For years, I have a fantastic gun smith. Great service, great prices, quick to get things down, and even got to know his family, Wife, daughter, new Baby and even their two dogs.
I ordered a New Smith and Wesson 642 last week and used him for my FFL dealer. When I went by, I saw a sign posted that he was out of business. It also said that any deliverers be made to *(*(*&&& a local LGS. So I went to this location which is notorious for selling guns at very high cost.
And there behind the counter was my Gun Smith. He saw be and quickly came over, apologized for the inconvience and told me in a low tone. Go someone else for the re-shipement. He use to charge $20.00. This place charges $50.00. He told me that he tried in Vain to get the owner to allow his previous customers the ability to pay only the $20.00 that he use to charge and of course his customers would bring in new business. The owner said NO. I asked if he will still do gun Smith work on his own, and he said no, it will have to go through this LGS.
I told him, I will miss him and his family, wished him well, but will use the services of another local dealer that only charges $20.00 and has a reputable gun smith. If he ever decides to get back into business for himself, call me and he will get my business again, however I will not give this LGS a dime.
It is sad to this happen. I do wish him and his family well. I could tell he was not happy about the new place he was working, but a man has to do what he has to do.
Ps, I had to pay Tombstone tactical another $25.00 shipping fee. You would think that the LGS would take that into consideration to get my business.
