Heard from a friend today that Chip was closing up shop. Bummer as I always had good dealings with him. He's still fulfilling orders that were previously placed with him, but is stepping away to refocus on his family. |

Definitely understand the priority decision, but that's unfortunate to hear!

I'm right down the street from Chip, afaik he keeps a normal day job on top of his FFL. I have a day job as well on top of my FFL but I'm not a high volume dealer, with as many people I've heard of using him I bet it keeps him pretty busy.

Heard that too a while back.
I went to Chip based on a recommendation and dealing with him was great. I wish him the best and if he returns to the business in the future I'd like to know about it. |

Line out the door, through the garage, and up the stairs, if you have been there you get the reference. |

I called him up in January to buy a Salvo 12 from him.
He told me he had closed up shop. I thanked him and wished him well. |

my cascade arsenal experience wasn't awesome, and most of what ive heard about about him was negative too. you guys in here must be the handful that got lucky. me and a friends first foray into NFA was through chip, and it was nothing but bullshit and headaches. went way out of town for my next two purchases cause of how annoyed I was with chip, then I stumbled upon MKX who was in town and haven't gone anywhere else since. good riddance indeed.

When a customer walks in a another mans home with a I know everything attitude and tries to tell him how to run his business or how its going to be is very disrespectful. There are always a few that may have a bad experience with one dealer or another and you are one of the very few. The small few are way out numbered by the happy customers he had so move on to something more positive instead of shitting on people you didn't get along with one time in your life several years ago. |

I dealt with Chip on 3 different items and had a very good experience each time.
Until now I've never heard a bad word spoken about Chip and in fact, it was an WAHTF referral that sent me there. I called him about a year later seeking some info on changing my trust and he talked me through it and followed up with an email to make sure I had it right. He's a class act and will be missed. . |

All my cans are from Chip. Dude was awesome to deal with. I won't say what his other job was, but it would have been a lot of work to take care of both and to try and simultaneously please some of these dbags.
Very knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to bullshit with. Wish him the best. |

I never exhibited any "know everything" attitude. I simply asked him one question and he flew off the handle and called me a moron. For that reason I no longer sent him business (of which to that point I sent him TONS). Pretty simple, really. If you can't handle that, so be it. |

Curious......What was the question? The icing on the cake was not two weeks later someone posted right here in this forum "Hey I just ordered my first can from Chip and he eFiled my Form 4!". Yeah needless to say I was a little heated after reading that. That was my personal experience. I also have several friends who did buy cans from Chip and had a horrible customer service experience. I heard their stories first hand, but not sharing on their behalf. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I asked if he submits Form 4 using the eFile system. This was back when eFile just launched Form 4 the first time. I was ready to pull a trigger on a Octane 45 and read about several dealers signing up for eFile and putting forms into the system successfully. At this point eFile Form4 had been out around a couple weeks. I called Chip to place my order and first asked if he had signed up for ATF eFile yet and willing to submit my form digitally. He told me I was a moron for believing everything I read online and it was BS. He went off on a rant for a couple more minutes about more shit I didn't care to remember. Then at the end he then shared the real reason when he admitted he preferred to just make copies and mail then deal with digital scanning documents. Told me everything I needed to know. I never called again, and never again sent a customer his way. The icing on the cake was not two weeks later someone posted right here in this forum "Hey I just ordered my first can from Chip and he eFiled my Form 4!". Yeah needless to say I was a little heated after reading that. That was my personal experience. I also have several friends who did buy cans from Chip and had a horrible customer service experience. I heard their stories first hand, but not sharing on their behalf. I've bought 4 cans from him without issue. I'll be sad to see him go but I'm glad he will have more time with his family. That is most important. |

Purchased several cans from chip and like most, never had an issue. I know his email responses were short and to the point, maybe some people are sensitive to that, but he was always a pleasure in person.
Since he's done, is there anyone else that has a speq account with sico nearby? |

I've bought all my suppressors from Chip, a total of 6. My buddy also bought at least 6-8 through Chip. He's price is good and communication is good too.
