Well I just wanted to pass on some good news; Gator Guns in Kenai is a great shop to deal with. A number of weeks ago I bought some surplus ammo from the shop. I found that the ammo was to high pressure for my M1 Garand and not safe. I took the ammo back to the shop and spoke with the owner, he agreed without a hitch to take the ammo back. I traded the30-06 for some other ammo .223 without a problem. It was refreshing to not have to argue the point and ask someone to do the right thing. Kudos to Gator Guns in Kenai. I will be sending a lot of my money there from now one. |
| Fairbanks is worse off. There is one smith I know but he doesn't advertise, he doesn't have to as his reputation is all he needs. Then there is a fairly good smith with a storefront but he does not like to work on black rifles, at least AR's, due to his past experiences in RVN. I did get him to properly mount my scope on an SPR though. The biggest gun store only does basic smithing/fixing, then you have to let one of the employees whine condescendingly if your firearm or ideas are diverse from his opinion. However, my business partner is a full C2, one of only three in Alaska, and we set up a machine shop to build suppressors. The only problem is we both work out of town and summers he is occupied with gold mine ventures. I just can't win. |
