Thats why I do not go to local gun stores. I shop on line only.

$90 dollars for a front grip? That is insane.

With what I payed for my rifle and optics and rail and OTAL laser and all the other little things I could have bought one regular, no frills AR-15 at my local shop.

Let me guess. Hmmm you went to high Hyatt's. I work only 2 minutes from there. I go there to check out stuff and buy somewhere else. Also I asked the "lead" gunsmith about converting my bushy w/ ak brake to the preban version w/ bayo fsb and Phantom. He said it was more trouble than worth to them and that "they" decided they weren't going to get involved with it. They suck.

That's why I love the EE. Some of the local gun stores here has outrageous prices for parts.

The shop I go to usually...Shooter's Supply in Fayetteville...is the best shop I've ever been in. If it's within their power to do something to help you (no matter that it is a inconvinience to them) they will do it. Transfers, short notice express orders, custom work, etc. But I didn't want to drive 30 min from Spring Lake for some damned overglorified sandpaper when there is a shop 1/2 a mile from the house. It won't happen again.

Most of these dealers are working themselves right out of the market, and there will be few replacements. Less than 10% of the number of gun shops that existed prior to the AWB in the PRK are here now, and even most of those aren't doing as much business as they could be, because they refuse to compete on prices. Many of us would prefer to go buy things in person, but instead of keeping prices low and making it up on volume (and, BTW, getting constant traffic in the store, where people will buy other things), they seem to prefer to make the occasional sale at huge mark-ups, and sit and watch TV or BS with each other.
There are a couple of decent shops, and these places get plenty of business and make pretty good (not great, but good) money with volume sales. -Troy |

I once had bought a S&W 4506 bran new and didn't like it so I went to a dealer and was going to buy a SIG 220 from him with a surefire light for $350.00 but the SOB wouldnt give but $150.00 for the gun I had, I couldn't believe it... I couldn't believe they had the SIG so cheap, they sold used (heavily used) Glocks for over $600.00 but wouldn't cut me a deal. I dont even bother anymore. I went to my local shop this weekend and they had Mossberg 500A's for $200.00 used, I got mine for that new... It just is not worth it.
