The next day I called up sales and got to talk to someone about what happened. I got a call back from the manager of the same Bass Pro and he kept apologizing for what happened. For compensation he gave me a discount on ammo. Now that they know there should be no problems in the future.
>>28490958

You sound like an insufferable little bitch. If you pulled that shit at my store, I'd have your picture by the register just to remind all employees not to put up with your crap. Don't like it? Try to pull that anywhere else.

It's more like what you get at the DMV. It's a very old fashioned way of doing things that apparently persists at Bass Pro.

Dude that only matters if you're buying used. The industrial revolution made it so that interchangeable parts are standard.

Fuck that shit. The rule is a stupid BS bureaucratic rule, and this poor oppressed Masshole /k/ommando uttered the key words/tricky phrase necessary to legally bypass it. By law, the store was totally in the clear to sell, but the fudds/sjw antis at the fun counter got buttmad about someone <drinking age purchasing an expensive cartridge, and decided to act like every other limpdicked, lace panties wearing, communist bureaucrat in that left wing socialist shithole.

From alaska
"Hey we could use less deer rifles and more magnum caliber rifles, hunting season is coming up" " inventory says your pretty well stocked on rifles. What's wrong with them?" "30-06 is the only one I have large enough to take down a moose or caribou the most popular game up here, .204, .223, .243, 22-250 and even .270 don't quite cut it" "Sigh.. we will see what we can do" 2 weeks later a shipment comes on with a one .308. One opticless $800 300WM. And a bunch of .357 lever guns. They have the absolute stupidest buyers for firearms.
And no ordering ARs, unless it's a brand we sell on the shelf. Dpms is a safe AR but FN, previously colt, bushmaster, delton, Daniel defense ect ect are unsafe ARs. Because if someone wants to drop 1500 dollars on an AR through us, they must have ill intentions, sell them cheaper ones its safer, but on the flip side of that Century arms was removed from our list because we ordered a couple 200 nuggets. "Weapons of war Shouldn't be so cheap, look they even come with a bayonet!"
Everytime they did a walk of my store you could see the fear in their eyes as they scurry quickly past the desk. Even heard one say "scary stuff"
" wow you sold those overpriced 45/70s fast" "heh Yeah it's a popular caliber up here, btw when are we getting more?" "Oh you'll have to wait till next year, we are "shifting our focus" for the next few months."
I couldn't take it anymore and quit recently, it's very very frustrating selling guns for liberals. "We want you to both sell more and sell less at the same time and your support will be a fudd, a queer and, a SJW."
>>28493773
Dat P90 and ghost AK.
>>28493583
Swiss here too what shop was it?
>>28493773
They do have good deals every so often though. I remember the m855 panic. The day it came up was the day freds put their PMC green tip on sale for like 7.49. Bought out the one store. Next day I went to the other freds in town and the sale was cut short by a week. Still plenty in stock just back up to 11.49. I also got about 600 rds of winchester white box for 7.99 a box once.
Shitty they are a bunch of antis though.
>>28493583
> grabs a calculator.
I'm really curious what kind of mathematical gymnastics he did to cone up with that.
>>28494765
obviously he just picked up the calculator to make it look like he knew what he was talking about
>>28489848
The only gun I've ever bought at a chain store was a Ruger 10/22 from Dicks because it was on sale. Everything else I've bought from a LGS because they can get you exactly what you want.
>>28489877
I go where I can get deals. Every so often a large store will either fuck up and price something as something else, also I've noticed if you find the lead or manager of the desk they are usually able to give discounts for just being a chill customer. And also big stores can afford to have big sales. They make a hundred thousand in a day. 50 bucks off some guys rifle isn't a huge deal and they know he's coming back. A smaller LGS that makes 2000 on a good day would be greater impacted and less inclined to give discounts. And service is a non-issue you can get shitty stupid advise from a small LGS just as you can from a big store. And big stores are at least trained in being nice and friendly in their rejections. But the second you ask Mr. Salty nam vet for a discount on that $450 SKS you turn into private pile that needs a smoking.

Quick question about this guys, what is a mossman? I've seen it posted here a few times but Google doesn't pull anything for me. Is it a type of mossberg or something?
>>28492305
You sound like you'd be a great fit for customer service, friend. Allow me to suggest a career in fast food preparation, or perhaps high-speed cocksucking.
>>28492700
He's probably from Illinoise. FOID card, rule about asking about handgun vs rifle ammo.
>>28492700
In Alaska the law actually is a handgun cartridge cannot be sold to anyone under the age of 21. And "it's for a rifle" is not a legally acceptable excuse. I'm not saying it's enforced to any extent. But that is the law. Which makes sense 21 has not to do with drinking age but with the age you can legally buy a handgun.
You sound like a pissed off 18y/o and I would not sell you handgun ammo in my shop.
>>28492249
>wahhh wahhh wahhh if the law says you can sell it to me you need to sell it to me.
You sound like those bitches bitching because a cake company wont make a gay wedding cake.
GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
If it makes you feel any better i wouldnt have sold you any handgun ammo.
>>28492425
Some stores have policy's on not selling handgun ammo to autistic 18 year olds. Store policy if not in violation of the law, trumps the law as it is a private business and they are free to do as they want.
>>28495140
The guy telling the story had already established that it wasn't store policy because he'd dealt with the same issue before and it had been cleared.

Use a fish scale you autist. That's how they measured trigger pull at rifle competitions in high school. Takes literally seconds to do.

>>28495245
He said he didn't have a scale. He was assuming they had one at the shop and was surprised when they didn't have one and wanted to charge 25 bucks for it.
However to be fair he could probably just take what Google says as it's weight, unless he feels it's abnormally heavy ot light.
>>28494836
It's a type of mossberg, yes.
Google better next time.
Wow America must be a complete 180 when it comes to gun shops. Here in Canada the big brand stores (Cabelas, Basspro, Canadiantire, etc.) are far superior to our local gun stores.
For example:
>Don't have weird ass hours, are actually open on the weekends
>Far cheaper and don't price gouge me as much
>Have a very large variety of inventory
>Customer service is somewhat decent, no one is rude
>Get free shit from reward cards or there is constant sales
Everytime I go my LGS the people are rude there, everything is overpriced as fuck, they have a shitty selection of items, and they go out of the way to fuck you over.
Besides a handful of a few places most Canadian LGS are cuntfarms.
>>28490958

>>28495310
Cabelas. They'll have more inventory. They will have a special little room with cool expensive shit over $2000. Anything from antiques to colt revolvers to the super high end ARs.
They even have racks in the open of various rifles that anyone can pick up and look at. Nuggest, crap AKs etc.
>live in new jersey
>cant buy guns without bueracratic bs

because a criminal under 21 would need to go buy ammo from a shop because the guy who illegally sold him the pistol didn't include ammo. i swear gun laws don't even try to make sense.

don't care so much because I got to hold and gently molest a Johnson rifle and an SVT.

would have been nice to have that around at the time. i went through 5-6 websites, at least a dozen LGS's, and even tried BPS/Gander/Academy. nobody had one and i needed a new carry piece.
>>28496478
>Also, why in god's name is the used one more expensive than the new one?
all i can figure is they paid too much for it and were trying to dump it off on a sucker.
i really didn't like the price but it is what it is.
>>28496526
Don't worry about >>28496478
The lower the cost of a gun, the more it makes sense to buy from a store since taxes are gonna be low on a $350 item.
Also add $20-40 for a transfer fee.
So it's really a comparison of about $265 vs $360. If $95 was worth it to you to have it instantly then you broke even.
On the other hand... Taurus sucks, had to say it.
>>28496478
>Also, why in god's name is the used one more expensive than the new one?
Consignment maybe?
The Cabelas in my area has had the exact same No4Mk1 Enfield sitting on a rack for $900 for the past 3 years.
Same place is trying to sell PTR91s for 120% of MSRP
>>28496526
I bought one around the same time as you from DEguns, slightly more expensive, but still below 250$ (sporstmanoutdoors didn't have it in stock last quarter).
Always, ALWAYS check wikiarms before you buy something, at least just to see what the market price is.
Enjoy it, though, it's a decent gun, especially for a Taurus.

>>28496667
>you couldn't say with any certainty that it would be a week
If it's in stock, you can expect it to arrive within a week. I got mine in like 5 days.
It was, of course, in stock, when I bought it circa late november.

Cabelas is generally pretty shit when it comes to pricing, which is retarded because they buy guns from people at 65% of their value. But you can find some good deals at times.
I had bought a pre war Walther PP with an R.J marking on it from a pawn shop for $250 and went to cabelas because i needed some .32. Well for fun I had their "gun experts" inspect it and offer to buy it. They wanted to give me $195 for it saying it was a post was Walter and wasn't valuable. I explained that the factory it was made at was destroyed in WW2. They also thought the R.J was just someone's initials and ignored it altogether.
The R.J means it was sold to the Reich's Justice department.
They actually offered me a job because I knew more than they did.

Dad ended up loving the present and I never went back to that store. I heard from another clerk that they get some kind of commission or deal if they sell a lot of new stuff but Im not sure

I fucking hate salespeople like that
When your customer is there for a specific thing, you should be helping them on that and try to talk to them about getting something you really want to sell. If they clearly don't want it, stop.

I sell guns at a Bass Pro Shop.
Can help explain some things here.
We use the number system when it gets busy. Sale of firearms at a retail store is much different from most LGS. We generally deal with novices, people who only buy guns at major retail outlets, or people who had bad experiences in LGS. To make a long story short it shuts up customers who feel entitled and complain we didn't rush directly to them when there were four or five people waiting patiently ahead of them. More commonly than you think people start yelling (yes actually yelling) until you help them, they are extremely rude to you when you are visibly overwhelmed, and then demand a discount and complain about you to the manager. It can be very frustrating.
Because its non-commissioned and a retail outlet we are forced to be super friendly to anyone who walks up no matter how pants on head retarded things get. Unless you are doing something unsafe or suggest something unlawful I can't tell you to fuck off and move on to the next customer.
Some of my colleagues are inept when it comes to firearms knowledge. They are great people who do a good job managing inventory, etc but just don't have any firearms experience. Just be polite and respectful and ask if someone who knows a little more about that specific subject can help.
I will monitor this for a few minutes if anyone has any questions.

Why do I want this? I should be disgusted that my favorite rifle was mutilated into this form but instead I am intrigued and wish to fire it.
Now I'm tempted to buy another No I Mk III to SBR (or does this count as a pistol? I don't know the legality). It would go nice after I get one made into a DeLisle.

Well it's from fred meyers based out of Seattle. Basically they had a group of liberals get together and write down everything they thought was scary about guns, then opened a gun desk in their grocery store.
I was even told "magazines do not belong on display firearms" so I asked if that meant I needed to remove tubes from shotguns and the flush magazines from hunting rifles. "No just the extended magazines on our assault rifles."
These are the same people that are now no longer displaying ARs but they are selling them out of the back. A customer must ask if we have them then must wait for the employee to go to the gun cage and get it. Perfectly Okay to sell but god forbid someone looks at one.

Del Valle Gunsmithing, in Commiefornia. Owner's a decent enough guy, but the older dude who, I'm convinced, hates any firearm not 30 years old and made of wood.

Remington and it's subsidiaries (Marlin particularly) were acquired by some actual faggots a few years back and their quality assurance went to absolute shit.
Mossbergs are the way to go for the foreseeable future.

Strange. My 11-87 is godly reliable and my dad's 930 is shit. I may have replaced a factory O-ring with a larger OD one to increase gas pressure pushing on the piston. Since I did that it cycles light target up to 3in slugs fine.

You can even hold a firearm you are considering buying, once you are legal to do so, in at a fucking gun counter. But its legal to rent a firearm. I can rent a full auto whatever at a range, but I cant legally on it in Illinois. See my problem with the logic?

At least the owner's a great guy, zeroed the whole thing out for mine so I had no out of pocket. No clue what happened for my mom's costs, I really should ask. Too bad his staff is mostly grumpy ass fudds and an even grumpier "gunsmith" who apparently cant do much and absolutely can't do anything on time.

I don't have a bad experience really, but that is as close as it comes. Everything in there is always overprices. I just have a habit of browsing used guns to one day come across a very good deal.
