Gum Store Stories Thread Goooo
Great thread.
You should probably start a gun store stories thread with a story about a gun store.
Was gonna say I know that gun store, but then I clicked the thumbnail, and the entrance is on the wrong side, and they have a roll down shutter instead of that pull to the side thing. But that wall and those glass cases look almost exactly the same.

the owner of my lgs is actually a /k/ommando that posts pictures from his shop every so often. in fact today i bought a lower from him and he asked me "which serial number do you want?" and one ended in 88 and the other was like 04 or something. he looked at me and i know he wanted me to say DUBS. its kind of like we know we both come here but never acknowledged it out loud.
anyways

>neckbeard says oh ok well i will see you later and walks out

seriously what the fuck is with mosins and autists? i think mosin lust should be added to the dsm 4 as a symptom of autism along with the other stupid shit they do.
>>29875475
Same, looked similar to VA arms... then I realized most lgs look the same.
I work behind the gun counter of a big box store, but I've only been there a month. I had a fudd family get their NICS denied and get salty, but nothing else really. The place I work is a "sporting goods" store, so it's mostly Savage Axis hunting rifles and camo painted shotguns. Management got rid of our ARs and pistols after some mass shooting but we're getting them back in October.
Also had a guy ask me for a 'seben millumeeter' deer rifle, because apparently his .243 wasn't stopping them fast enough for his fat ass to catch up to.
I assumed he was looking for 7mm Mag, which we don't carry, but no, he was satisfied looking at our 30-06s and 308s once I explained that they fired 7.62mm bullets.

Because Mosins are for poorfags, and poorfags are typically dumb. If they were a bit smarter, they'd get a similarly-priced Maverick 88, Pardner Pump, IAC HAWK 982, etc.

These are the same assholes who refused to sell me an Arsenal SLR-106FR last year because I still had my Oregon license.
>>29876278
His explanation for not selling to me was he didn't want to sell me a rifle that was restricted in Oregon, in case it ended up used in a crime.
He actually thought I had come up from Oregon to buy an "assault weapon" to take back because I couldn't get it there.

where the fuck do people come up with this shit? i can imagine the guy in my head.
the other day i pulled up to my lgs and i saw a crown vic or mercury with a bunch of nobama and army stickers covering the entire back and i thought

im in for a treat when i go in there today. turns out i was but this time the guy was talkin about "that russian kid on youtube gonna blow himselfs up one of these days"
>>29876375
One of my favorite things about my LGS is that the guys who work there cringe as much as I do when people like that come in.
>>29876320
Are you in a waiting period state? Just drop a job application at your LGS and hope you get hired within 10 days.
>>29876375
>"that russian kid on youtube gonna blow himselfs up one of these days"
my sides.
Although, FPSRussia did almost burn himself like a fucking retard from aiming a flamethrower too damn high.
>>29876375
Yeah, it's weird. That gun store has a huge selection of tactical stuff and high end guns and optics, but the staff knows next to nothing. It's the only family owned gun store for 60 miles, the only other options being Sportsmans Warehouse and Coastal Farm & Ranch.
It's torture living here and I can't wait to build my private range on my property and setup my Dillion. I'll be that strange hermit no one sees but everyone hears gunfire coming from all the time so they're afraid to come around.
>>29876159
>>'yup, you know what these are called? thats an exdo clip'
I'm still pretty new to funs, could you explain what's wrong here? From what I can tell, jrc is a carbine, so giving a handgun mag for it would be retarded. what the hell is an exdo clip?
>>29876114
Sad thing is, /k/ keeps saying how cheap Mosin's are, but most of the listings I've seen on gunbroker are for at least $200, even more for hex. I would hope I could find a cheaper one at an lgs, but all the one's I've been to so far are stocked with tacticool shit.
>>29876375
>>29876441
I have to edit what I said.
>That gun store has a huge selection of tactical stuff and high end guns and optics, but the staff knows next to nothing and this area is filled with Fudds that scoff at anything not wooden.
The amount of misinformation I hear around here is astounding. I met a guy who doesn't load his .40 S&W XD(M) (he emphasized the "match" part) with more than 5 rounds of FMJ because JHP is a scam and no firefight lasts longer than 5 rounds.

JRC's use glock mags. Like I said. They use hangun mags lilke you said. Clips dont go in either glocks or JRC's and exendo is cringy for extended. its as 33 round glock mag, or even extended glock mag...but exendo clip? sorry i miss types exendo the first time if that makes a difference.
pretty recent story, up in northern california
>enter lgs, walk straight to the handgun counter

>look at a few other rifles, blah blah
>start walking back towards the handguns again
>Guy asks me AGAIN "So whats your favorite handgun caliber?"
>"Uh 9mm..."
>Hands me the same cz75 he showed me earlier, but it's a .40
>I check my phone and say I have to go
apparently he forgot that we had been talking about and looking at handguns for a good ten minutes in the five minutes I was looking at rifles.

>other counter jockey is a fat tacticool 40s fag and pipes up with "you really should just get a 10mm glock, .44s are for dirty harry fanboys"
>explain to him that those two guns are completely different, used for completely different tasks, and that the .44 magnum is a far superior round (I had to poke the autism bear)
>milfymilf smirks as bearchub takes a deep breath

>ask if they have the white box winchester and if they will price match walmart
>of course!
>Get 5 boxes
Now I get all my .44 ammo from that one store.
>>29876292
Not surprised at all. I tried to get a job there once because of all the old milsurp they have, but they expect you to work 60 hours a week before overtime, no exceptions. Not surprised in the least that the guys they got running the front are so strung out they can't do math in their head anymore.
>>29876108
Which Turners? My friend works at the Pasadena one and he knows his shit decently well.
My favorite LGS is Guns Direct in Burbank, though.
>>29875711
When the nugget was less than $100, people flipped their shit and when you get something like that, you begin seeing all sorts of positives about the gun. The fall back for all the negative aspects got smothered out with "it's only $80, whatever!".
This in turn becomes wildfire and an open secret for many. These people then all start their own little circle jerking clubs in order to pat each other on the back for their crazy smart decision to purchase nuggets.
The mosin reaches mythical status, for people new to guns that want something cheap to start out, all the neckbeards will scream mosin, which isn't a bad choice.
Then, prices go up, now you "might" get lucky and score one for near that mythical price, but you're looking at near entry-level modern bolt gun prices.
Now, the only major selling point of the rifle is out the window. Much like how all the old timers who bought when Remington was actually trying, they in part STILL suggest newer people to remington. They don't care or keep up, they got their share of the pie when it was hot and fresh, they've since moved on and still tell people that pie is hot and fresh.
People who ask about buying a mosin are those who have caught on way late, now they get goddamn confused why this rifle, thats hyped up by certain groups, doesn't seem to exist, or at least exists for a much higher price. Or lord forbid why other gun owners, haven't a fucking clue why that guy would want a mosin over anything else in 2016. The guy is running off years old advice.

In my opinion the only reason to get amozon is for the curio and Relic value. You can still get Russian one for under 200 but if you're really into it for collecting you probably want to get finish or something of superior quality than that which should be closer to 4.

You could always get one in .308 and buy ZQI 7.62 NATO for $0.48 a round. Not too bad seeing as decent 5.56 costs about $0.30 a round

They're the closest place to me that sells guns and ammo. If the processes wasn't so legally retarded here in New Jersey I'd be tempted to start my own gun store just so I didn't have to deal with theses fucks.

you in bound brook nigga? used to live in NJ, moved over to PA (do it) last year. I drove down that way and made a pit stop on rt 28 off 287 when I'd go down to bar hop at Rutgers with friends. I always passed by this store but never went in. Sounds like this place needs to be nuked.
>>29880496
I'm about 7 miles Northeast of Bound Brook, right in the Southernmost tip of Morris county. The place really should be nuked.
Thankfully I've found two relatively new places in both Green Brook and Warren that are not only closer, but also aren't staffed by dick heads. Efingers isn't getting another fucking cent from me.

>>29876292
My dad has a coworker that works there. I've gotten a chance to go into the back rooms and meet the owner. It is a really neat place to go, but you really need to make sure you find the right person to talk to. While some are bros, some are condescending turds that make things rough for you.
Anyway, you really shouldn't be buying something there unless you are looking for something obscure or very specific. While I've had good luck haggling with them, their prices are too high for you to warrant getting anything "run-of-the-mill" out of them.

I hear so many of these stories. What is it with gun stores not wanting to sell guns? You'd think they'd take a little bit of time to learn about the tens of thousands of dollars more they could be making by all the perfectly legal sales they deny.

Honestly I've always held the opinion that these types are just shit at retail in general. But honestly, I think the best thing to do is just let the owner know what's up, if they're not the owner. If they are they probably won't last long.

Most gun stores are stocked by autists, not sales personel. It's always the owners friend's ex wife's kid sister's son behind the counter at many mom and pops and AR big box stores it's a revolving door of the lowest commo n denominator stuffed into a uniform and forced to stack shelves for the lowest pay they'll accept.
A few non chain gun stores near me have tried to hire salesmen and change up the business model, but a used car salesman behind the counter who doesn't know jack shit about anything in the case is the same 10lbs of shit in a different 5lb bag.

His story is a perfect example of the dunning Kruger effect. King shit wageslave misses out on his 3% commission on a cool grand because he thought he could "upsell" the guy to a cheaper gun 720 degrees and a moonwalk away from what he came to the store for.

>>29884844
I've always felt it depends on the size of the store. Some stores are tiny holes in the wall. Then you have something like PSA where the store is massive. All the smaller stores are fairly talkative and I don't think they'd mind too much. PSA it might get weird when their busy though, because when their busy it's generally so packed it takes 10-15 minutes to even get a hold of an employee.
>>29883869
Sometimes it's the faggots that owners/managers hire, not necessarily the store itself.
>>29884077
This does help, and most of the time the issue will get fixed, if not, fuck that store.

>HUH I neva thought bout dat.
or
>I just want a cheap holster that CLIPS onto muh pants cause I don wear a belt.
Well ma'am, you may want to reconsider wearing a belt, a gun can weigh down your pants and besides that, it offers retention to your firearm, since you're going to open carry you should probably make it harder for (tyrone) to steal it from you.
>Oh wow, that makes so much since
or
>But muh pants don't have belt loops.

This is a not so common ocurance. If I had it in my hands I could probably figure it out and show you but I'm not familiar with them, Smith and Wesson did a lot of upgrades to those, but I'm not sure where they differ.
Someone on the firearmsforum suggested to another person with the same problem to look at The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly Part V Shotguns Second Edition.
If your local gunstore has a copy, see if they'll copy the pages for you, we typically do this as well as reloading data from manuals if they just want to do one caliber.
>>29885747
Also, try watching this to see if you can figure it out.

Probably that one on the 60 and stapley. Starts with a C.
The gun store that's about 4 miles from my house is pretty great. They have a good websites do the staff is bro tier. No one is stuck up.
Ok thinking about joining their range just because I want to support them, desu. Just wish they had more than indoor ranges.
>>29875360
>walk in
>Hey, how ya doin today?
>ah pretty good. you?
>oh just fine. anything I can help you with?
>nah, just looking around for now.
>OK. Just let me know if you need any help.
Anybody else deal with this absolute hell? GOD, WHY DO THEY HAVE TO SUCK SO MUCH!??!?!?!?!
>>29875360
I'm almost 19 but haven't had the cash flow for guns until very very recently so i went a few days ago to a LGS/Range near love field airport in Dallas, pretty funny but good experience since i already knew what i was doing.
Story:
>be me, just got out of class, still wearing my business casual required unifrom
>decide to blow off some steam with a full auto
>Goto LGS
>Walk in, catch attention of cute blonde running counter
>"I'd like to rent one of the full autos"
>Has me fill out waiver, pick out gun, runs card
>Then takes ID and runs it
>blonde comes back, "i thought you were 21, didn't realize you were 18, i can't let you rent a FA"
>Cue joke about how stupid NFA is
>she chuckles and agrees
>Says i look "respectable" enough that she would let me but
>DEMS DA RULEZ
>Tells me they'll let me shoot any of the Semi autos and no range fee since they already ran card
>Pick AR-15 and AK-47 since i've never shot either
>Shoot all my ammo in <10 mins
>look to my left and guy is firing a AR-15 "pistol" with 8 inch barrel
>LOUD AF even with hearing protection
>Look right and see redneck family enjoying their date night with their fudd rifles and sisters.
>turn guns back in
>Start talking to the hispanic ex marine now running counter
>dude carries four pistols in his truck ready for use and carries
>Proceed to spend an hour and a half learning about pistols and shit
>End up talking with other hispanic manager guy and white old guy who work there
>Everyone politely explains to me their preferences in caliber
>9mm, 45ACP, and .357 SIG all in attendance
>Even though i couldn't buy they still thrust pistols into my hand to try
>leave happy and ready to own a gun
>Then go home to shitpost on /k/
>YFW this is a good LGS story
BONUS:
>Get home
>mom is half and half on owning guns
>show her my good groupings
>Tell her what the ex marine said about pistols
>Mom now says she wants to buy me a pistol as a grad gift
Any suggestions on first pistol for home/car carry?
>>29887069
Oh don't even get me started on all the times my LGS gave me a discount because I'm a regular customer. What a bunch of dicks.
>>29887113
Probably a Bulgarian Mak. They're pretty nice and your mom won't have to break the bank getting one.
>>29887113
Everyone will tell you to get something reasonable or practical. A glock, ruger, sig, H&K in 380/9mm/40/45. Something along those lines.
You've got to tone those voices out. If it is your first gun and a gift you want something fun that you might not otherwise get for yourself.
Get a Ruger Redhawk in 357, a Vaquero in 45 colt, or a S&W Model 29 classic in 44mag.
Something big, stupid, and fun that you can treasure forever. A $500 9mm, you can get that whenever. A thousand dollar wheelgun is more special.
>>29887148
Those are in 9x18 though, as cool as it would be i need something a little more common.
>>29887162
One of those would be sick, but my mom only has around $500 she's willing to spend...
>>29887162
didn't he say it was a carry gun though?
if its for shits and giggles, get a model 29 in 44mag.
as big of a 1911 fanboy as I am, its not a noob gun that everyone can carry.
so go with with a M&P Shield in 9mm for now.
>>29876143
nice senpai
>>29885985
I thought voter registration cards an acceptable form of secondary proof of residency.
>>29887187
Ya it is for carry
I got to handle the M&P's and those felt really nice and contoured.
The ex marine let me hold his FNS he carries and that was really awesome, granted he did trick it out with some cool night sights and shit.

>girl who's into guns
1% chance she's single, and if she is, 1% chance she'll go for you instead of the best shooter/gun collector in the room.
question for all gun store employees ITT.
how do you feel about the kids in gun stores with parents?
not like, 17 year olds. no. like 14 and under.
cause before I could get my own shit I went shooting all the time.
I tried to talk to the counter dudes when it wasn't busy, just small talk about stuff, and they always were total dicks.
look, I get it. I was a kid, whatever.
but IMO, shouldn't you be nicer to kids? they're the next generation of shooters and all, and if you don't get 'em when they're young, the democrats get them and then they hate everything about guns.
just a theory.

Which fun store is your pic related? Rio Rancho fag here

looks like the big calibers off the freeway, or their fist store.
also, fellow RR-ish fag here.
I'm right on the line, but ABQ side.
so happy that ironwood has waffles now.
love me some waffles.
>>29887342
I was the westside calibers yesterday, they rearranged their store for some reason.... I heard that some guy offed himself at the other location, pretty crazy

Man you'd think our government could afford better guns and magazines for their agents.
>>29884009

>>29884344
"Collectors" Firearms is a joke, all their milsurp are overpriced. You only go there to look or if you are rich and don't care about money, buy.
>>29887363
man, I hate it when places rearrange their shit.
is it just me or does the young dude (I think lenny or something) a bit of a dick?
I mean, hes not directly a dick, he just kinda gives that feeling off.
but the old guy, john, is totally fucking based. always talk to him if you can.
>>29887398
I can't say I've seen either of them, I want to go to the freeway location tomorrow though so I'll see if they're there
>>29887422
nah, they're at the one by burker king and shit.
I think I got my locations mixed up, I dunno.
>>29887436
There's a black dude that works there that's pretty cool too. Did you ever go to the original calibers on Paseo and the 25 freeway? It's a car crafters now lol
>>29887390
Literally the only thing they're good for is the super-rare shit. Their milsurp is overpriced, but I'll be damned if they can't get their hands on some historical artifacts.
>>29887372
u didnt call the cops and distract him for a few minutes :(
>>29887446
yeah, the black dude is cool.
I did go there, was a good place.
>>29887461
I shot my first funs there.... good times
>>29887473
heh, same.
man, all us ABQfags gotta meet up some time at double eagle or something.
I know one /k/ommando here that has posted his garand that i really want to shoot.
>>29876108
please tell me it wasn't reseda.
also we had some asshole try to pick up his hipoint carbine while his wife was giving birth in our parking lot today.
happy mothers day i guess.
>>29887478
That would be sweet. There's a guy on facebook who's putting together a normie shooting meet in West sandoval county.
I went to a LGS about three weeks ago and fired a gun for the first time with my grandpa. :)
We rented two handguns, a .22 and 9mm, to use at they're range, I didn't check the brands due to the excitement tho. IT WAS SO FUCKING FUN!
I've loved guns since I was young so this was a huge thing for me. I knew they would be loud, but holy fuck they were loud! Also I learned how fucking hot casings are when they are ejected, I could feel the heat from them when they bounced off my shoes and pants. I also didn't expect as much kick from a 9mm as I got. I was so nervous and excited, I was shaking with adrenaline for almost half an hour after we were done!
I didn't keep track of how many .22 ammo I fired but I know I fired 30 9mm rounds total. My grandpa was and still is impressed with how tight my groupings were, since then we have been going to a lot of pawnshops to compare prices of handguns and every time he kept talking about our trip and how well I did. :)
Sorry for the blogpost.
>>29883669
Wasn't nervous, just every gun store ive entered here in california has said I can't hold their handguns because im under 21. I own 2 handguns as well.
>>29887504
Are you a grill?
guys, this thread. don't make me do another tales from the gun counter. i had to do one friday night and it was terrible
>>29887459
Nah he was a federal agent. Not like they could arrest him.
Still wasn't as sketchy as the guy who said he was incharge of teaching a EOD class and was looking for fertilizer and stuff to set up a mock bomb making shack.
I sold him low nitrate, gucchi miracle grow type stuff that was over priced.
His wife was 9.5/10 blond and he looked like he might have been law enforcement/ military so I let it go.
>>29887553
If you do, make a new thread, shit was side splitting

So did you pick dubs?
>>29880148
I had that happen to me, tried to buy some .22, said I could not, so I left. I have bought 4 guns now, and never from that store. Fucking love capitalism. If you are going to treat your customers like shit, you will lose customers.
I don't like gunstores. I feel awkward as fuck in them because I feel like owning a firearm and even just being a gun owner is taboo because I live near Chicago and everyone demonizes guns and we have nowhere to shoot cheap.
These threads give me joy. :(
>>29876801
Get back to work Daniel.
I wish the place I work at sold guns, we're an outdoor work wear and military surplus store. at least we get ammo from time to time

The gun has virtually no recoil and after shooting the Glock 23, it is a stark difference.
>>29887195
I think some states differ. IIRC only some states require secondary ID, which still has to corroborate with the primary.
Regardless, when somebody argues or in any way gets upset with a 4473 they know they can't buy it anyway
>>29887398
Lenny gives me the fucking creeps.
