New gun from gunbroker.com?

[mdsuave13]

I was looking at a New in box Springfield xd40 subcompact on gunbroker, i didn't win the auction, but i was curious to know if it is legal to purchase a new gun on there?

I assume it comes from the factory with a spent shell casing, but i'm not 100% sure on the rules about this.

Can anyone help me out?

Perfectly legal and Springfields do come with the fired case.

suuuuuhhhh weeeeeeet!

mmmkay, now all i have to do is win an auction on one of these lil bad boys!

Thanks.

I would verify by contacting the seller that he has the expired casing. Also, some sellers will refuse to do business with maryland. Lastly talk to your FFL first. some FFL's do not like to transfer stuff they carry. A few will match the auction price right off and save the hassle of bidding (Fred's sporting goods did that for my 1911).

thanks drmsparks, i use arundel firearms and pawn, they carry the springfield line, but they have horrendous prices in comparison, plus a guy owes me a favor and is willing to do so.

i did contact the guy and he said it did come with the casing and would be no problem in sending it to md, so i guess i'm in luck!

Contact Vincent at Gideon Gun Sales. He can get XD's and has VERY good prices and customer service.

Unless they place in the auction that they refuse to do business with Md. F'em. The "You are entering into a contract by bidding" stuff works both ways.

I purchased a NIB Springer XD-45 service model for $475 last year when I lived in Arizona. Great gun and rides great in my Desanti's IWB holster. At least it did when I lived in a state that allowed CCW with a license.

I used to deal with Arundel Firearms & Pawn, but the guy still lives in the dark ages, wont accept a faxed FFL and wont fax his out either, just kinda stupid really. U're best bet is to find a dealer with a low xfer cost, and theres alot of good websites that have all the XD models at a very good price, in fact I just picked up one from www.xdpistols.com .........very sweet.

Barts Sporting goods will do the transfer but they charge $50 if I remember right that has the State app included

Lou Klein (www.coolshooting.net) always has XD's in stock. Try local before you buy out of state.

drive a short distance further south on Crain Hwy
and check out A and D pawn.
