    I bought a WWII M1 that needs to be shipped to a licensed gun dealer and then registered. I would appreciate any recommendations, ideally in the western suburbs?

    Wow! I thought Bell's closed down a long time ago. I used to live in Franklin Park growing up. My dad bought quite a few guns from them. Used to go target shooting on their pistol range.

    I was just there this weekend. A bit cramped in the range, especially if you are sharing space with someone. But there's no shortage of toys upstairs. I had my eye on one of their M82s, but figured my neighbors might freak if they knew I had one of those lying around!

    Thanks again for all of the information.

    Shot the M1 this past weekend, WOW. It gave me a whole new level of appreciation for WWII veterans. While it was great fun at the range, it must have been terrifying in a battle.
