Key to KTP: Go on a weekday in the morning!!! I have been there MANY times and bought many guns there, just because of the selection. There is a guy Dana, short guy, who is really nice, so long as they are not busy. There is this one italian looking guy who usually is in the shotgun section in the corner who is a REAL son of a you know what. A real snob regardless of when you go. Go on a weekend and they are all hypersensitive to what guns are out and all the people, so they are not as helpful. When I went to decide between a Walther, a Sig 232, and a Kahr, it was on a monday morning and I had two or three guys helping me decide! If they are not busy, the guy at the reloading area with a messed up hand is really nice too (no disrespect to him of course, just an easy way to identify him).
Another good place to go is Howell's Gun & Archery on Route 202 right off the Gray Exit on the Maine Turnpike. They have a pretty good selection of used and new guns, and have the black rifles right out with everything else.
Yes, a lot of us Maine hunters are .30-30 lever guys who don't see the use of those military plastic rifles, but some of us hunt with .50 Beowulf AR's now!!! I got some STRANGE looks when I came out of the woods this past fall! I have a .45-70 lever gun too though, but the Beowulf is so much more fun to carry!
I got a letter from Sue Collins (form letter probably) saying she would never infringe upon our right to keep and bear arms. I wrote her about some bill someone was going to vote on, but I guess not her. Nice letter, even if it was from a politician...
Anyone in the Concord area, or Rochester, or southern NH/ME even, should get in touch with Lars at Umlaut Arms for AR15 stuff. He built my .50 Beowulf rifle and has a site www.50beowulf.com devoted to that stuff, plus his www.umlautarms.com site is the rest of the AR stuff. He is a great guy to deal with.
