Mike’s Mutterings

I would like to thank everyone that came out to the CTAGA gun show. If you came by the table and I didn’t get a chance to talk to you I am sorry for that. At times we were so busy that I couldn’t talk much.

The good news is, we have been getting some stock back in and we have a good selection of handguns in at this time with more coming in every day. If you need something special just let me know what you want and I will try to find it for you. I also have some WASR-10 rifle and AK-47 pistols in.

On doing transfers for my customers - We started doing them because a lot of you needed an FFL to transfer to when you bought some thing off of one of the auction sites. Here lately, I have been getting a lot more calls telling me that a customer has ordered a firearm from one of my suppliers and they want me to do the transfer for my regular fee and they get the firearm for the wholesale price. What brought this up was I just got a call that someone ordered a firearm from a supplier that I had in stock and they wanted me to do the transfer so they could get the firearm cheaper. So, as of this date of this posting, any firearm transfer coming from a supplier on list below the transfer fee will be ~  $40.00 for the first firearm and $15.00 for each additional firearm done on the same 4473. All other transfers will remain at $15.00 per 4473.

CountrySidewalk Trading Post has teamed up with the Sumner County Sheriff K-9 unit in a fund raising effort for the K-9 unit.

The raffle is for a DPMS  AR-16 Sportical rifle. The rifle comes with two 30 round magazines, cleaning kit and a hard case.

Raffle tickets are $10 each and they can be purchased from us at Countrysidewalk Trading post or by contacting the K-9 officers, deputy Rodger Church 620-440-1720 and deputy Tim Soule 620-440-1721. Click here to view the raffle flyer.

The Sumner Country Sheriff K-9 unit is entirely funded by donations from the public and fundraisers. The taxpayers pay no money for the dogs. The K-9 program started more than 10 years ago. The dogs are treated like any other officer. The money raised goes to the cost of training, care and cost of the K-9 officers.

We are proud to help such a worthy cause.

On the shop side just before I left the shop today we received a few of the Kel-tec PF-9 9mm pistols, Phoenix Arms HP-22A pistols in 22rf and the Rock Island 1911 compacts in 45acp. I did not have time to look at my wish list but if you have one of these on the wish list I will be calling starting tomorrow.

I thought of the title for the edition of the blog after the gun show the weekend of 11/22 and 11/23. Guns were going off of the table so fast I couldn’t keep up with the paperwork.

I was only able to take one complete AR and a complete AR lower assembly. Both of them sold in the first hour.  All of the rest of them that I had in stock sold before the show. On the AK side – when the show opened on Saturday at 09:00 I had four AK type rifles in 7.62X39 and one in 5.56X45. All of the 7.62X39 rifles sold before 10:00 and the 5.56X45 was gone by noon.

I have contacted all of my suppliers and everyone is out of all “Black Rifles” at this time and no firm date as to when they will have any in.

On a good note, even though I sold out of HiPoint pistols I have gotten some 40 S&W and 45 acp pistols back in stock. I don’t know how long they will be here so if you want one you might act fast.

With ammo I have some Bear .223, 500 rd boxes in stock and I all so have some Golden Tiger and Wolf 7.62X39. It is going fast so get it while you can find it!

At this time I will no longer quote prices for firearms over the phone. If you want a price you need to be in the shop and I will check my suppliers inventory and give you a price that is only good at that time. Firearms are selling so fast that if you wait I might have to go to another supplier and I may have to pay more for the firearm. It has already happened to me and I had to sell a firearm for less money than it cost me because my first choice supplier was out when I ordered the firearm that I had quoted just three hours prior.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and Mike has left the building.

Hi everybody,

If you look on the home page (www.countrysidewalk.com) you can see that we have two trailers for sale. Both of these trailers have been great for us but we need a bigger one. They pull great (over 70mph without any problem) and they are in great shape.

On the gun front – I have sold out of the Mossberg 500 JIC shotguns but I have more on the way.

I have also been asked about what is happening on the Romainian WASR AK-47 rifles. I was told that the factory that was building them is now producing auto parts. So it sounds to me that if you want one now would be the time to get it before the prices go up.

That’s about all for now. If you have any questions please fell free to email me.
