    My dad and I happened to be passing through Grants Pass about a year and a half ago and decided to waste some time at a local gunshop...

    Guy had a decent number of AR's... but all low budget to middle of the road brands with "DEA Tough" prices.

    My dad and I were just looking them over and getting a nice monologue from the guy behind the counter about "milspec" this and FBI that...

    I asked him if he knew where Noveske's shop was and if it was open to the public...

    Man did he turn red faced and his tune changed... seemed actually pretty pissed.

    I will never forget that "oh shit" look on his face when he knew he had just spouted off and been caught... just because I knew Noveske existed... it is somewhat sad really...

    Same thing happened to me with my RRA (it was my first AR). In fact I went back and bought two more RRA uppers and sold them for a profit and put it all into my new BCM BFH DD Lite recce upper I just bought.

    Last year when I was looking for an AR I took a trip to Gander mountain to check some out (this was during the period where it was impossible to find them anywhere). They had just got in some Rock Rivers and Bushmasters and the salesman tried to tell me that RR was top of the line and when I pushed the matter he just told me to trust him because he used to be in special forces. Also when I asked him if they could order a Noveske he gave me a strange look and asked if they were russian. He then told me to stay away from those unknown brands and that a RR would be better anyway. A few months later they had a Les Baer on the shelf at a ridiculous price. I asked the same guy why the Les Baer was so much more expensive than the RR and he told me, "Because they run 1000 rounds through it to break it in". I proceded to tell him some would consider that a used rifle and he got all offended. I decided I wasn't going to buy anything from him.

    I had to back off the line when a guy took the bench next to me, and pulled out a home made black powder muzzle loader, and said something along the lines of "I hope this doesn't blow up!"
    Ouch




    Stop it




    My chest, it hurts. LMAO.

    I dealt with an FFL locally last week, who I'd only had one prior transaction with.

    The guy actually knew his stuff. It was a real pleasure to deal with the guy.

    Didn't B.S. me, I'll do business there again.

    I don't even talk to the guys about guns in gun stores anymore, Hell I just try to get out of there without some wild eyed old man trying to tell me some tale or something he'd heard of, etc. You know, when the Tin Foil starts showing.

    Or why the guy behind the counter thinks RRA or Bushmaster is "just as good".

    I just don't want to argue anymore, there aren't hours enough in the day.
