Second Firearm Thread...

[G G]

Well the ammo deal fell through. Even though they put the order through and charged my card, I got a call when the ammo arrived in the store and the dude says that there is a problem. He says the price I paid should have been the price on 600 rounds and not 1800 rounds. The problem I have with that is the fact that I added a note to the online order when I placed it telling them that if it was a mistake on the price then cancel the order. I followed that up with a phone call to the store and told them what I bought and was pretty sure the price was wrong, and they assured me that if the price was wrong on the website I would be contacted before it was charged, welllllllll it didn't.

So the guy tells me I can either accept the 600 rounds for the $264 I paid or he can refund me my money. It was a take it or leave it offer, so I left it. I told him he could kindly refund my money and even though he gave me a good price on the gun to go with the ammo, I would not be purchasing the gun either. If he had offered to throw in 150 or 300 extra rounds to go with the 600 rounds I would have taken it and been happy, because it wasn't my mistake, but the attitude he had caused me to say nopers, I will never worry about doing any business there in the future.

The good news is I saw a post in a forum thread about a place called Whittakers Guns in Kentucky that has the M&P 15 Sport II for $499.00. So I just placed the order for the M&P and 8 Gen 3 Magpul 30 round pmags to go with it for $615 and that includes insurance on the shipment. The guy with the ammo fiasco wanted $609 for just the gun.

Sorry that it fell through, but it's probably for the best. Like I said, that dealer has been a bit "strange" since it passed through several owners a few years ago. I stopped by there last year and tried to talk to the guy and got a really weird feeling that I just couldn't shake.

I hear you Steve, at the very least he seems to be one of those one way guys. His way or the highway. I also got the vibe that he was doing me a favor by selling me 600 rounds for $264, which was a decent price but they can be found for that all day long.

Congrats on the gun Greg.

Nice! I've kinda been thinking the same thing. Local shop had a pink .22 a few months ago, but they really liked it more than I did according to the price they had on it

Gently used for just over $300....plink, plink,plink!

The M&P 15 Sport II is gonna be at my local shop tomorrow. I ordered a 34 inch UBG covert case for it so I can carry it in my car or truck with me. Got it from Walmart for 30 bucks. Same one a bunch of other places charge 50 or more for. Got a compartment that holds up to 8 mags and other junk plus the rifle compartment with 6 velcro fasteners to hold the rifle in there real nice. I am feeling pretty lazy today so I probably won't post a pic. LOL

Sounds like a winner, I need another case also, maybe I'll check them out.

I saw a review on youtube about it. You can get it on Amazon and ebay for around 33 bucks Mike.

Got the M&P. I don't have anything to base my opinion on since I haven't ever had one before but I like it. Gonna have to shoot it to get used to the sights though.

Picked this up today. Browning Citori CX Crossover. I'm going to try and take it out tomorrow and put it through its paces.

Got my .22 set up with some new flip up sights and a micro red dot mounted on a low profile riser, got two more mags and 1300 rounds.
