No kidding. I called about how much it would cost to shorten a barrel to SBS length. I said I had the proper paperwork and tax stamp. [The company is located in a state that allows all NFA items].
He says: "We provide services to hunters around here, not murderers." I mentioned the purpose of the Second Amendment, the legality of self-defense, suggested he read Scalia's Heller opinion, and ended the call. #@%* Fudd! Are Fudds really that clueless? Have you had a similar experience? What did (or would) you say? ETA:
I'm not going to make this a "call out" type deal. It isn't a major manufacturer. I have previously heard from Fudds at the range and at gun stores, but not from "professionals" who should have a clue. Fudds are a continuing "issue" and many seem to have bought into the media bullshit. How do you deal with them (if at all)? |

Agreed. Time to boycott. That dude needs to get his facts straight about crime with NFA stuff, too... |
|
|
Name the place
Why would someone post a story like this and not give the name for people to avoid giving their money to them? |
|
Name him. Name him. Name him. Name him. Name him. Name him. Name him. Name him. Name him. Name him.
I can go on all night... |

This is DEFINATELY a time to give a name. This ain't about a refund or delay, this sounds like an attack on the values that pay his salary. If you hate any gun get the fuck out of the gun business.

and give the name of the person you spoke to as well....I'd be curious to see if its one person't opinion or the company motto
|
|
By naming them so the rest of us can avoid using their services and they learn by losing business. |
|
|
You got called a fucking murderer and you are reluctant to name them? Shit, I guess I just won't buy any more shotgun parts then out of spite and general principle.
|
|
name the company and the person on the phone or it didn't happen!
S |
|
Were you laughing like a maniac and revving a chainsaw when you asked?
|
|
[>:// I am skeptical
a simple we do not sell or work on NFA weapons would have been acceptable IMO |
|
This is the part of the thread where the OP never posts again.
|
|
Name. Why allow fellow arfcommers to unknowingly ontinue to support such bs?
|
|
I'm calling BS.
If it had happened to me, I'd have posted the name right off the bat. |
|
I'm contemplating IM'ing you in "strict confidence" and if you choose to ignore my request, you and ARFcom can take the heat for "publishing" it. (although I'd get named in any suit without doubt). I believe if you think about it for a bit, you'll recognize it would amount to a massive waste of time and energy. I swear that is what he said. |

If it isn't Remington or Wilson I don't really give a shit. They're the only ones I buy from anyway and I know they have no problems with SBS or AOW.
|
|
Name please.
Now, who makes shotguns. I'll work on a process of elimination here. H&R or Weatherby perhaps? |
|
If any company representative told me that, I'd have their name in bold in the thread title. |

Big shotgun name in Texas that is somewhat apprehensive to do tactical work
I have a pretty good idea who it is their name start with a B? if not I will delete my post |
|
Sounds pretty far out there to me.
Anyone who says something like that ought to be outed immediately. That is a terrible fucking thing to |
|
Wow!!!
In my opinion, I can understand your reasons for not wanting to name the company. I can also understand why everyone wants to know the name of the company as well. If it happened to me, I would probably call again to talk to a supervisor. For them not to do work on an NFA is understandable, but for them to call you a murderer is DEFAMATION. If the company's policy matches up to what the customer service rep said the first time, I think it would be acceptable to come clean on the company. I sure would not want to give that company any of my hard earned dollars. Just to spite those bastards, I would probably get the barrel cut down and mail a picture to them. Do what you think is right. BTW, I'm so glad it's not Mossberg or I would be pissed. |
|
BTW, +1 on this. |
|
|
I'm contemplating IM'ing in strict confidence, this is why I post it on an open forum, because it's all strict and shit. |

On One hand...having the company rep/owner/whoever insinuate that you (and by extension, ANYONE) who owns an SBR/SBS is a murderer is DEFINITLY worthy of being outed, and Zumbo'ed by the membership....
HOWEVER..with the shit going on right now with the Lawsuit by a certain supressor manufacturer against an ARFcommer..i cant say I blame him for NOT naming names...at least until the suit is settled one way or another.. How Screwed are we if it DOES get to the point that a Customer Service/Quality control complaint becomed fodder for a lawsuit??? |
|
How the hell can they sue him for just repeating their stance on a certain matter? As long as he isn't falsely advertising their products as defective what can they do? |
|
|
Subscribed to find out what company it is.
If you don't want to name names, then please IM it. |
|
All the more reason to boycott them... |
|
|
@ OP
Off topic but uh.... what is a "FUDD"? My older bro is kind of like that... he doesn't like much besides bolt rifles. Thinks anything else is stupid/pointless. |
