Hi There

I first go to the LGS here first.  If not in stock, there is one in particuliar  i ask to check with their "distributor".  If this doesn't work, i usually work with a "dealer" on Gun Broker.com.  I make sure the following

1)  They take credit card (in case i don't get the item)

2)  They ship to Hawaii FFL (Not all do)

3)  If purchasing a handgun, the item already has the 10 round or less mags in place.

I have now 100% only shipped to one particuliar FFL

Good Luck!

Aloha!

Good advice. I may also add, that I call the company and ask them which FFL they have done business with in Hawaii, or which ones they have on file,  then call that FFL to make sure they are legit.

Like Flapp and others have mentioned, I’ve bought stuff from Gunbroker.   I’m lazy.  No worries about driving, looking for parking, waiting for service, maybe dealing with another fellow donkey behind the counter.

I also like to look at the Gundeals website, especially around typical sales events (July 4th, thanksgiving, etc).  There are a few places that offer free shipping

I try to sell when prices are high…..I try to wait till there is a glut to buy.   I think some guns are like 75% more compared to preBLM and preCovid.  And the Ukraine invasion is likely going to increase demand

What are you getting?

I’d really like a brand new Winchester Model 70 in 270 win.
Also looking to pick up a Beretta O/U sometime in the near future as well. I just have to be patient I guess haha.
