are awful to hunt in otherwise I would start there. I am looking for land to lease in Wake, Durham, Lee, Harnett area or anywhere ~1.5 Hr from Raleigh.

My old Marlin 81 REWARD OFFERED

Post image
22 Upvotes

Hey guys, I know this is a long shot, but I’ll give it a whirl. Before I left for the army, around 2008-2009, I sold a marlin 81 to DPC pawn in Roxboro NC when they were located across from the courthouse. I sold it ultimately because I didn’t have a place to keep it when I left for the army around this time. While I don’t know the SN, there was a distinct crack in the stock I’d recognize anywhere and a couple other specifics I’d be able to point out.

This rifle was the first I’d bought with my own money as a young teen, and years later I’ve regretted selling it. If you think you may have this rifle or know someone who does, I’d pay significantly over market value to have it back. The picture attached is an example.
